Holiday Gift Guide: The Homebody

Hello friends, family, and readers everywhere!
Tis the season for gift giving and holiday cheer. Therefore, I've decided to come to you with a series of holiday gift guides for different types of people in your life. What would a weekly article be without me trying to solve your problems, am I right?

This first-holiday gift guide is for a gal I like to call "the homebody". This lady may hustle and have a busy life on a day-to-day basis, but when she has downtime, the first place you can find her is curled up in a blanket on her couch. She's probably scrolling through Netflix, enjoying some hot tea, or maybe even a glass of wine. Either way, she values comfort and balance in all facets of her life. All of this should be considered when purchasing a gift for this particular type of person.

If you've learned nothing over the span of your lifetime, remember this: it is the little details that make a difference. Take note of the little things and be thoughtful in your gift-giving. These small actions come across much grander and will get you farther than you may think. As humans, all we really desire is to be heard, remembered, missed, loved, and understood. If you can encompass one or more of these things within the act of gift-giving, you've won my friend.

Now, here are some great gift ideas for "the homebody". Feel free to get creative!

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Sam Houston State University

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

1. Wallow.

2. Cry.

3. Get Angry.

4. Tell Someone You Love Them.

5. Forgive.

6. Let go of the negative people in your life.

7. Be yourself.

8. Swallow Your Pride.

9. Stop Freaking Out Over Your Body.

10. Say No.

11. Accept Love.

Girls; they're notoriously late.

1. You spontaneously tried a new hairstyle....that you hated

2. You tried on 20 different outfits

3. You stabbed your eye with your mascara

4. You got caught stuck in bed checking social media

5. You were trying to impress someone

6. You forgot to check the weather

7. You just don't mind being THAT girl

8. You decided to wear shorts and realize you have to shave your legs

9. Your bed was just too warm compared to the Antarctic weather outside
