The holidays should be anything but stressful. It's a time show your appreciation to family, friends and co-workers. Best of all, it's a time to give! Here are 10 gift ideas for anyone from teenagers to your uncle or your father!

1. Fuzzy or fun socks 

We all love a good pair of socks. You can gift fuzzy ones for walking around the house during the winter or even purchase ones with avocados on them for your friend who loves nothing more than enjoying some guacamole.

2. Headphones

This gift is promising! You can get anything from inexpensive Bluetooth headphones to big brand name headphones like Beats, but almost everyone loves them and uses them.

3. Makeup/Hair Products 

Sometimes we look like this when we try out a palette for the first time (well, maybe not all of us), but that's the fun in it. Sephora is a great idea for anyone who is interested in makeup, hair or skincare.

4. Mugs/Hot Chocolate/Hot Cocoa Set

For sipping on tea and whatnot! We all love a mug with character.

5. Art/Posters/Decor 

There is nothing wrong with another artsy or creative poster for people who are looking to gift to college or high school students. I recommend Redbubble. For people who are older, perhaps a new painting or something to mount onto a wall.

6. Books/Journal

Whether they like to read, write, or both, this is a classic gift idea.

7. Bluetooth speakers

For music lovers, this is a gift that will never get old to receive. It's not rare to need a replacement and there will always be better speakers to upgrade to. I suggest doing a little research!

8. Concert/Theater tickets 

Nothing (and I mean nothing) is better than seeing a performance happen right in front of your eyes in real time.

9. Customized wine/shot/regular glass

For those over 21, a customized wine glass can be quite classy. For those under the legal drinking age, a regular mug or glass with a personalized message or phrase they use often can also be a fun gift.

10. Jewelry 

It can be as expensive or inexpensive as you would like it to be, but jewelry is always a great gift.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
