Last Minute Christmas Gifts For College Students

Christmas is only a few days away, and it's perfectly understandable if you've procrastinated on your Christmas shopping. Now that ordering online is out of the question and you only have a few days left, here are some last minute Christmas gifts that every student in your life is sure to love.

1. Money

You can never go wrong with money. Not only will they be able to spend it on whatever they like, but they're also sure to love it. Plus, this is the one gift you don't have to worry about them hating and secretly returning.

2. Gift cards

This one is a lot like money- it gives your student a wide range of options in one present. Just make sure to find out what stores they like to shop at before buying one.

3. Headphones

In college, one of the easiest things to lose are headphones. Coming from a college student, I could never have too many sets. Or, if you want to change it up, try getting your student wireless headphones- if they have never tried them, they might end up living them.

4. Food

A college kid can never have too much food. Whether they have a meal plan or not, it's always nice to have some extra food in the dorm/apartment, just in case.

5. Bluetooth speaker

Chances are, every student has some use for a Bluetooth speaker. In the shower, in their room, at a "study group" who knows, but they'll love it.

6. iPad/ Tablet

If you're going for something a little more pricey, get them an iPad or tablet, if they don't already have one. They can be convenient for the student who doesn't always want to carry their laptop everywhere.

7. Portable charger

Students can get busy a lot of the time and sometimes forget to charge their phone. A portable charger can always come in handy, and they'll definitely get use out of it.

8. Household items

Anything from pots and pans to bathroom cleaners could be helpful. Ask your student if they need anything or have something in mind for this one, to make sure you don't get any duplicate items

9. Multi-charger

This can be helpful especially for a student living in a dorm. Outlets can be limited and so anything that can charge multiple electronics at once would be a huge help.

10. Card games

Anything from Cards Against Humanity to a regular pack of cards would do great as a gift. Students love having fun with their friends and card games are always a good go-to activity.

11. Pizza holder

Possibly the most useful and practical of the list is the pizza holder. Yes, you read that right. A pizza holder. It hangs around your neck and holds a piece of pizza, for on the go pizza eating. Honestly if your student says they don't want this, they're lying.

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
