Last Minute Christmas Gifts Ideas

Many people have a lot going on around the holidays, and it can be very easy to forget about one person. You might need to just add a little something for the stocking, but no matter the reason, there are some easy options for you. This can also come in handy if you are struggling on what to get a certain someone, because let's be honest, all the instagram stalking can get tiresome.

1. Money

You can never go wrong with the old-fashioned way of gift giving. It may be a less original gift to give, but I have never complained if I got money during the holidays.

2. Something Useful

Try and think of items or things that the said person could find helpful. Maybe they need a newer edition crockpot, or they might need a new flat iron, because there's doesn't work good anymore. It may seem mundane to you, but that minor attention to detail can mean a whole lot to someone you care about.

3. Gift Card

Whether your friend is obsessed with Amazon (like me), Books-a-Million, or Sephora, a gift card is the perfect gift to feed into their addiction. Without having to worry over what exactly to buy, you can just let them do it theirselves.

4. Subscriptions

Once again, you can reduce your stress by making their life a little easier. Pay for their Disney plus, a book of the month, or Amazon Prime membership. No matter if they prefer shopping, reading, or entertainment, there is a subscription perfect for just about anyone.

5. A cozy blanket

I love nothing better than a soft and warm blanket. You can create a personalized one, if you want to add a sentimental flair. A blanket might be a smidge simple, but it is the small things in life that mean the most.

6. A coffee mug

You can find the best mug for you friend, whether they love animals, the show FRIENDS, or cups with inspirational sayings. It is a useful item, and can be aesthetically pleasing.

7. Mini waffle iron

It is a great gift for that friend that loves a good midnight snack, or if y'all live in a dorm and need it to be a compact size. Always remember that good food is the way to the heart.

8. Oil diffuser

One of my best friends is absolutely obsessed with hers, and every time I enter her room it is filled with different auras and vibes. The oils truly change the atmosphere of the space, and can create a warming place for you to come home to.

9. An adult coloring book

They have quickly became more mainstream, and they come in many different forms. Everything from t.v. show themes to the adult forms of Disney characters. You can tailor the book to the vibes of you friend, and this provides a mechanism for relaxation and creativity.

10. Gift sets from Ulta

Who doesn't love makeup or beauty care? They come in all shapes, sizes, and uses, which is perfect for just about everyone. It gives your friend just a little bit of options for a reasonable price.

At the end of the day, the fact of gift giving is a personal and caring experience. Anytime some gives a gift, it makes those involved feel loved and enlightened at the fact they were thought about. No matter what you decide to get them, really dig deep into your heart routed in to the joy of giving.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
