Ahhhh Christmas: the season of giving. Whether you're ready for it or not, it's approaching and it's coming for you (and your wallet). You're probably drowning in papers, finally projects, and have no idea what to get your family and friends (not to mention that random secret Santa you got a work . . . UGH!) But don't worry, we got you. Here are some quick, easy, and inexpensive gifts for just about anybody!

For your bff

Okay, so let's be honest. You should know this. But just in case you tuned out during your last trip to the mall when she was drooling over that new Lily Pulitzer agenda, here's a few ideas:

1. Crafty wine glass . . . or just about anything else alcoholic

Either you can take a quick trip to Michael's and go glitter these things or simply pick one up at the mall! They're everywhere - super cute and super easy on the wallet.

2. Something cozy

I know I know . . . socks. A kid's worst nightmare to open on Christmas morning. But let's be real, we all secretly love these adorable packages when they complete our PJ look in front of the fireplace.

For your siblings

Family gifts are just about the easiest thing for you if you're close. You know those you shared the same womb with inside and out. But just in case you've hit a wall with them this year, here's a few hints:

1. Adult coloring book for her

Last year, these were all the rage. Don't let the good things die! These coloring books are proven to soothe your annoying sister. And if they don't, just steal them when she gets on your nerves and they'll work their magic on you instead!

2. Something completely ridiculous for him

Either you should get your brother something you know he absolutely needs (like more protein powder) or just go in the opposite direction completely. Guys are generally easy to please and it'll give everyone a good laugh.


For your parents

Parents will love you know matter what. They understand you're busy with school and work and don't want you to go broke at their expensive. That being said, showing up the rest of your family by having the best gift is always a plus.

1. Coffee

Coffee, a Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks card, a new coffee maker, or even simply make their coffee for them on Christmas morning. They'll be so grateful! You know first hand (having yourself as a child), they're going to need it.

2. An offspring Christmas card

When you were younger, this was cute. Now it's just too funny! Have these PJs at hand for a good laugh.

3. Anything sentimental

Or you can go old school and give the gift that keeps on giving . . . yourself!


For that awkward secret Santa

Yeah, we've all been there. Your co-workers organized the dreaded white elephant. You pulled the name of someone you barely know and are at a total loss. It's okay, take it easy!

1. Gift card!

You can't go wrong.

2. Seriously. . . just get a gift card.

Good luck this Christmas Season!

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
