Gift Cards are Everyone's Best Friend

Though gift cards don't seem to be personal, they are functional and practical. Personally, I love receiving gift cards because then I can go buy what I want instead of pretending to like a present that I don't actually like (anyone relate?). These could also be accompanied with a cute mug or some sort of candy. Who doesn't love candy? Adding other things also allows the gift to feel more personal as well.

Think Personal over Valuable

Those who say that they don't need a present, really have what they need. These types of people value thoughtful presents over expensive ones. Putting together a personalized basket is a great way to create value. You can include their favorite candy, movie, or food. Fuzzy socks are always a winner, especially for those who don't live in Arizona or any other warm place. Showing that you understand the person you are giving the present to really makes them feel special.

Buy a Practical Gift

Another option for those who hate spending money on themselves, or having other people do it, is to purchase a gift that is really practical. These gifts are especially good for young adults who don't know what they need in order to live on their own (like me). However, they are great for mothers as well. If anyone else's mom is like mine, she has everything that she wants (according to her). Kitchen supplies such as dishes and pans are very useful for these types of people. This is not limited to the kitchen though. Practical gifts can be anything they might need to use in their career, hobbies, or school.

Think Simply

Simple gifts might be "boring" to children, however, for those of us who don't spend our own money or don't have money, really appreciate the simple gifts. Getting older means appreciating more simple things in life. This includes having enough socks to not have to do laundry for an extra week! More examples of simple gifts are hats, pillows, or even makeup!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
