Christmas is approaching, and that means only a few more weeks left of school. If you are stuck on what to get your student or your friend, stocking stuffers are the way to go.

These are some things that every college student wouldn't mind getting in their stocking:

1. Money

Yes, I mean who would not want money? We will be home for month and all of our friends are back in town. Most things cost money to do, and we are broke college students.

2. Giftcards

Please give us gift cards. More importantly, Starbucks gift cards. I can't tell you how much money I spend at Starbucks, I went through my bucks so fast because of coffee. Another gift card you could get is any food place that is on campus. Ask your student what places are on campus and get them gift cards for that place.

3. Headphones

I can't explain how useful headphones are even extra headphones. The best ones are noise canceling headphones if you are trying to study in the library or in your room.

4. Chapstick

No one likes chap lips, and winter is approaching. No more dry lips!

5. Good, not cheap, socks

We don't have the money to splurge on socks.

6. Netflix subscription renewal

This helps us study when we get back to school.

7. Phone charger

Because you can never have enough.

8. FitBit

Easier to justify "walking to class" as a daily workout.

9. Candy

Literally never not relevant.

10. Bananagrams//Cards Against Humanity

We like games too.

11. Underwear.

New, clean underwear means less laundry. Big win.

12. Pocket Bible.

So you can take God everywhere for any occassion.

13. Slippers

Okay, these might not fit in a stocking, but if you have to put them under the tree, we'll still enjoy them.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
