As finals week begins and the semester comes to a close, college students are looking forward to the day that they come home. Winter break also means Christmas is nearing, and often, shopping for college students can be hard. Shopping for females is not that hard however, if you know what to look for. They like clothes, food, and anything fluffy. Compiled below is a list of things that are sure to make your college student happy.


1. Fuzzy socks.

Especially christmas ones.


2. Fuzzy blankets.

The $25 ones from Target are always just slightly out of a college student's budget.


3. Fuzzy sweaters.

It's like hugging a puppy.


4. Anything else that is fuzzy.

Just let us all be soft and warm and happy.


5. Makeup.

Just buy me all of Sephora. Please and thanks.


6. Blanket scarves.

The easiest way to dress up an outfit when you're too lazy to try.


7. Candles.

Just because they aren't allowed in dorms, doesn't mean they aren't used in dorms.


8. Bath bombs.

Because all of winter break will be spent taking the baths we don't get to take in college.


9. Mugs.

Of any kind. Literally, any kind.


10. A Yeti Cup.

They are the newest "it" thing, and they are a must when walking to class in the morning.


11. Victoria's Secret.

Seven for $27 is every girl's favorite thing to hear.


12. A Polaroid camera.

Because who doesn't love tiny pictures of themselves on film?


13. Gift cards.

Of any kind. Food, clothes, it doesn't matter. College kids love to hear the word "free money".


14. FOOD!!!!!!!!

Because one of the worst things is having to survive off of campus food for a whole semester.


15. Headphones.

Honestly though, where does our favorite pair always seem to end up?


16. Screen protectors.

Tempered glass ones work best, because college students can not afford to spend $100 on fixing their screen when they drop it.


17. Subscriptions.

Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple music etc. These are simple gifts for college students that are decently cheap to keep up with every month and are perfect for using in their free time.


Happy Holidays, college students.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
