Christmas is almost here, and with Christmas comes final season for already exhausted college students. With exam after quiz after paper after presentation as close as the end may seem to others, it always seems just out of reach for college students. And there are a few things these tired college students would appreciate for Christmas.

1. Heated blanket

Even if you crank the heat in dorms, there will be times where your room feels freezing. Help aid a tired college student's next comfortable nap by gifting them one of these this holiday season.

2. Bizzy Espresso Shots

From personal experience, coffee is one of the only things that gets college students through finals season. But sometimes you need a little something more. And Bizzy Espresso Shots are just the thing. Two shots of espresso packaged in a cute little bottle, the espresso shots work almost immediately and are effective for hours.

3. A pair of fuzzy pajama pants

Studying, and napping certainly, is much easier when you're comfortable. And pajama pants are the ultimate comfy clothing option. Bonus points if they're fuzzy.

4. Memory foam pillow

These pillows are like heaven. They offer the best support and comfort at the same time. But they are fairly expensive, and college students are fairly broke.

5. Cute coffee mug

Fun fact, you can mix those espresso shots in with regular coffee for an extra kick. And for some reason drinking coffee is, even more, fun in a fun mug. Help us wake up and enjoy it, give us a cute lil' coffee mug.

6. Dry shampoo

Showers are hard. And they take time. College students don't have tons of extra time, but we still want to look like a functioning human. And dry shampoo helps us meet in the middle on this issue.

7. K-cup pods

Okay, so maybe there is a theme of coffee on this list. But coffee is a big part of college life--especially for tired college students (aka every college student). And we can't really afford to buy a coffee every day, but I can guarantee that we either have a Keurig machine or know someone with one. Help us save money and our sanity by giving a few K-Cup pods in our stocking this year.

8. Melatonin

Melatonin is natural and helpful when it comes to falling asleep. As tired as we are, falling asleep can be one of the hardest things to remedy this. Thinking about quizzes and tests keeps us up at night. Sometimes we just need a little help.

9. A fuzzy blanket

This is different from a heated blanket, and the difference is very important. This blanket is for the days when your heater does decide to work. Naps are just ten times better with a fuzzy blanket.

10. Flannel sheets


These are a lifesaver in the winter. Although they make getting out of bed even harder in the morning, the toasty wonderfulness that they bring while sleeping makes it worth it.

11. Soup

It keeps us warm and also helps one fall asleep at night (or during the day. Honestly, you cannot go wrong with food of any sort.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
