During the holiday season, it can be hard to find the perfect gift for everyone. "Overwhelming" is an understatement when trying to make sure friends, parents, long-lost relatives, and your significant other are all pleased by your presents. Everyone has a different process for buying their gifts...

Gives you exactly what you ask for

This is the best kind of giver because you know you’ll love your present- it is what you asked for and picked out. You might have a put on your fake "surprised" face, but there is no worrying about opening up an ugly sweater that is 3 sizes too big.

Gives you what THEY would like

We are all guilty of giving our friends something we like just so that we can borrow it in the future. We try to convince ourselves "if I love it, they must too!"

The re-gifter

Wait, didn’t I see you get that from grandma last year?

Adds their name to someone else's gift

When you wake up on Christmas eve and realize you forgot to get Aunt Susie a present, sometimes it’s easier to just add your name to the card on the box of chocolates your mom bought her.

The procrastinator

You're probably going to get money or gift-cards from this person. By the time they remembered to get a gift, all the stores were closed.

The homemade gift giver

You can always expect the latest DIY project or a batch of homemade cookies from this giver. While people typically tease them for not “spending enough money” on presents, we are all secretly envious of their talents and wish we had thought of such a meaningful gift.

So, what kind of giver are you this holiday season?

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
