Year-long NatureBox subscription

If your mom is a health-nut (or just likes a nice healthy snack now and then) she might love a subscription to NatureBox. Every month she will receive a box with five different health snacks inside. It’s a gift that just keeps giving! NatureBox: https://naturebox.com

A cute new phone case

If your mom is techy, a cute new phone case could be the perfect way to go. There are an infinite number of designs available so you could commemorate her favorite sports team, a private joke you have together, or just something she would find aesthetically pleasing. Etsy.

Matching coordinates bracelets

Let your mom know that even if distance separates you while you’re at school, it will never keep you apart. These could be any location in the world that has significance to the two of you, such as the house you grew up in or your favorite vacation spot.

A funny tote bag

Call her more

I’m serious. As a gift to your mother schedule in an extra phone call home every week or month. This costs you nothing more than your phone bill and is sure to make her happy. Although you might want to throw in a tangible gift as well, just in case.

Happy shopping!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

"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?
