Stockings always play a role in gift-giving, but oftentimes they're a throw-together-at-the-last-minute kind of thing.

Here are some good stocking stuffers that'll make anyone in the family happy.

1. Portable Charger

Portable chargers are a necessity currently. You can get something basic and sleek or go for a more fun design, but any charger will do the job. They're small and perfect for the bottom of the stocking!

2. Mini Emergency Kit

You ever know when you're going to be in an emergency, which is why one of these little kits is perfect for the holiday season. You can put one of these in a backpack, purse, or car and have it anywhere just in case something dangerous happens.

3. Gift Cards

Gift cards are the go-to for Christmas shopping. If you don't know what someone likes, you can get them a Visa pre-paid card and allow them to spend it anywhere! Or, you can go for somewhere like Target where anyone can find something they enjoy!

4. Metal Straws

Reusable or metal straws are a really good idea! You can take them with you anywhere and they make saving the environment quick and easy.

5. Hygiene Items

All hygiene-related objects are super useful and not too expensive. You can get someone a razor, a hairbrush, or toothpaste and you can rest assured they'll all be helpful down the line somewhere. You can also go a step further and get face masks or bath bombs.

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.

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?

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
