As college students many of us are away from our homes and families during the Christmas shopping season. This often makes it difficult to do Christmas shopping and it often gets left to the last minute with you rushing around trying to find the perfect gift out of what is leftover. However, here are a few websites to check out if you want to find that perfect present while having it still arrive on time.

1. Amazon

Of course, a given go-to for ordering online is Amazon. Amazon has truly everything from A to Z but additionally, they have reasonable prices that any college student can afford. Additionally, if you have Amazon Prime, which you can get for 6-months free with any college email, you can get your presents within a few days.

2. Target

Another store to check out online is Target. We all love Target but I didn't realize how much they have online that they do not carry in stores. From cute Christmas ornaments to awesome presents the Target website has everything.

3. TeeFury

For those who love not only t-shirts and crewneck but also love all things geeky, TeeFury is for you. The tshirts are custom made by artists that focus on topics such as Harry Potter, Marvel, DC, Star Trek and more. Even cooler though? They also carry holiday themed Ugly Christmas Crewnecks with designs featuring characters such as Toothless and Deadpool.

4. Subscription Boxes

What to get the person who has everything? A subscription box! These are a great gift idea because you can order a few months at a time for some low prices and there is a subscription box for everything imaginable. Additionally, it will be a gift that they can reuse for however many months you gave!

5. Uncommon Goods

One of my favorite websites that I have discovered as I order Christmas presents online is Uncommon Goods. As the name suggests they have gifts that come from various suppliers and small businesses that range from cutting boards of your favorite state, to coffee mugs with bad dogs on them and my personal favorite, tuned wine glasses. There are presents for everyone and the website is catered to help you search for a person based on their age and more.


While it may be difficult for college students to find that perfect gift, there are certainly ways that allows us to still find that perfect gift for those we love this holiday season.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
