Sometimes during the holidays we struggle on what to get people as a gift.

We get frustrated because the holidays are fast approaching and we still haven't finished shopping. Here are a few ideas when you're really stuck on getting a gift for someone.

1. Candles

Yes, these can be slightly basic and unoriginal as gifts, but for moms, aunts or grandmas, this will certainly make them happy. Who doesn't like candles?

2. Grocery gift certificate

If you have a college student in your life that you're gift shopping for, they will certainly appreciate this.

3. Coffee mug or thermos

For anyone who likes hot drinks, this is a great idea. They can use this everyday and will think of you when they do.

4. Jewelry

A cute necklace or bracelet is a great idea for a friend or family member.

5. Slippers

This is a great idea and you could even do a cute little combination gift with slippers, nail polish and nails files. This is guaranteed to be good for someone who likes to pamper themselves.

6. S'well Water Bottle

These are pretty popular right now and also super cute. This is great for someone who wants to stay in trend

7. Virtual reality headsets

These are really popping up everywhere right now and are also really cool. Depending on where you buy it, the price really ranges. Guaranteed to give anyone a good laugh.

8. Bath bombs

Anyone who enjoys baths will enjoy it a lot more with a nice bath bomb. Not only are they super unique looking when dropped in water, but they also leave your skin feeling extra soft.

9. Winter hat or baseball bat

No matter who you're shopping for, this is a great go to idea. People will definitely use and appreciate this gift.

10. Pajama set

Whether it be a set or even just pajama bottoms, someone will be wearing them and really admire them.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
