It's that wonderful time of the year where we all put together gift ideas and exchange what to get. As the big day comes creeping around the corner, I figured it would be a great idea to write an article about 15 last minute gifts to get college students. And by last minute, I mean last minute.

1. Fuzzy Socks

This is for the girls. Those suckers could be from the $3 section in Target or from Five Below. We aren't hard to please. If they're soft, warm and comfy, we'll be thankful

2. Giftcards




You were all once college students, you know we're broke and you know there are plenty of options on our campuses. A $10 gift card to Starbucks goes a long way for us and saving money.


3. Movies


Sometimes we need break from studying and watching a movie is a good way to keep us busy. Some of us actually study better with this kind of noise in the background. Any movie works, we don't expect much.


4. Sports Gear


If your college student goes to a college campus near a big city where there are sporting events, sports gear doesn't hurt. It could be the university school spirit or a professional's team. Sports gear is sports gear.


5. Lotion


Our skin gets so dry when we walk on campus in the winter, lotion helps us out a ton.


6. Candles

Lighting candles is relaxing and something that makes our living spaces smell 10 times nicer than it originally does. These are something you just can't go wrong with.


7. Coffee Pods

When we go through our phases of intense studying in the comfort of our own homes, making a quick trip to Starbucks isn't something that we do. K-Cups are usually a must have for college students.


8. Coffee Mugs


Can't have K-Cups without coffee mugs!


9. School Supplies


With the new semester around the corner, that means new everything. New pencils, pens, binders, and notebooks. That's something that for sure doesn't come around cheap and make for great stocking stuffers.


10. Winter Gear


Walking an entire mile across campus in 10-degree weather really isn't the greatest thing in the world. So to add on to great stocking stuffers, gloves, hats and scarves wouldn't hurt.


11. Hand Warmers

OUR HANDS GET COLD. EVEN WITH GLOVES ON.


12. Apartment Gear


I have a minor pillow obsession and you can never go wrong with plates.


13. Batteries


Those suckers are expensive for us broke college students. We go through them a lot. For our calculators, our game controllers, and out remotes. A college student could never have too many batteries.


14. Sports Gear


Believe it or not some college students actually work out.


15. Money

Or if it's super last minute and you still have no clue what to get for the college student you're shopping for, just be safe and write them a check or hand them a $20. That can go towards groceries or even filling up our gas tanks.

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?
