4 Ways to Kickstart Your Holiday Shopping

The holidays are fast approaching and crunch time of buying presents is coming, but sometimes it's just so hard. No matter how many people you shop for it becomes a daunting task, where do you even start? Here are a few ideas to kick start your holiday shopping!

1. Online Shopping (Gift Sections): During the holiday season a lot of online stores have gift sections with different sections.

Here are a few examples:

Hot Topic: http://www.hottopic.com/holiday/

In Hot Topic's holiday gift guide they have all kinds of sections for Christmas shopping, ranging from gifts under certain prices to white elephant gifts to gifts for him and her. This is a great place to start shopping for all your fandom friends and family.

Forever21: http://www.forever21.com/holidayshop/default.aspx

Another easy access place for holiday gift guides. They also have the holiday gifts for him and her section as well sections for cold weather items, bundles, and stocking stuffers starting at $1.

2. Online Shopping (Wish Lists):

The simplest way to start your search for gifts is ask your family (maybe even close friends) to make a wish list of some sort. An easy way and typical way in my family is to make an amazon wish list and update it every so often because this also helps for birthdays. Another way for the family that doesn't have an amazon account is to put links in an email and send them to those family members. I use this for my extended family to give them some choices so you don't know exactly what they're getting you.

3. The Simple Way:

The easiest way to insure your gift is well received is to give cash or a gift card. This is perfect for relatives and friends that are picky or hard to shop for.

4. The Creative Way:

Not all gifts have to be bought in one piece, if you happen to be the creative one in your family or friend group you can use your skills to make something wonderful!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
