You only graduate (undergrad) college once! Shower your love with gifts to celebrate all their hard work! Whether it's your best friend, sorority sister, or close relative, here's a list of cool shit that every recent grad wants.

1. A fancy-schmancy adult journal

Everybody needs a leather journal, and what better occasion to give one then graduation? This one has over 5 different options for covers and is only $24!

2. A giant, chunky knit blanket (that we're all too lazy to make ourselves)


Everyone has this pinned to their Pinterest board, but rarely do people get around to making them. Gift this one to your fave grad for only 22$!

3. A chic AF home sign

Some people move to a new place after college, so what better to gift to someone than a sign to make their home FEEL like home? This one is only $30, and is perfect for your chic grad!

4. A box full of cute succulents

For your friend that sucks the least, grab them this super cute box of 4 live succulents! It's all the craze right now, and they're so easy to keep alive that even your plant-killers will seem like gardeners! This one is only $22 and comes with a super cute greeting card. Suprise grad! Here are four baby plants to keep you happy.

5. A nice vintage university sweatshirt

Because nobody wants to admit that they're an alum, especially when they still want to party!

6. Food... nuff said

During college and after college, people tend to be broke. Spoil your favorite grad with their favorite binge snacks. Whether it's for emergency breakdowns, bad days, or just for snacks, your grad will love food! This 40 pack is only 20$. Bless up.

7. Travel related gifts

Encourage your grad to travel the world, because they're still young and need to live. This cute little luggage tag is only $5 and will totally inspire the wanderlust in your grad.

8. A book about escaping adulthood

If your grad is like many others, they will struggle sometimes transitioning into "real life." Buy them something to take the edge off (that isn't wine), like this cute/funny comic book for only 10$.

9. Something that reminds them to cook stuff

Even if it's frozen pizza. That still counts. This nifty gadget promises to provide more crispy pizza, and only for $15.

10. Boujee bookends

When people think of rich people's houses, fancy bookends usually are in the mix. Inspire your grad to strive for a good job and moo-lah! These bookends (look expensive), but are less than $20!


11. A personalized diploma display

Some graduates may want a fancy frame to display all their blood, sweat, and tears but for your country chic grad this laser printed replica is even better! This one is only $23!

12. A personalized candle reminiscing good times

Everybody loves the look of a candle, even if they don't like the smell! Buy your grad a unique scent (or scentless) candle made just for them to remind them of all the good college times.

13. Bath bombs... because DUH.

Graduating brings stress, tension, and unknown which are all things that can be cured with an hour-long bath featuring a bath bomb! Grab a bulk pack for $20!

14. Gift cards

Because let's be honest, sometimes people like to pick out their own gifts. OR grads may want to spend money on food or home items instead of things they don't necessarily NEED.

15. An "adult" and "profesh" watch

Make sure your grad isn't late for all those interviews, or late to watch This Is Us. Both important. You can get this one for $40!

16. Necklaces that don't say "I graduated"

Necklaces that say "Class of 2018" are so high school. Buy your grad a personalized necklace that is super adulty but not too basic. This one has various chain lengths, for the person who doesn't wear necklaces that are too short. Oh, it's also only $26.

17. Tools

Your roommate isn't there with her duct tape and gorilla glue, so it's time to give your grad the tools to actually fix shit! Give them this super cute set for $38, and it comes in pink and red!

18. Memories

This one doesn't cost money, but it may be the most important and special. Every graduate wants to know that you love them and that the memories y'all shared were special. Tell your grad just how you feel before they spread their wings and fly.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
