With Graduation Season Upon Us, Here Are Gifts Every Graduate Actually Wants

Seniors have about a month left until they walk across the stage at graduation! Here are some ideas to start planning and buying the perfect gift for your favorite graduate. From the more basic gifts to super customizable ones, these will dazzle any graduate and help them look, feel, and be their best self to start off their journey in the real world!

1. Alumni Gear

After putting in all the hard work and dedication to graduate, it's time to rock that nice alumni sweatshirt, hat, or other apparel item. Make sure to pick the best design to match the graduates personality!

2. Adult Things

Giphy

Apartment decor and accessories, electronics, random kitchen gadgets or appliances, and things that college students never really needed before make great graduation gifts. Or, you can help them to upgrade to a newer version of these is also a great idea.

3. Money

Giphy

Money is always a safe bet when it comes to gift giving. Whether someone uses it to pay down a credit card or splurge on something nice for themselves, money will always be greatly appreciated, especially for those finishing college with some hefty student loans.

4. Picture Collage

Giphy

If you enjoy giving sentimental gifts, you should consider making a picture collage of sorts for the graduate in your life. There are so many online websites and options to customize something special for them whether it be a poster, canvas, or anything in between!

5. A Nice Watch

Nothing screams adult, more than a nice watch. It also makes for a great accessory in the office and will spruce up any interview outfit.

6. Professional Clothes

Giphy

Most college students have two kinds of outfits: the leggings and oversized t-shirt look or the barely wearing clothes going out outfit. By the time graduation rolls around, most college students are in desperate need of professional attire. Gifts cards to stores that sell great options for office outfits are great for those gift-givers who don't know a graduates size or style well.

7.  A gift card or membership for something they like to do.

Giphy

Find something that the graduate in your life loves to do and treat them to a gift card or membership that relates to their favorite hobbies. Think of things like yoga or a culinary classes. Also, items or activities and such that you know they wouldn't buy or do for themselves will make for the perfect gift and will make any graduate ecstatic!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
