As we approach the holiday season, which can be described as the most wonderful time of the year, gift exchanging starts to begin. As much as we all wish we could slather our friends, family, and loved with expensive luxury items, we sadly cannot afford to buy our best friend a new car for Christmas. If you are looking for some affordable Christmas ideas then keep reading, so you can find items that both your friends and your wallet will love.

1. Cabin socks.

You can find these at Dick Sporting Goods with a price of 2 for $13.

2. Gourmet chocolates.

Check your local grocery store for gourmet chocolate gift sets that everyone enjoys.

3. Caramels.

Anything ranging from gourmet caramel sauce to your favorite caramel candies.

4. Candy canes.

Since it's the most jolly time of the year, why not gift some inexpensive, yet traditional sweet treats?

5. A new speaker.

If you are like me and enjoy listening to music, but go through headphones like they're water, then invest in a new portable speaker or some inexpensive headphones since everyone needs a backup.

6. Coffee mugs.

No matter if your friends are the worlds biggest coffee drinkers or they despise all forms of caffeine, a coffee mug is a great idea since it can be used for almost any drink. Plus the more mugs you own, the merrier and the less amount of dishes you have to do.

7. Customized blanket.

This is a great idea for a loved one or a parent. As the temperatures drop, the demand for blankets increase, so what better way to tell someone you love them than purchasing a blanket with their face on it?

8. Shower essentials.

If you are into Bath & Body Works products or you are a lover of all things shower essentials, then picking out a holiday scent lotion, shower gel, or body spritz is the way to go.

9. A photo frame.

This is a great way to be creative and make an inexpensive sentimental gift for the ones you love the most.

10. A classic USA Football.

These are perfect for post-dinner family gatherings!

11. Scented candles.

Everyone loves the smell of a fresh pine tree.

12. A cookbook.

Christmas cookies galore!

13. An automatic bottle/can opener.

So popping the champagne can be a little easier!

14. A heated blanket.

This is an essential for staying warm on cold and snowy nights.

15. A holiday pajama set.

Even better if you can match with your siblings!

16. Customized jewelry.

Get it with your birthstone!

17. Inspirational wall decor.

Everyone loves to see a feel good message!

18. Sugar lip caramel hydrating ball.

Great for kissing under the mistletoe!

19. Kitchen Essentials.

For when you move into your next college apartment!

20. A framed letter board.

So you can finally be hip!

21. A waffle maker.

Everyone loves waffles on a Saturday morning!

22.Bath salts/ bath bombs.

The perfect way to wind down at night.

23. A popcorn popper.

For all those Christmas movies you'll be watching!

24. Decorative throw pillows.

To cozy up in bed with!

25. A new calendar for the New Year.

To kick off 2019 on the right foot!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and are looking forward to a happy New Year!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
