7 Christmas Gifts for That Person You Can't Stand

Ho, ho, I hate you.

The holiday season is one of giving joy, hope, cheer, and your money to people who sometimes don't deserve it. Whether it's from an unfortunate draw from the Secret Santa hat or a certain relative in your family, at some point everyone has to buy a gift for "that person." Here are seven things to buy for that one person you just can't stand this year.

1. A kudzu plant

Oh, but not just any old plant. From the outside, the kudzu plant looks innocent and sweet, but little does the person receiving this plant know that it is actually wildly invasive and will aggressively take over their garden (and maybe their house). Encourage them to hang the vine in a nice plant hanger on their porch or in a cute pot by their garden, then just wait.

2. Toilet paper

The look of confusion on their face may tempt you to burst out laughing, but don't. Simply say it's a metaphor. Do not tell them it's because they're a crappy person. That's for you to know and for them to find out.

3. An empty box of Oreos (or any treat)


Everyone knows the frustration of going into the pantry to find that someone but the box of your favorite treats back on the shelf EMPTY. This holiday season, capture that moment of hatred in a thoughtful gift. If you really want to mess with them, fill the box with rolls of coins or something that makes the box seem full.

4. A box/envelope of glitter


It's festive, it's fun, and it's a f**cking mess. Just imagine the rigorous vacuuming required when the glitter explodes everywhere.

5. Hillary Clinton's book for the Republican...


What's better than the gift of a quality, liberal-leaning explanation of that nightmare of an election for that special someone in your life that would rather burn themselves alive than touch something Secretary Clinton wrote?

6. ...and a "Make America Great Again" hat for the Democrat

You can always play this one off as a joke, but you may not be able to get a word through the blood-curdling scream that will erupt out of said Democrat upon opening it.

7. Coal

The classic "you've been so naughty this year that I got you a limited natural resource" never gets old. Plus, it will remind them of their childhood when their parents threatened coal for Christmas.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
