Why do kids have all the fun? As adults, we spend our holidays making every little thing perfect and special for the kids in our lives. We enjoy it and they deserve no less than our best efforts, but at times, we forget ourselves and each other in the process! It's time we remember the special grown ups in our lives! This Easter, check out this list of ideas to help you prepare an Easter basket everyone can enjoy! Before you hide the eggs for your kiddos, have some Easter fun of your own!

1. Movie Tickets

For your film fanatic, movie tickets are the perfect treat!

2. Soda

We all know caffeine addicts. The ones with a bottle of Mtn Dew or Diet Coke glued to their hand 24/7. "Help" their habit by adding their favorite soda to the basket!

3. Hand Sanitizer

For the practical gifter, items like hand sanitizer, Kleenex, or mini first aid kits are always useful! Take good care of your loved ones!

4. Art Supplies

Adult coloring is popular for a reason! We love tapping into our kid-creativity. Help your friends relax by adding art supplies to the mix! College kids: Crafts are the perfect diversions, taking your mind off of upcoming finals! Good additions are colored pencils, crayon, and coloring books!

5. Coffee Mug

For your coffee/tea drinker, a fun Easter-themed mug helps cultivate the spirit of spring! You can even add your own tea bags!

6. Gift Card

You can never go wrong with gift cards! Amazon, Starbucks, their favorite restaurant- you name it, they’ll like it.

7. Small Tools (hammer, tape measurer, etc.)

These practical tools will inspire your family and friends to start on those new spring building projects! (These are also a great way to drop a not-so-subtle hint to the not-so-handymen in your life!) Garden tools are also great for spring!

8. Crazy Socks

While these may be detested at Christmastime, brightly colored spring socks will bring springtime fun to your friends and their feet!

9. Playing Cards

Hunting eggs isn’t the only fun game to play at Easter! Enjoy family time by starting up a competitive game of cards!

10. Nail Polish, Makeup, etc.

Add a mini spa day to the Easter basket! Get those toes ready for sandal season!

11. Umbrella

“April showers bring May flowers!” Prepare for the rainy, springtime weather with a bright umbrella!

12. Hat

Pick a hat to match their personality!

13. Hot Sauce

This is the perfect gift for the foodie in your life!

14. Book

The Easter season is the perfect time to read in the sun! Pick a book to compliment their interests!

15. Candle

While it may not be "Christmas Cinnamon", springtime scents are so yummy! Check out Bath & Body Works or a local candle shop to find the perfect one!

16. Candy!

Peeps, Cadbury Eggs, and Hershey’s are must-haves for every Easter basket! No matter the age, everyone loves this part of Easter!

Enjoy this beautiful holiday with those you love!

Happy Easter!

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.

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.
