Gifts That Every ASU Student Wants This Year

In This Article:

For many parents, having their child go through their first semester of college is hard when it comes to the holidays. For me, I didn't even get to spend Thanksgiving at home thanks to ridiculously high flight pricing. But gift giving is a whole other problem. Usually, parents seem to get a good idea about what their kids want because they spend every day with them but when your kid grows up and heads to college, you might be left in the dark with ideas. That's why I created this gift guide, and let me tell you, every ASU student will want pretty much all of these.

Air Pods

There is not a day that goes by where I don't see someone with air pods while walking to class. Not only are they just the thing to have this year, they actually are pretty neat and have some good uses. When you're working out and you don't want to be bothered with all the chords from regular headphones and have no place to put your phone, or when you need to charge your phone, but also want to listen to music or watch a video and you have to pick which one is more important.

Electric Scooter

If you say the word "bird" or "lime" around any ASU student, they will NOT know what you're talking about. These electric scooters are everywhere and they're probably every student's favorite way of getting to class. Yes, they're fun, but not when you ride 10 in one day and then check your bank account. Getting an ASU student their own electric scooter is the perfect gift and would probably save them a lot of money in the future.

Hydro Flask

Being from the East Coast, when someone mentioned a hydro flask the first time I came to Arizona, I looked at them like they had four heads. I had no idea what a hydro flask was, I was only familiar with a Yeti. However, Hydro flasks are a very Arizona thing. Student's love to customize them with stickers, so that could be another additional gift to go along with it. These water bottles really do keep your water freezing cold for hours, which is especially useful when you're walking to class in 112-degree weather and really need a sip of water. They come in so many colors and sizes too.

Bluetooth Speaker

There is nothing more disappointing than when you want to go hang out with some friends in their dorm and you can hear nothing but the air conditioner. A Bluetooth speaker is a great way to add something else to a dorm room get together.

Money

When all else fails, you can never go wrong with a big stack of cash. Pretty much all college student's are broke so a little bit goes a loooong way this holiday season.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
