While every year brings new products that many students want, there are a few things that specifically ASU students want to find under their tree.

Gifts That Every ASU Student Wants This Year

torange.biz

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
