Holy crap! December flew by! With Hanukkah already starting and Christmas just a week away, I know I'm not the only person who's feeling the holiday shopping pressure. So here is a list of a few stocking stuffer gifts you can get any creative person in your life.

1. Journals

You're supposed to write every single day. So why not make it fashionable? This journal from Barnes and Noble has a wanderlust vibe that I can appreciate. But there are thousands of other styles that can best suit their personality.

2. Pens

You can only get so creative without a trusty pen or pencil around. So not own tools to further spark your creativity? This unicorn pen from Barnes and Noble could help put a little extra magic in your work.

3. Tequila Mockingbird

If Hemingway can be a raging alcoholic and one of the greatest literary authors of all time then why can't I? (In all seriousness, please drink in moderation.)

4. LEGO Architecture

Want to play with LEGO's while also still wanting to seem like an adult? Your prayers have been answered with LEGO's Architecture series featuring dozens of figures including the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building, the London cityscape, and more.

5. Coloring Books

Slide over kids! This coloring book is for the adults. Studies have found that swearing is a great stress reliever, so this book is when words aren't necessarily needed.

6. Candles

Candles are great for setting the creative mood. These homesick candles are perfect if you're shopping for someone who may want a little reminder of home from time to time.

7. Vinyl

I don't think anyone has ever been upset because they got a vinyl album of their favorite artist. Even if you don't have a record player, vinyl is just a cool relic to have around. You can buy them new or used from Barnes and Noble or go on an adventure to your local record store.

8. Biographies

Because sometimes it's nice to know that you're not the only person who's been at rock bottom.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
