Holiday Gift Guide For College Students

The holidays are here! As a college student, you are probably slightly broke and have a very minimal budget. Even with a tight budget, you can still get quality gifts for the ones you love.

Below is a list of some ideas to get some of the people who matter most in your life. That small budget can still provide some great gifts during the hectic holiday season.

Mom: Make mom something. Moms love those sentimental gifts. When you were younger, you used to make her pasta bracelets and paintings. You can paint her some wine glasses or make a jewelry box.

Dad: Dads are all about jokes. Get him something that he’ll find funny. Don’t forget a goofy card. I recommend ones that sing.

Brother: If you brother likes cars, take him to a car show. If your brother likes movies, take him to the movies. There are many options that you can do for your brother depending on his likes. This is a great way to spend time with him without spending a ton of money.

Sister: Get your sister some cute clothes or jewelry. You don’t have to spend crazy amounts on that type of stuff if you go to Forever 21 or order off of Amazon.

Girl Best Friend: Have any inside jokes? I think gag presents are great. Get something that only you and your friend will understand.

Guy Best Friend: If your guy best friend is a drinker, get him his favorite alcohol. If you feel crafty, decorate it so he can keep it on his shelf.

Grandma: Cook something with your grandmother. If she makes chocolate chip cookies, spend time in the kitchen with her. It’s a great way to bond, and it won’t cost anything!

Grandpa: If your grandpa likes fishing, take him on a fishing trip. I know the weather is chilly, but there are some fish that are caught in the winter. Those memories will be better than any gift money can buy.

Boyfriend: If your boyfriend is a sports lover, get him something that is from his favorite team. Maybe a sweatshirt or a baseball cap. The possibilities are endless when it comes to sports merchandise.

Girlfriend: What does your girlfriend like? If she likes clothing, maybe get her something from her favorite store.

Professor: Feel the need to buy your professor a present? Well, if you feel inclined to do so, why not buy him or her a calendar for the next year? That’s a practical gift they can use all year long, and it won’t break the bank.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
