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.

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
