What Should You Get Your Significant Other?
freestocks.org

It is December and the time of many holiday celebrations. Many holidays in particular, such as Christmas, traditionally expect people to exchange gifts to demonstrate that they care. Though most people know that gifts are not the main purpose of the holidays, we still enjoy the feeling of receiving a gift, and, most importantly, giving a gift. So, if you are in a relationship or about to form one, you are probably wondering what you should get your significant other. Well, here are some ideas.

1. Framed Picture

If you are contemplating over the first holiday gift you will give to your significant other, then a picture is something that is simple and symbolic all in one. Most people do not have physical pictures the way they used to, so getting a picture that symbolizes your relationship bond and having it framed, shows your significant how much you care for them and the relationship as a whole.

2. Ugly Sweater

Giphy

People have turned holiday sweaters into a fad, so getting a piece of clothing that is both silly and light-hearted may be just what your significant other needs. It is an instant storyteller, and she/he will always think of you when they wear it.

3. Special Ornament

Everyone wants to decorate their tree with festive and creative arrangements, and getting an ornament that is special and meaningful for your significant other may provide them with solace. Ornaments come in all shapes and sizes, so there are a variety of options to find one suited for your significant other.

4. Chocolate & Candy

Giphy

During the holidays, many people develop a sweet tooth, so gifting your significant other with their favorite treats or holiday-themed edible arrangements may be all they ever wanted. And if you are involved with someone who is also very giving, she/he may share them with you.

5. Housewarming Gift

Giphy

When many people have housewarmings, there is always at least one thing that never made the cut. And if you know your significant other the way you should, you will know exactly what they may still want for their home. And if you share a home together, I am sure there was a constant message of "we really should get..."

6. Concert or Game

Giphy

If your significant other is really into music or sports, then getting them tickets to see their particular interest in action may be the best gift you can give them. Many people follow music and sports on tv or on their mobile devices, but nothing compares to being physically right there among others who share the same adoration as they do.

7. Jewelry 

Giphy

It would be unfair not to mention jewelry. Do not be surprised if your significant other starts playing "Santa Baby" to inspire your gift. Jewelry will forever be a thing that many people do not mind receiving, and it is something they can wear all the time. The piece of jewelry you decide on depends on the nature of your relationship. Maybe you will get her earrings, because she loves wearing earrings. Maybe you will get him a chain, because it reminds him of something. Or, maybe you will get a ring, because it is time to pop the question.

8. Holiday Card

Giphy

Nothing compares to a nice holiday card. There is a reason Hallmark does so well in the card department. People enjoy reading cards. Giving your significant other a meaningful card with a personalize message in it, can mean the world to them, especially if she/he prefers inexpensive and expressive gifts. Sometimes a card is all your significant really wants, because it reflects you. In other words, your significant other may be letting you know that "All I Want For Christmas Is You."

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
