What to get the lacrosse player in your life.

With Christmas quickly approaching, everybody is left wondering what to get the people in their lives.

From the time we were just a few years old, we were asked what we wanted for Christmas. We willing wrote our list of toys and eagerly sent it off to Santa. These days, it is not any different. Except that the gifts we ask for have changed. However, we are also often the ones asking what other people want. We all know the struggle of trying to find the perfect gift for our best friend, our significant other, or our sibling. Well, if you happen to be looking for gift ideas for a lacrosse player, look no further.

1. Mid Calves

Yeah, we know we already have about 20 pairs, but another six really couldn't hurt. After all, we don't just wear them to practice or games, they become our wear everywhere socks.

2. Nike Headbands

We all know the struggle of having our hair flying everywhere while we're at practice or in the middle of a game, so a headband is totally practical. Plus, they look good so why not?

3. Hair ties (big and small)

No matter how many you have, you always end up losing them all. Especially the small ones that are SO good for tying the ends of our braids!!

4. Athletic shorts

Another thing that no matter how many pairs we own, we can always use more. You have to admit, we wear them just as often as we wear our mid calves.

5. Slides

There's nothing better than taking your cleats and socks off after a long practice or game...or is there? The feeling of sliding your feet into these shoes might come close. The squishier the better.

6. Leggings

Seriously though, we love our leggings. When we're practicing in the freezing cold weather, we'll have you to thank for keeping us warm.

7. Food

We're always hungry so food is never a bad idea. These granola bars happen to be my pregame go-to, and I'm sure every athlete has their own.

8. Water Bottles

We take hydration very seriously. You will probably never see us without a water bottle or two close at hand. We'll thank you in advance for supporting our hydration habit.

9. Gatorade

The perfect way to refuel before, during, or after a game, and the one thing we don't ever want to buy for ourselves. Thanks, again for supporting our hydration habit.

Basically everything on this list we already have, but could always use (and always want) more. So if you're wondering what to get the lacrosse player in your life, it's not that hard. It doesn't have to be anything out of the box, just something that supports our love of the game. Your constant support and cheering is implied.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
