Have you waited until the last minute to go Christmas shopping? Are you panicking because you have no ideas? Do you really feel like your mom deserves a great gift? Have no fear, because here is a list of great last-minute gift suggestions for one of the most important people in your life.

1. Candles/decorative candle holders


Candles are always a good option, and Yankee Candle has a lot of great Christmas scents and holders and toppers.


2. Cute kitchen towels, pot holders, etc.

You can buy these from almost any store, and they help decorate for the holidays!

3. A new coffee mug


Most moms rely on their coffee, and every coffee drinker loves a cute new cup.

4. Winter accessories

Scarves, gloves, hats: everyone loves new cozy accessories. The North Face has some great sets that are cute and super toasty.


5. Gift card to her favorite store

Your mom deserves to be treated to a little shopping spree of her own. If she's not big on shopping, you can get her one for Starbucks, iTunes, or her favorite restaurant.

6. Lotions, shower gels, soap, etc.

These little things are great gifts that are always needed and always used. Bath & Body Works has so many great Christmas scents, and they run different sales all the way up to Christmas. So whether she loves vanilla, peppermint, cinnamon, or anything else, they most likely have it.

7. Music


If your mom is like my mom and loves music, choose a boxed set of albums from her favorite artist, or pick some new music within her favorite genre for her to listen to.

8. Blankets

Who doesn't love a good fluffy blanket? Especially as the weather gets colder, she will love a soft, warm blanket like this big one from Kohl's.

9. Sweaters


Sweaters are a perfect gift, as long as you know what size she wears. You can get her a big, over-sized one for lounging around the house, or a dressier one for work. While sweaters can run on the more expensive side, Kohl's and JCPenney almost always have good deals and sales.

10. Purses/Wallets


If your mom is very specific about the type/brand of purses she likes, I wouldn't pick this option. However, if she isn't very picky about what she wants, this can be a great choice since purses come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, making it easy to find something she would love.

11. Something homemade


While this usually isn't the go-to option, if you are crafty, you can always make a homemade gift like an ornament, photo frame, or art you've done. These gifts tend to be some of the most heartfelt, and a great choice if you're good at artsy things (unlike me). Pinterest is the place to go for these types of ideas.

The most important thing to remember is that your mom will love whatever you get her, no matter what it is. Whether it is big or small, expensive or cheap, home-made or store bought, she will think it is the greatest gift ever just because it came from you. Happy shopping and merry Christmas!

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.
