Everyone wants to find the "perfect" gift for someone. And it seems like an impossible task. It can be a lot easier than you think, though. The three-part gift set is not only a way to come up with a personal gift for anyone, but it is also something that they will undoubtedly LOVE.

The first part is a comical gift. This doesn't have to serve as anything other than to get a rise out of the recipient. It is a way of showing that you had this person and their sense of humor in mind while getting the gift. Some comical gift ideas include a mug with Tina Belcher on it, a cookbook by Snoop Dogg, a CD of their least favorite band, or a shirt that has Donald Trump's face on it. It can be random and make very little sense, but as long as the recipient understands it, they should get a kick out of it.

The next part is a useful gift. This should be something that the recipient would be able to use often or has been in need of for a while. This shows the practicality of your gift giving. They won't hate it because they literally need this in their life. Some ideas include an electric razor they've been thinking of buying, a wallet that isn't held together by duct tape, durable running socks, or a new phone charger with an extra long cord. This part of the gift doesn't have to be "fun" or "cute", it just needs to be useful to the recipient.

The last part is a from-the-heart gift. This one might take the most time coming up with. It is the most personal and it should say to the recipient that you put a lot of effort in to their gift. It can be as simple as a framed picture of you two, or it could be a tie blanket with their favorite sports team logo on the pattern. Whatever this one is should be unique to the recipient and have a personal meaning behind it. It will really speak to the recipient and say that you really care.

When all three parts are put together, you have a perfect gift set that anybody would absolutely love. If you're stumped for the holidays, don't stress and try giving this a shot. You may find that shopping this holiday season is a little easier than you thought.

Gift set examples:

For Dad: a mug that says "This is what an awesome dad looks like", an Otterbox phone case, a framed family photo

For Mom: a pajama shirt that says "Eggnog made me do it", new oven mitts, a children's book she used to read to you with a note written in it from you

For a Best Friend: ugly reindeer slippers, a scratch off map of the United States, matching heart necklaces

For a Boyfriend: underwear that says "Property of ____", a set of golf tees, his favorite movie trilogy on Blu Ray

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.
