The holiday season is a time to appreciate the people around you. This includes the people you live with! In college, your roommates are like a second family to you take the time to get them a little something special this holiday season!

Go to Walmart or a dollar store and pick out an adorable coffee mug. Then, fill it with either hot chocolate or a Starbucks gift card! You never can go wrong with coffee or chocolate!

Homemade canvas

If you're artistic enough to do this take the time to paint your roommate a nice canvas! It can have a nice quote or even just a cute picture on it. My favorite friend quote is "Best friends are like stars, you don't always see them, but they're always there." It's something that your roommate can put up in her room and always remember how you gave it to her!

Mason jars are your best friend

Mason jars only cost like a dollar! Take one a fill it up with some of your roommate's favorite goodies! Face masks, nail polish, bath bombs, lotion, hand sanitizer, gum, chocolate and so much more!! Your options aren't limited!

Healthy stress relievers

Going home for the holidays can be stressful get your roommate something to relieve the stress. A nice adult coloring book and color pencils for those times where she, needs to sit down and take a break. These color books are super cheap and relieve a lot of stress. Or if you're really feeling generous a certificate for a mani/pedi or a massage to really relieve stress and so she can treat herself!

Socks!!!

When people say they need socks they really mean it. Especially in college our socks go missing or the dryer eats them. No one really knows but the key to a girl's heart is a pair of fuzzy socks she can wear to class or even to lounge around in. You can find them anywhere these days, but the best place is the dollar section in Target!

If you and your roommate are old enough to drink this present is right for you! Take a pair of fuzzy socks because who doesn't love those and fill them with mini bottles of your roommate's favorite wine and chocolate! For those stressful times when your roommate needs a break.

I hope these ideas help you find something to give your amazing roommates this holiday season! If not, Pinterest is your best friend! There are so many ideas out there for presents to give anyone and some are cheaper than others.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.
