Christmas is almost here, and with Christmas comes final season for already exhausted college students. With exam after quiz after paper after presentation as close as the end may seem to others, it always seems just out of reach for college students. And there are a few things these tired college students would appreciate for Christmas.

1. Heated blanket

Even if you crank the heat in dorms, there will be times where your room feels freezing. Help aid a tired college student's next comfortable nap by gifting them one of these this holiday season.

2. Bizzy Espresso Shots

From personal experience, coffee is one of the only things that gets college students through finals season. But sometimes you need a little something more. And Bizzy Espresso Shots are just the thing. Two shots of espresso packaged in a cute little bottle, the espresso shots work almost immediately and are effective for hours.

3. A pair of fuzzy pajama pants

Studying, and napping certainly, is much easier when you're comfortable. And pajama pants are the ultimate comfy clothing option. Bonus points if they're fuzzy.

4. Memory foam pillow

These pillows are like heaven. They offer the best support and comfort at the same time. But they are fairly expensive, and college students are fairly broke.

5. Cute coffee mug

Fun fact, you can mix those espresso shots in with regular coffee for an extra kick. And for some reason drinking coffee is, even more, fun in a fun mug. Help us wake up and enjoy it, give us a cute lil' coffee mug.

6. Dry shampoo

Showers are hard. And they take time. College students don't have tons of extra time, but we still want to look like a functioning human. And dry shampoo helps us meet in the middle on this issue.

7. K-cup pods

Okay, so maybe there is a theme of coffee on this list. But coffee is a big part of college life--especially for tired college students (aka every college student). And we can't really afford to buy a coffee every day, but I can guarantee that we either have a Keurig machine or know someone with one. Help us save money and our sanity by giving a few K-Cup pods in our stocking this year.

8. Melatonin

Melatonin is natural and helpful when it comes to falling asleep. As tired as we are, falling asleep can be one of the hardest things to remedy this. Thinking about quizzes and tests keeps us up at night. Sometimes we just need a little help.

9. A fuzzy blanket

This is different from a heated blanket, and the difference is very important. This blanket is for the days when your heater does decide to work. Naps are just ten times better with a fuzzy blanket.

10. Flannel sheets


These are a lifesaver in the winter. Although they make getting out of bed even harder in the morning, the toasty wonderfulness that they bring while sleeping makes it worth it.

11. Soup

It keeps us warm and also helps one fall asleep at night (or during the day. Honestly, you cannot go wrong with food of any sort.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
