I don't know about you, but I love giving. i am dead serious. i love when Christmas comes around because I love to make things for other people. When your in college, you kind of have to get presents for your roommates, and anyone else who has put up with your shit for the past four months. Here is my advice for finding the perfect Christmas presents for those on your college Christmas list! Pinterest itPinterest has the best ideas for giving group gifts. You can literally give something like food you made from a recipe off of Pinterest, it would be super quick, cheap, and easy. Plus you can knock out everyone on your list! Keep your list shortYou don't have a lot of money, I know, its hard to admit, but thats okay. Keep your list to your really close friends, who you think have been their for you from the beginning (by beginning I mean when you moved in in August.) Keep it cheapLets review again, your B.R.O.K.E. that means, if you buy each of your 10 friends on your list a $20 gift, you are down (insert math here) amount of money. That means, you have (insert math here) left in your bank account. That means you can go out (insert math here) amounts of time (the answer will most likely be somewhere between 0 and 0 times before you go broke . Plan when to give giftsThis way, you can go home, and work on your presents. Especially if your like me, you are basically down a creek without a paddle because you don't have a car on campus, and you can't ask your roommate to drive you to the store so you can buy her Christmas present. That defeats the WHOLE purpose of surprises. Black Friday itShits cheap. Nuff said. Be meaningfulHonestly, your friends will like it better if you give them something from the heart. Unless its food. Then they'll love you no matter what. Give something they can useYou live in a shoebox in college. What the hell would your friend do with a cardboard cutout of Louis from One Direction? Throw it in the trash because they have no room in their dorm and their roommate hates one direction, so think about it before you go out and buy something ridiculous like that for them for Christmas. learn about themSeriously. Like, what happens if you think they are in love with Justin Bieber so you get them like his new C.D. Then you find out they think he's really dumb and can't stand his music? Well then there goes $15 bucks. Get on social media, thats what its for! Love,
Meredith
