10 Gifts You Should Definitely NOT Get Your Boyfriend For Christmas
Roberto Nickson

Black Friday is rapidly approaching. This is the perfect time to ponder on what in the world to get your man for Christmas. If you're anything like me, you know the struggle is real when shopping for your guy.

As I browsed through the numerous Christmas gift ideas, I came across some that left me dumbfounded. I cringed at the sight of some of these gifts and questioned who actually thought they'd make great Christmas presents.

One thing is for sure, I took a mental note of what not to get my man for Christmas and maybe you should do the same.

Here are 10 gifts NOT to get your man for Christmas:

1. Distance bracelets

Just don't do it. No one is going to ask you if your boyfriend has one too. Stop being so extra. Don't pressure him into wearing a bracelet he probably doesn't care for. Plus, I bet it looks gaudy with your outfit. If you want to get a matching gift for you and your guy, surely you can do better than this.

2. Picture frame

Seriously? You couldn't just give this as an anniversary gift? I'm all for handmade gifts, but save this idea for another time. You can be more creative and personal for Christmas.

3. Personalized underwear

I don't need to get you a pair of boxers saying that you're mine to prove that you're mine. We'd have bigger fish to fry if a woman was even able to read your boxers.

4. Monogrammed anything

Don't even think about it. That is all.

5. Personalized coffee mug

Don't be cheap. We all know that you can go to the Dollar Tree store and buy mugs and then decorate them with Sharpie markers and bake them in the oven. Think more outside of the box.

6. Any bathroom product whatsoever

Do you really think your guy wants to be showered with shower gel and lotion? No, of course not. Don't get him anything grooming related. This gift could have different connotations for him, too. He may think you're questioning his hygiene habits...just saying.

7. DIY memory jar

Again, don't you dare give this as a Christmas gift. Save it for an anniversary present or something else. Think about his hobbies and interests and go from there.

8. Coupon book

Don't be cheap. You may be able to get away with this being a stocking stuffer. However, don't resort to it as your grand gift. You can put more thought into it.

9. Music

Chances are, if he really wanted to listen to a song or album, he would've already streamed it for free or has a subscription. He'll use Spotify or Apple music. Now, there are exceptions to this. If you want to get him concert tickets, that's a completely different story. I'm sure he'll be stoked about that.

10. Movies

Again, don't do it. He probably already has Hulu, Amazon, or Netflix to stream movies. He may even already have it on DVD too. I suggest you use your noggin a little more.

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.
