CHRISTMAS GIFTS IDEAS

While this holiday is full of cheer and joy it comes with its' tradition of giving gifts. And as a teenager there is this in-between stage where half of teenagers have jobs and the other half doesn't. I know this first hand because some of my friends don't have jobs and usually complain about not having money.

These gift ideas will be for people in both situations.

1. Christmas Card


Even if you don't have enough money for an 'actual gift' you can always give a card to someone. I personally like writing letters inside the card tellin the person how much I appreciate them. No matter how often you see a person, it's always a good idea to tell them how much you appreciate them.

2. Gift Cards


For my readers on a budget and time limit or for those who genuinely don't know what to get someone this is a great idea. All you need to know is someone's favorite store that they like to shop at and you leave the actual shopping to them. These are also budget friendly because you control the amount of money on the card.

3. Gift Basket/Box/Jar


This gift idea is very simple and customizable. All you need is a basket, box or jar to fill with your giftee's favorite things! I filled up a mason jar with a variety of snack size candies.

Hopefully this was somewhat helpful!

Hope you enjoyed these Gift Ideas!
Merry almost-Christmas!!! 16 more days....

Part Five: Pursuit of Scholarships

Hello Readers! It is that time again where I update you on college and how the overall process is going. So far I have submitted 3 applications to universities and colleges. All of the ones i have submitted so far are in-state, I am planning on applying to few more in and out of state just to have a variety of viable options. As I have come to narrow down the list of colleges and universities I want to apply to, all things considered, it is not by any means an easy decision. There are thousands of universities within the United States. An overwhelming thing to think about when you are thinking  about continuing your education beyond high school and trying to find your perfect fit. Now I would like to ask for your help. I have found a scholarship that is willing to award $10,000 scholarship to a high school senior with a well written essay. Unfortunately there is a catch, each applicant must get a significant amount of recommendations to be one of the 500 people who's essays are...

Part Six: College Acceptances & Rejections

Image
So as of now I have been accepted. And rejected from colleges and universities. I applied to 8 schools; Emerson College, Syracuse University, Ithaca College, Hofstra University, Kutztown University, Shippensburg University, Temple University and Lebanon Valley College. I got accepted to all except for Syracuse University. Sadly I was rejected but I see it as a sign that I wasn't supposed to go there. But I also knew when applying that it was a reach school. A reach school meaning that I wasn't sure that I would get into it but there was still a chance. As I am reviewing my acceptances I am so proud of myself. I am trying not sound self absorbed but I always knew college was the end game and its always been one of my goals. During this college process, I have been pretty much on my own. I went to my school counselor here and there for simple questions but I applied on my own and did all the research on my own. And I got accepted (and rejected) all on my own, with the su...

Fear of Failure

I am a freshly graduated high school student. I am 18 years old and I am scared. In a matter of months, I will be moving 200 miles away for college. I will be in a new environment with new people in a new town. Now, I am not scared because I'm moving and I'm not scared of meeting new people, I'm scared of failing. It is the fear of failing that I'm scared of. I've always dreamed of becoming successful and having money to be able to provide for my family. Now that I'm at this stage in life, I find myself overthinking every little detail about my future and every outcome of every scenario is horrible. I find myself second guessing my career path and if I'm truly going to suceed. I am planning on studying journalism. Writing is something I've always enjoyed doing. In elementary school I started a newsletter (5th grade). And I carried on this desire into middle school  (7th grade) where there would be biweekly distribution of a newsletter to all of...
