It is officially graduation season! That means caps, gowns, diplomas, BBQs, and lots of proud family and friends. That also means it is the season of gifting those grads with something to congratulate them on all of their hard work, and often help prepare them for the next steps they take. I am going to be shopping for a graduate in my family, and I couldn’t be happier. My younger sister is graduating from high school, and heading to my alma mater for college! Now I’ve got to figure out what the perfect gift for the grad in my life is, and hopefully I can help you too!  

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past few months, you probably are aware that it is back-to-school season again. As college students prepare to say goodbye to their parents, and high schoolers dread the upcoming coursework, I figured that some students may be a little nervous about what awaits them in and out of the classroom. I know that I am!
