College is the natural next step for many graduating high school students. According to Best Colleges, in 2022 there were 17.9 million students enrolled in degree-granting colleges and universities in the United States. Many other students began their college careers in the fall 2023 semester, joining the ranks of people working toward their degrees.
Holiday gifts that aim to meet the needs and interests of recipients can ensure presents will be enjoyed and utilized. Modern college students likely can use a few things to simplify life on campus.
Laptop or tablet
Gone are the days when students primarily utilize pen and paper for school assignments. Students are often introduced to tablets and other digital devices to complete assignments and take notes as early as elementary school. This reliance on paperless communication continues at the high
Parking pass
Although freshmen may be restricted from bringing cars to campus unless they are commuter students, sophomores and upperclassmen may be able to park in campus lots. Parking typically is an extra cost for students, meaning friends or relatives can gift the cost of annual parking passes to the college students in their lives.
Dorm gear
College students who opt to live in campus housing often want to make their dorm rooms a home away from home. They will need to outfit these tight quarters with items that won t take up too much space. Small pod-type coffee pots, compact microwaves, mini fridges, under-bed storage shelving, area rugs, cozy comforters, and bathroom essentials can make college kids dorm rooms feel more like home.
Future Plans: to attend UND
As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A construction worker
Favorite Artist or Song: White Horse/Chris Stapleton
Favorite Movie or Book: Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith
Favorite High School Moment:
Scoring 41 points in Edmore

school and university level. Most, if not all, assignments are posted online and then completed and submitted through various portals or cloud services. Therefore, college students will require a laptop or high functioning tablet with the right processing speed and memory capacity to handle the demand.
Colleges utilize different programs for paying for meal plans and incidentals purchased on campus. This likely involves funds linked to a proprietary card that functions similarly to a debit or credit card. Savvy gift givers can deposit funds into students accounts so that they ll have a little extra spending money to put toward books or that mocha latte at the campus coffee shop.
Not every moment should be spent in classrooms or residence halls. College students may want to venture away from campus, and what better way to enjoy the sights and offerings of what nearby venues have to offer than by attending various events? Gift-givers can offer tickets to art shows, music festivals, comedy club nights, amusement parks, or other events in college towns.
Attending college far from home means that students will take planes, trains or automobiles to return home for holidays and other special events. Gifting college students airline or train fare, or providing gift cards for gas station fill-ups, means students will be able to afford trips home when needed.
College students can benefit from gifts geared to the college lifestyle.

My name is Cora Badding. I am the daughter of Brandon and Sarah Badding, and my sister is Aubrey Badding. I plan to attend the University of North Dakota for speech pathology. My goal in life is to have a happy life filled with those who are close to me. Ten years from now, I hope to have a career I enjoy and have a steady income. Throughout high school, I was involved in volleyball, basketball, track and field, FBLA, choir, and National Honors Society. My favorite high school memory was all of the time I spent with friends both in school and extracurriculars. Advice that I would give to my 7th grade self would be to put in effort every year of high school and try new things.
I am Makayla Blackburn, daughter of Robert and Lea Blackburn.

During my three years at Langdon Area High School, I only ever really attended Art Club, however, outside of school I worked at Sporty’s Bar & Grill washing dishes and later waitressing. My favorite high school memory was helping decorate for prom my junior year; it was the first time I was able to garner the confidence to actually participate with my classmates and feel like I truly belonged at this school. One piece of advice I would give my 7th grade self is “you will never be able to make everyone happy.” As harsh as it sounds, I would tell her that she will always have someone upset with her decision, no matter what she does, and in the end, it won’t matter - she has nothing to worry about.

In high school, I was involved in track, cross country, the social science club, and band. My favorite high school memory is me popping out of my shell more, which helped me to get a lot of great relationships with wonderful people.

It was so much fun to play in a game that went into double overtime and win with that group of girls.

Hi, my name is Heavenly Janis, and I'm a senior this year. I have a few things to tell you that might actually surprise you. My parents are Alliey and Matthew Economy, and I am the oldest of 10 kids. When I was a young girl I always wanted to help the world and make it a better place - not just physically but mentally. A psychology major is in my view, and the college that will help me gather my career is Lake Region State College in Devils Lake, N.D. My goal in life is to be able to live out my years being happy, and successful, not just in money but in spirit, too. Where I find myself in 10 years is maybe in a life where I am able to be a parent, provide for my home, and live like there's no tomorrow. In my high school years, I've always enjoyed being a part of a team. I enjoyed volleyball my freshman year along with basketball, and as I continued, running became a part of my journey as well. Along the way I found more love for basketball than anything else, so I continued with the sport along with picking up art, FCCLA, and drama. In my free time I enjoyed working at care homes, and that really brought out the best in me as a person, sister, and friend. Overall high school has been great these past four years, and time flies like no other. The moments I enjoyed were the activities for students and just being able to hang out with my best friends. My advice to my little 7th grade self is that time flies, and the things that may bug you are the memories worth keeping - whether it be homework, friends, or the plans that you didn't want to do at first, but in the end they'll become the best things to ever happen to you. I hope you enjoy every second of it.

In high school I was involved in football, track, basketball, and hockey. For a high school career I worked at the Langdon Pool, and I have helped around the family farm with whatever I am told to do.

I didn't do any sports or anything in high school, but I have worked at Dollar General for basically half of high school. My favorite high school experience would probably be my senior homecoming, because it was technically my first year actually participating in all that, dressing up all week, going to the homecoming game, and going to the dance afterwards.

Hello, my name is Drew Trent Peterson. My family consists of my parents, Trent and Tonya, and sister Abby. My future plans are to go to Lake Region State College for precision ag.

My goals are to expand and grow the farm in any way possible. Things I was involved in throughout high school were many years of drama and speech, and in my senior year, I was on the student council. Also during my time in high school, I worked on the family farm and at Clyde Farm Service. My favorite memory in high school was watching Landon fall in a puddle of water in the school parking lot. This is my favorite memory as it was funny to watch his feet go above his head before he hit the ground. The advice I would give my 7th grade self is to probably try harder, so I don’t fall so far behind.
My name is Paige Peterson. I am currently 18 and am the daughter of Scott and Lori Peterson. I have a 7-year-old brother named Tate, and he is the funniest person I know. I have three cats: Fat Steve, Pete, and a little kitten named Bones. In the future I hope to become a pharmacy technician. I currently work at Langdon Community Drug, and I love it there. I hope to continue working for them as I study to become a pharmacy tech. As much as I love everyone and everything there, I do hope to move out of North Dakota in the future. A lot of my closest friends live out of state in Chicago and Detroit, so someday I hope to live with them instead of our brief summer visits. In high school, I was never involved in sports, but I have an appreciation for the arts. I love band class (shoutout Mr. Lindseth, you are the best teacher ever), where I play the trumpet. My favorite high school memory is hard to choose because I oddly cannot remember it, but I would have to say that this year's prom was really fun. For some reason when Pitbull is playing and the lights are dimmed, no one cares that you're the weird goth kid, and they dance with you anyways! What I wish I could have told my 7th grade self is just because you have purple hair, you are not different and weird, keep hanging out with the friends you have and don't distance yourself. School goes by so fast, but having people to power through it with makes it so much more bearable.

I worked on my family farm along with a few other local farms. I think my favorite high school memory would be when Langdon played North Star in the district basketball game and almost beat them. We were having a lot of fun in the student section, and I've never heard our gym so loud. I would tell my 7th grade self to soak it all up because it does go by really fast, go to all the ball games and activities you can go to and just have fun with it, because you are only in high school one time.
My name is Parker Rime, and I am the son of Patrick and Heather Rime. I also have two brothers, Jace and Gavin. After high school, I plan to attend Bismarck State College for agri-business.

My last favorite memory is my junior year when we won the state championship in hockey, which was the first state championship in Langdon Blades Junior Gold history. The advice I would give my 7th grade self would be to cherish the moments spent with your friends and take nothing for granted.

In high school, I was involved in National Honor Society, Pop Choir, Social Science, volleyball, basketball, and softball. My favorite high school memories are all the overnight stays during sports. The advice I would give to my 7th grade self would be to be grateful for everything and the opportunities I have had.
in the Pacific, by the way!) We filmed our school's sports events and made short highlights to post on Instagram. I think my favorite high school memory was when me and a couple of friends used Minecraft to create a video for our U.S History project, and our teacher gave us BONUS POINTS because he thought we animated it and didn't realize we were just playing a game. Advice I would give my 7th grade self is to not stress out too much about school work and just enjoy school while it lasts because time flies.
Hello, my name is Cole Welsh. I am the son of Steph and Kevin Welsh, and I have two brothers, Grant and Tucker, and one sister, Ally. I plan to attend the University of North Dakota for physical therapy and hopefully join a bowling league and maybe dabble in some intramural sports. My goal in life is to be successful financially through my illustrious bowling career, but if that doesn’t pan out, my everyday job, and be successful emotionally through friends, family, and bowling as probably an average joe since I’m not that good at bowling. I, Cole Welsh, strive to be the next Big Lebowski. In high school I was involved in football, baseball, and student council all four years. Those three activities gave me countless memories and taught me lessons I can use all throughout my life. For me high school has been an amazing experience, and if I could give my 7th grade self any advice it would be to enjoy every moment of it - it flies by - and to probably drink more milk and be less injury prone.
Hello, my name is Landon Welsh. My parents are Dave and Stacey Welsh. I have a brother named Andrew, a sister named Kayla, and a half-brother named Dalton. For college I plan to attend UND to study accounting. In 10 years I want to have a successful career in accounting, hopefully with the job I'm at right now, Choice Bank. I also want to be married and have a family, along with at least one dog. I also want a lot of LEGOs and a room to store all of them on shelves. I was involved in Science Olympiad from 7th grade all the way until the end of my high school career. I was also in drama every year of my high school years. My favorite high school memory would probably be when I slipped on water in the high school parking lot and fell into the water; this is my favorite memory because I had a bunch of different pictures of Jesus in my wallet and thought if I ran fast enough, I could run on water. It did not work. My advice that I would give my 7th grade self is to not worry as much, get good grades but don't worry if you mess up on something - it's ok to mess up, you learn from your mistakes. I have definitely learned from my mistakes.
