10 Holiday Gifts Every College Student Wants

Christmas is going to be here before you know it, so you'd better start planning out what to ask for! Here are some gifts that every college student would be glad to receive:

1. A Gas Card

Everyone knows that gas is expensive. A gas card is a great, practical gift that any college student would be excited to open.

2. Food

This is an easy one. College students will love any food that they're given, be it store-bought or home-made. From chips to ramen to cookies, food is the perfect gift. (Make it homemade food if you want to kick it up a notch)

3. Socks

Yes, we have crossed over into the territory of wanting socks for Christmas. Any student would be happy with a pair of warm, fuzzy, comfy winter socks,

4. A Keurig

Another easy one. All college students love coffee and a Keurig is cheaper than constant coffee runs.

5. A Bluetooth Speaker

Speakers don't necessarily have to be expensive. Whether you want to go high end or lower end, you can find a great speaker for a good price.

6. A Bike

This is on the more expensive side of things, but you can always check out used bikes as well. A bike makes it easy for college students to get around quickly and cheaply.

7. Gift cards to Starbucks & Chipotle

If you know college kids, you know that they love Starbucks and Chipotle. They'll appreciate gift cards for either store!

8. A Kindle

Kindle's are great gifts for those with reading intensive majors. You can even find textbooks on the Kindle now. This gift will pay for itself!

9. A Subscription to Netflix

Pretty much every college student has a Netflix subscription. It provides hours of procrastination, er, enjoyment for students!

10. An Interview Outfit

Clothes are expensive! College students will appreciate a good outfit to wear on job and internship interviews.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
