10 Perfect Gifts For You, Your Roommate Or A Co-worker

Do you happen to be looking for an unusual but trending gift for either a friend, family member or co-worker? Or maybe yourself? Look no further! Here is an array of things you’ll want, whether you have a special occasion to buy for or not. Some of the ideas are personal items I own; others are on my list to purchase.


1. Adult Coloring Book

What could be a better remedy for calming a stressed mind? I actually have the coloring book shown here: "Animal Kingdom" by Millie Marotta. With a variety of shapes, designs and pictures, the only struggle you'll have is deciding on the page to color first and what colors you will use!

2. Cactus Garden

Proven to make your workspace livelier while decreasing stress levels, who wouldn't want a cactus in their office space or dorm room? At a reasonable price, you should consider buying one today!


3. Wooden Mind Teaser

Challenge your friends or co-workers with this wooden brain teaser. If you are feeling overwhelmed, take a break and attempt to solve this sleek wooden puzzle. Coming in different styles and mediums, the options for these brain teasers are endless.


4. Desktop Game

Bag toss or "corn hole," as we say in Nebraska, is a great gathering game for people in the office or dorm. Like the coloring book, I have this exact game on my desk at work. It's a great way to get people to converse. (Can't promise there won't be trash talk.)


5. Mighty Mug

The Mighty Mug has been designed to stay up when it should fall over. A suction cup at the bottom of the mug prevents it from tipping over and spilling all over your work and projects. With a majority of students and workers sitting daily at a desk, this product is a must!


6. Robot Tea Infuser

This little robot will be you and your tea's new best friend. Love this creative design! It has arms that allow the infuser to rest on the side of your mug after your tea has been brewed preventing messes and saving time so you don't have to find a trash. Purchase this today to brighten your best friend's day!


7. Nature Box

A new nifty way to send healthy snacks directly to a home or work address. What a creative way to tell someone congrats at work or good luck on their finals. Allowing you to set up a shipping plan, you will have many different options to make an important person's day more special.


8. Hot Cookie Cup Warmer

Sometimes you just get too busy to drink your freshly made coffee. Well, luckily, now with this cookie cup warmer, your drink won't be cooling off anytime soon. Papyrus is offering a cookie cup warmer that keeps your drinks hot. While you're on the website, be sure to check out their amazing stationery, too!

9. Personalized Phone Case

A personalized phone case is something we think about getting, but always forget. Whether it is for yourself, co-worker or your best friend, you can now create the perfect phone case with choices of shapes, quotes or even a personal photo. This is a great gift to make someone's day!

10. Decision List

The perfect passive aggressive way to get neighboring co-workers or roommates to hear you out. Also, for personal benefit, you can make a decision by writing pros and cons out on paper. Humorous yet proactive, this is a perfect addition for a desk close to you.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
