10 Things College Students Actually Want For Christmas

Around the holiday's, parents and family members always want a list of things us college students are looking to receive. And if we don't tell them exactly what we want, we might end up with present's like that old Christmas mug we got from Aunt Sally and have never used, and that hot pink knitted sweater we only wear whenever you go to grandma's house. In order to avoid these awkward gift giving encounters, here is a list of things we might actually want for Christmas this year!

1. "More mac n cheese cups"- Madison Christian (Merrimack College) Breakfast, lunch, and dinner of champions.

2. "An umbrella"- Natalie Lafleur- (University of Rhode Island) I relate to this on a spiritual level. A few weeks ago my roommate and I had to go out during a downpour and neither of us had an umbrella. Not a good night.

3. "Funds to study abroad"- Jill Hissick (Merrimack College)

4. "Some light reading"- Alex LeBlanc (Salve Regina University) The college workload can't stop a true bookworm.

5. "A disco light"- Sylvan Huynh (Suffolk University) I asked Sylvan why, but did not get an explanation. I guess this one will have to be left up to the imagination.

6. "Warm clothes coffee coffee money warm clothes"- Kelly Dankese (Umass Lowell) I think this one speaks for itself.

7. "Winter clothes"- Kat Roberts (Merrimack College) Fun fact: Kat is from California, and this is her first winter in New England!!

8. "Gift cards"- Natalie Lafleur (University of Rhode Island) Anything to not have to pay with real money, am I right?

9. "A case of water"- Grace Webb and Paula Au (University of Rhode Island) For real. I go through a case of water a week. It's exhausting.

10. "$$$"- Kayla Goldman (Merrimack College) That is all.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
