With the holiday season quickly approaching, things are about to get hectic. Between shopping, traveling, and family gatherings, the last thing we all need is to be stumped on what to get our loved ones. Here is a list of a couple of reasonable gifts that most college students would accept with open arms:

1. Socks

Whether they are fuzzy or regular, it never seems like college students have enough socks. This could be due to the lack of laundry doing.


2. Coffee

We drink a lot of coffee in college. And coffee isn't always cheap. This is a gift that we can guarantee will be put to good use when we return to school after break.

3. Subscriptions

Whether it is a magazine, gift box or gym membership, subscriptions are a great gift because they keep on giving. This is a gift that extends over time and won't be used all at once.

4. Blankets

Blankets are always accepted, especially for those of us who attend schools in cold-weather states. Every time we curl up with that new cozy throw we will think of the person who gave it to us.


5. Candles (or a Scentsy for those in dorms)

Things get...smelly in college. Candles and Scentsys are a great way for college kids to unwind and relax. Gift a holiday scented candle to ensure the college kid in your life stays in the merry spirit all through January.

6. Gift cards

Okay, so you don't trust us with your cold hard cash. Gift cards are a great way to ensure college students are eating full meals and also getting things that they need.

7. Books

Informative books are great for college students. Also look for how-to's or cook books to gift.

8. Organizational tools

Usually in college we are living in pretty tight spaces. Tools for organization are always helpful and put to great use.

9. Portable phone charger or charging case

Give this gift and your college student will never have an excuse for not answering the phone again.

10. A massage

The ultimate form of relaxation would be more than happily accepted by any college student.

11. Groupons

Giving Groupons can give a college student anything from a nice dinner to a workout package. Groupons are great because they are specific and can be bought based on geographic location.

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.
