The most wonderful time of the year is quickly approaching us. Thanksgiving and Black Friday has already passed so just think Christmas is next! It's the time of the year where everyone loves to give and no matter who you are we all like to receive.

For college students this means no homework, sleeping in late and taking as many naps as we want, eating all of our favorite Christmas food, cuddling up by the fire in our fuzzy socks and warm blankets and most of all getting those presents we've been waiting for!

So if you're buying for a college student and just don't know what to get here are 13 Christmas gifts all college students would love to receive this Christmas.

1. Money

I can promise you no matter the college student they will love to get money. Whether it goes toward food, shopping, a movie night or paying bills they will be thankful for it.

2. Gift Cards

If you think money isn't enough find out their favorite places to go and get them gift cards. You can't go wrong with food, gas or shopping gift cards.

3. Food

College students are at that point in the semester where their over can food and frozen dinners. Groceries or even food gift cards would be appreciated.

4. Warm clothes

Warm winter clothes is a must when you're walking from one building to the other in the snow.

5. Shoes

All college students do a ton of walking everyday, so cute and comfortable shoes is a nice touch to the Christmas list.

6. Apartment stuff

Nothing is as exciting as having your own place and being able to decorate it however you want. Being on a college budget not many students have the money to my all the decor they want. So any rugs, pictures, pillows or furniture would be an awesome way to go.

7. A pet

Even though college students are busy a pet is still a great companion. I mean pets can help with depression and improve students day to day activities.

8. Comfy blankets

We all love those cozy blankets to cuddle up with on the days we have nothing at all to do.

9. Keurig w/ coffee

Every college student needs some type of pick me up for those 8am classes. And what better way than a quick and mess free cup of coffee from their Keurig.

10. Concert tickets

There are always concerts, shows, games or even plays that every college student wants to go to. So a ticket to their favorite game or artist is just the way to go.

11. Cookbooks

When you live on you're own you don't have those meal plans for school dinners. So a nice cookbook or two for easy dinners is a great thoughtful gift.

12. Candle/wax warmers w/ the wax

Candles are nice but not always allowed in dorms or a a cute wax warmer with the perfect scents is a gift any college student would be glad to have.

13. Pay for school loans

If all else fails money, money, money and more money to pay off those students loans. This gift is probably the one gift every college student with a loan out will be jumping up and down about.

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.
