It's that wonderful time of the year where we all put together gift ideas and exchange what to get. As the big day comes creeping around the corner, I figured it would be a great idea to write an article about 15 last minute gifts to get college students. And by last minute, I mean last minute.

1. Fuzzy Socks

This is for the girls. Those suckers could be from the $3 section in Target or from Five Below. We aren't hard to please. If they're soft, warm and comfy, we'll be thankful

2. Giftcards




You were all once college students, you know we're broke and you know there are plenty of options on our campuses. A $10 gift card to Starbucks goes a long way for us and saving money.


3. Movies


Sometimes we need break from studying and watching a movie is a good way to keep us busy. Some of us actually study better with this kind of noise in the background. Any movie works, we don't expect much.


4. Sports Gear


If your college student goes to a college campus near a big city where there are sporting events, sports gear doesn't hurt. It could be the university school spirit or a professional's team. Sports gear is sports gear.


5. Lotion


Our skin gets so dry when we walk on campus in the winter, lotion helps us out a ton.


6. Candles

Lighting candles is relaxing and something that makes our living spaces smell 10 times nicer than it originally does. These are something you just can't go wrong with.


7. Coffee Pods

When we go through our phases of intense studying in the comfort of our own homes, making a quick trip to Starbucks isn't something that we do. K-Cups are usually a must have for college students.


8. Coffee Mugs


Can't have K-Cups without coffee mugs!


9. School Supplies


With the new semester around the corner, that means new everything. New pencils, pens, binders, and notebooks. That's something that for sure doesn't come around cheap and make for great stocking stuffers.


10. Winter Gear


Walking an entire mile across campus in 10-degree weather really isn't the greatest thing in the world. So to add on to great stocking stuffers, gloves, hats and scarves wouldn't hurt.


11. Hand Warmers

OUR HANDS GET COLD. EVEN WITH GLOVES ON.


12. Apartment Gear


I have a minor pillow obsession and you can never go wrong with plates.


13. Batteries


Those suckers are expensive for us broke college students. We go through them a lot. For our calculators, our game controllers, and out remotes. A college student could never have too many batteries.


14. Sports Gear


Believe it or not some college students actually work out.


15. Money

Or if it's super last minute and you still have no clue what to get for the college student you're shopping for, just be safe and write them a check or hand them a $20. That can go towards groceries or even filling up our gas tanks.

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.
