Happy Cyber Monday! With Christmas right around the corner, everyone is hustling to get their shopping finished. If that includes you, you're not alone. That's also what this wonderful day is for. Cyber Monday is the Black Friday of Internet shopping, where shoppers can bargain from the comfort of their homes. Every website made for shopping will be having huge sales throughout the day. Hopefully, you will be partaking in today's online events. There is more to the Internet than Walmart and Target, though. If you need a little guidance, I'm here to help! There are MANY websites online that can give you gift ideas for everyone on your list, including the athletes, geeks, chefs, campers, book worms and "Dads" (the people who seem to have everything). Let's get to it!

ThinkGeek.com

This website is all about nerds. It is the ultimate fandom paradise. You'll find gifts for every nerd fandom: Doctor Who, Star Wars, Minecraft, Lord Of The Rings, Marvel, My Little Pony, and The Big Bang Theory just to name a few. There are simply nerdy presents available, too. The site's mascot, Timmy the monkey, will come with your gift as a sticker, making the gift all the more special.

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.
