If there's one thing I've learned since coming to college, it's that nothing is more exciting than getting an email from the post office informing you that you have a package. Another thing that I've known for a while now is that I have an unhealthy obsession with beauty products. Look good, feel good, am I right? Luckily there's a way to feed your beauty obsession, and guarantee you get a package once a month. It's like you're getting a gift every month! Even if you sent it to yourself.

1. Ipsy

Subscribing to Ipsy gets you a glam bag and five deluxe samples or full sized beauty products for only $10 a month. It's enough to try new things and feel pretty without breaking the bank.

2. Julep Maven

Perfect for the nail polish lovers, Julep has a monthly beauty box catered to you specifically. After taking a quiz you are put into a style of box you will receive every month, including different nail polishes and beauty products. For $20 a month, you'll always have new colors to try out and keep your nails looking great.

3. Play! by Sephora

For all the Sephora lovers, this is a must have. Each box includes five deluxe samples and a super cute bag, along with a Play Pass which gets you free tips in store and 50 extra Beauty Insider points with any purchase, all for only $10 a month. While it does have a wait list, it's worth the wait, and if you get a coveted spot, don't pass it up!

4. Birch Box

Subscribing to Birch Box gets you a monthly box filled with makeup, skincare, and haircare samples. You can subscribe for $10 monthly or buy a year for $110 (a free month? Count me in). Boxes are personalized for you and allow you to discover the best new products.

5. FabFitFun

This one is a little pricier, at $49.99 four times a year, but each seasonal gift box includes full size, premium beauty, fashion, fitness, and wellness products. If you're looking for more than just beauty, this one's for you!

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.

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.
