Struggling on what to get for your family and friends this coming holiday season? Low on money because you're a student? Have no fear! Here are some gift suggestions for everyone from your mother to that special someone on a student budget:

1. What: A Blanket

For who: Mom, Dad, Close Friend, Secret Santa, White Elephant

Where to get it: Target, Kohls, Walmart...Kind of anywhere honestly

Handy Tip: Instead of just buying one, try making it yourself. If you can crochet, knit, or sew, why not make a small blanket for a loved one? Or you can buy those tie blankets for an easier and quicker assembly!


2. What: An Ornament

For Who: Mom, Dad, Best Friend, Teacher,

Where to Get it: Michaels, Target, Online, Hallmark

Handy Tip: It seems elementary, but get some crafts and make an ornament. Or you can get an ornament according to their favorite movie, book, animal, etc. There are a lot of different ornament styles out there so you'll have a good amount of option


3. What: Face Masks

For Who: Stocking Stuffers!

Where to Get it: Ulta, Sephora, Target, Any makeup store

Handy Tip: Depending on what store is near you, face masks are always cheap! Not the expensive high end ones. Usually there are individual face mask packages near the cashiers. Super cheap and convenient for a stocking or gift basket!


4. What: GIFT CARDS

For Who: Literally anyone

Where to Get it: Literally anywhere

Handy Tip: This is a cliche I know, but gift cards the probably the most convenient present to give someone. Especially if it's a gift card that is registered for different places. For example, a card that can be used at different restaurants. To make it a little fancier, maybe do a gift card along with an item that relates to where the gift card is for.


5. What: A Candle + Candle Holder

For Who: Parents, Boss, Coworker, Friends,

Where to Get it: Go to Yankee Candle. That's it.

Handy Tip: There are plenty of cheap seasonal holiday Candle holders and decoratorations. And you can't go wrong with a classic scent: cinnamon.

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.
