1. Loungewear.

As college students we have to study. And most of our studying is done for long periods of time. Comfort is key. Plus, wearing sweatpants to class is no longer frowned upon.

2. Snacks, Snacks, and More Snacks.

Seriously can't emphasize this one enough. We LOVE to snack. This also goes back to the long hours of studying, it usually involves snacking.

3. Gas and Grocery Cards.

Let's be honest, we don't make that much if anything at all. These would help us more than you know. and if you don't send us snacks then we can at least go get our own!

4. Restaurant Gift Cards.

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE gets tired of eating in our dining facilities on campus. We love to go out, but we don't necessarily have the funds to do so. If you don't know what restaurants there are near us, just ask. We'd be happy to tell you all the places we can't afford to eat at.

5. For the Girls: Fuzzy Socks.

Whether we're walking across campus in the cold or just hanging out, fuzzy socks are a girl's best friend in college. Trust me with this, you can't go wrong. The softer, the better.

6. Bathroom Supplies.

Everyone runs out of toothpaste or toilet paper eventually. Some other things to consider are toothbrushes, Tide To-Go pens, tissues, lint rollers, and for girls; make-up remover wipes. While these things seems like a bad idea, we'll be happy to get them.

7. Favorite Movies.

Even if we don't have a DVD Player in our room, I guarantee that we know someone who does. Movie nights happen more frequently than we care to admit (because that means we're not actually studying).

These are just some ideas to get you started. Be creative! No matter what's inside the box, we'll just be happy you thought of us!

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.
