Holiday shopping made easy!

1. Money

Even if you're not a broke college kid, I think we could all appreciate some extra spending money. A lot of us are not used to being on our own without having our parents money. I try to save as much as possible from what I make from my job, but I would still agree that I am a very broke college kid.

2. Target gift card

Let's be real, who doesn't love Target? They have absolutely everything, so it's always my go-to store when I need something.

3. Phone Wallets

You can spot most college kids with a phone pocket on the back of their phone to hold their credit cards and I.D. These things are usually made very cheaply, and I've already gone through 4 this year. They're not very expensive which makes them easy to stock up on.

4. Adult coloring books

Coloring is super stress relieving and finishing a coloring page is one of the most satisfying things. Adult coloring books usually include several different designs which make it even more fun. These books typically run pretty cheap and are great for sharing.

5. Box fan

The temperature in a dorm room can change daily. Some days my dorm feels hot, and other days it's the tundra. A box fan or any fan at all can make a significant difference.

6. Toaster

The closest thing I have to a toaster is the oven on the floor above me. You might not think you would need or even want a toaster but having bread, bagels, or waffles in the pantry and not being able to toast them is a struggle.

7. Water filter

Depending on the person, some people may not mind drinking directly out of the sink but for those who do, having a water filter is the best.

8. Uber gift cardsĀ 

Uber can be very convenient but also very expensive. Uber make after a night out, it's used to go grocery shopping or to get to the airport. An uber gift card is a convenient gift.

Consider these eight gifts while thinking about what to get a college student this Christmas.

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.
