It's that time of year where guys are scrambling wondering what would be a good gift for their girlfriend, otherwise known as Valentine's Day.

The day of love.

Many girls in college aren't very specific but they also aren't specific on what NOT to get them. I asked 10 girls what they definitely did not want for Valentine's. Here are some suggestions to stay away from if you want your girl to like her gift for Valentine's.

1. Balloons

“I’ve been given one of these Valentine’s Day balloons and I hated it. It was just so annoying to carry around. I liked the guy, but I let the balloon fly away as soon as I got home. Balloons are pointless unless they are meant for a party. Get me chocolate instead”

2. Singing Candy Gram

“Any kind of singing anything. The thought behind it is cute, but it’s loud and embarrassing to get in public and a giant no for me”

3. Giant teddy bears


The gesture is nice, but if the bear reaches larger than 2 feet, you might want to ask where she would actually put it.

4. Expensive jewelry


Maybe when I’m 30 and a hard-working woman, I would love to show off the occasional bling, but we college girls prefer the simplicity of gifts.

5. Inuyasha Season 7 Box Set DVDs

Just don’t.

6. Plan B


I mean, come on.

7. Anything you got your ex-girlfriend


We girls don’t like to be treated like every other girl you’ve been with.

8. Math Puzzle Books


Puzzle books are fun, but when it comes to math, it’s just work and an overall headache.

9. Divorce Papers


Nothing like a divorce to spice things up for Valentine's

10. Toothpaste


"Yes I've been meaning to go to the dentist soon, thank you for reminding me."

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
