After getting through another semester filled with drama, crazy weather, homework, and other problems, college students want to enjoy the holiday break. This means that students get more time to spend with family and friends. During the Christmas season, there are many things that make this a special time of the year, so it is important to let these scholars know how much they are appreciated and recognized for their accomplishments. Here are some gifts that college students would love to get for Christmas.

1. Programmable alarm clock

Most college students have to get up early for their classes, and this means remembering to set an alarm to remind them. However, it's unlikely they will always have the motivation or positive attitude to go (thanks to homework) and sit in a boring lecture. Their schedules changes, so they will need a gift that can fit daily routines. Smart alarm clocks wake students up at different times according to their class schedule so they will not oversleep or panic about being late.

2. Rocketbook Wave Smart Notebook

Taking class notes can really be a pain, especially if your handwriting is messy or the notebook you use is a three subject. College students would definitely enjoy this high-tech notebook where they can send their class notes right to the cloud. The notebook combines with the Rocketbook app for their phones. This allows students to take notes more efficiently.

3. Homesick candles

Despite all the problems students face daily, college is still a fun place. After a while, they will start to miss their homes and the town where they grew up. These candles are unique because they have the scent of every U.S. state. Now college students have a small reminder of home. It is a nice addition to any dorm room and a great cure for homesick students.

4. Life hack book

There are many things in life that can be frustrating like laundry, finances, and studying. Instead of allowing college students to go crazy trying to figure out everything the hard way, this is a gift that will make life easier for them. They can read about different life hacks to overcome situations that are challenging. Students will learn tips on how to remember things, save money, and other useful information. They can share this advice with their friends and classmates, as well.

5. Metal dog balloon sculpture

Here is a gift that is cool, amazing, and a little weird. However, it's also something that college students can put on their desk or near the window. Roommates might think it is funny, while their friends may find it to be strange. This is a fun gift for any student because of the design and nostalgia of childhood but is a great choice for those majoring in the fine arts.

6. 5-in-1 tool pen

Every college student needs a pencil or pen to write notes, but what if they had a tool that had other unique features? This gadget has a screwdriver, stylus, bubble level, ruler, and pen. With multiple uses, students will absolutely love this gift.

7. "Be Yourself" paperweight

With all the stress going on in college, sometimes we need to tell students to have confidence in themselves. This gift will do just that. It is a great reminder that friends will be there for them, and they should never give up on their goals.

8. Stackable lunch pot

Among finishing homework, writing essays, and getting to class on time, food is a necessity at college. Students will love this BPA-free polypropylene plastic container for storing their lunch and snacks. It's an awesome gift for commuters.

9. JBL Flip 4 waterproof portable Bluetooth speaker

For students who want to throw a party at the end of the semester. One of the best things about this gift is that it's fun and transportable. After months of hard work, this speaker will make the next college or summer party an awesome one.

10. Beats headphones

When students are studying for exams or want to relax for a while, they can listen to music with this gift. These headphones are the most popular. They are strong and have adjustable volume. Students can listen to any kind of music, but for an excellent sound, they should play something modern. When it comes time for exams, this is the gift they need.

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.
