If you're shopping for an English major, you're in luck. We're actually really easy to shop for. You just need to get a little nerdy and creative with your choices.

1. Bullet Journal

Bullet journals are the ideal gift for an English major that loves to doodle, plan, organize, and take notes. We tend to be a little scatterbrained, but having a fun bullet journal can help us organize our thoughts. They're basically like blank planners that you can customize and design yourself. English majors are always doodling during lectures, so this is the perfect gift for them.

2. Personalized Stationery

Just like bullet journals, English majors love fun and quirky stationery. It's hard to say if we'll actually have a need for it, but we'd appreciate having the option to use it.

3. Harry Potter Bracelet

You can get this bracelet on Etsy, but if your English major isn't a Harry Potter fan, there are plenty of other book quote bracelets. I like this one though because it's a little obscure and unique to Ravenclaws (like 70% of the English majors I know are Ravenclaws).

4. Mr. Darcy Mug

English majors are obsessed with both Mr. Darcy and coffee, so combine them together and buy your English major this mug.

5. Literary Candle

Who doesn't want candles? I don't even know what this candle smells like, but if it's inspired by "The Great Gatsby," I want it. There are a lot of different unique literary candles on Etsy, so you can browse around and find the candle that's inspired by one of your English major's favorite books.

6. Framed Louisa May Alcott Quote

Well, if this isn't describing an English major, I don't know what does. This is a perfect piece of decor for your English major's dorm room or apartment.

7. "A Christmas Carol" Bath Bomb

I mean it's seasonally appropriate and it's Dickens. It's obviously a win-win for an English major.

8. "The Great Gatsby" Locket

Do you know any English major that isn't in love with "The Great Gatsby"? This unique necklace is the perfect way to show your English major that you value their taste in books.

9. Planner

A new year is about to start and you know that your English major is in desperate need of an updated planner. English majors love planners, so if you know your English major particularly well, like well enough to pick out the perfect planner, then you should make their Christmas with this purchase.

10. Harry Potter Wine Glass

Nerdy is chic when you're an English major, so this wine glass is absolutely perfect.

11. "Pride and Prejudice" Earrings

These beautiful earrings are perfect for an English major. The packaging might contain the only reference to the book, but it's still a great gift.

12. Bookworm Necklace

Well, this gift is just self-explanatory. Your English major is obviously a bookworm.

13. Literary Bookmarks

If you are an English major and you're looking for the perfect, inexpensive, but still thoughtful gift for all your English major friends, these bookmarks are just what you need.

I apologize, but this list is definitely targeted for girl English majors. Your guess is as good as mine when it comes to what boy English majors want.

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.
