This year has gone by so fast, and suddenly Christmas is around the corner.

My family has this tradition that every year, around this time, we make Christmas lists. A lot of my friends find it surprising that my family do this. Most people haven't written a Christmas list since they discovered Santa isn't real. However, it just makes Christmas shopping so much easier, while still keeping the surprise element because you don't know what you'll be getting off your list.

I'm pretty sure 2018's Christmas List is the best yet:

Fitbit Aria 2

https://www.amazon.com/Fitbit-Aria-Wi-Fi-Smart-Scale/dp/B0752M6T6K/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1544461462&sr=1-4&keywords=fitbit%2Baria%2B2&th=1

This is a great gift for the fitness buff in your family. The Fitbit Aria 2 is a smart scale that calculates not only weight, but BMI, body fat %, and more. Just about anything you need to make sure you are committed to those 2019 resolutions!

Microsoft Surface Laptop

https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Surface-Touchscreen-Computer-Bluetooth/dp/B07CRKRC58/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1544462256&sr=1-3&keywords=microsoft+surface+laptop

I've had my laptop since my junior year of high school, and I am now going into my senior year at college. Meaning, it's time for a change. I love PCs, and I have seen a lot of good reviews about the Microsoft Surface Pro as well as the laptop. Either would be a great gift for the college student in your life.

Med School Confidential

https://www.amazon.com/Med-School-Confidential-Complete-Experience/dp/0312330081/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1544461568&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=med+school+confidential

With my senior year basically around the corner, that means MCAT and medical school are also around the corner. Med School Confidential gives a lot of first person accounts and advice for incoming medical students. I've heard a lot of the advice presented in this book can be beneficial for premed students too!

Rapid Egg Cooker

https://www.amazon.com/Dash-Rapid-Egg-Cooker-Scrambled/dp/B00DDXWFY0/ref=sr_1_5?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1544462372&sr=1-5&keywords=egg+cooker

I eat an unnatural amount of hard boiled eggs, so I don't think anybody would want this except me. This thing can hard boil six eggs at one time (rapidly!!!)! Even to an egg love like myself, six hard boiled eggs sounds like a lot, but I am so impatient. I can easily cook three eggs in this thing in 5 min. And if you like deviled eggs, this make the process so much easier!

Bath Bombs

https://www.amazon.com/Anjou-Natural-Essential-Moisturizes-Girlfriends/dp/B06VWV9B7T/ref=sr_1_7_acs_osp_osp20-bb552632-c8_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1544462413&sr=1-7-acs&keywords=bath%2Bbombs&tag=bestcont06-20&ascsubtag=bb552632-c8a9-402d-9285-8da67bc9ba02&linkCode=oas&cv_ct_id=amzn1.osp.bb552632-c8a9-402d-9285-8da67bc9ba02&cv_ct_pg=search&cv_ct_wn=osp-search&pd_rd_wg=AzBfe&pf_rd_r=MWTVGPF3NK8W713WJRXM&pf_rd_p=7f6b8bb9-631f-46f6-b8ad-496a9af123d5&pd_rd_r=cc130a44-6902-451e-b027-e645ef0483b0&pd_rd_w=j7LBA&creativeASIN=B06VWV9B7T&pd_rd_i=B06VWV9B7T&th=1

Self love- that's all that needs to be said.

Petzi Treat Cam

https://www.amazon.com/Furbo-Dog-Camera-Designed-Compatible-x/dp/B01FXC7JWQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1544462507&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=petzi+treat+cam&psc=1

Do you ever wish you could facetime your pet? I swear I get separation anxiety from my dog while I'm at work or class. This nifty gift allows your favorite pet lover to check in on their pets while their away, and it even allows you to give your pet treat!

Bamboo Bathtub Tray

https://www.amazon.com/Royal-Craft-Wood-Bathtub-Natural/dp/B01C4IS4Q2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1544462468&sr=8-3&keywords=bamboo+bath+tray

My dream in life is to be able to live in a nice warm bath for the rest of my life. With this bathtub tray, and my array of bath bombs, I will never have to leave my bath!

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.

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.
