Simple College Student Christmas Gift Guide

I think college students are just about the easiest people to please on planet earth. It really doesn't take much at all to make us happy. If you don't know what to get a college student for Christmas, I can guarantee that if you mix and match any of these things, they would absolutely love it! You're welcome.

1. Giftcards

Wegmans, gasoline, wegmans, amazon, wegmans, dunkin, wegmans, airlines, wegmans, airbnb, etc.

2. Socks/Gloves/Hats/Scarves/Boots

Honestly, anything to keep us warm. We are cold 24/7 and you really can't go wrong with a nice blanket scarf.

3. Charger/Portable charger

Our phones are always dead. Or is that just me?

4. Wireless speaker/Headphones

Our laptops aren’t loud enough, and headphones are just way too easy to misplace, it's always nice to have an extra pair!

.

5. Cute glass bowls or mugs

Because we microwave everything and never feel like doing dishes.

6. Dorm room cookbook/Easy college recipes

We’re always looking for new healthy foods to incorporate into our diets so that we don’t eat mac and cheese for breakfast, lunch and dinner

.

7. Anything from Lush.

Do I really need an explanation? My lush facemask is all I look forward to after a long day.

8. A Fitbit

So we can track how many miles it takes us to walk to all of our activities and classes all over campus.

9. Stress relief lotion

It really does relieve stress, people. Hit us up with some bath and body works stress relief lotion and you will be a friend for life.

10. A S'well water bottle

They're cute, they hold a ton of water while keeping it cold, what else would anyone want ever?!

11. Good grades

What do we REALLY want for Christmas this year, you ask? A 4.0, please and thank you. :)

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
