All I Want For Christmas...

A College Student's Christmas

Oh Christmas time, one of the best times of the year. Christmas is right around the corner which means sleeping in late, absolutely no schoolwork, home-cooked meals, and family time. Nothing beats your home bed and your own bathroom. (if you know what I mean)

Throughout the month of December, you will get asked the same question over and over and over again, “What do you want for Christmas?” As college kids, we all know what we actually need, but then again what we actually want. Between the two, it can be that new gaming console to new socks and underwear that doesn’t have holes all in them--but we still stick the console.

Here are five reasonable gift ideas that any college kid would ecstatic to see on Christmas morning.

1. Money

No one can complain or gripe about money. You can do anything and everything with it. Now you can even buy those sweet new Nikes you saw in the window at the mall last week.

2. Gift Cards

Gift cards have the same concept as money, but have a bigger advantage over all. The gift card giver knows you will spend it on something you enjoy from what ever store they choose.


3. Clothes/Shoes

Lets be honest, college students never have time to do anything besides live in the library. Constantly wearing the same things week after week makes your stuff become ragged. Needless to say, clothes and shoes are greatly appreciated.

4. Music

While studying, you almost have to have some kind of music to get you focused and determined. Lets be real, whether you're in a Dave Matthews mood or a Fetty mood it all gets you through your studies.

5. Food

Without a doubt, food for every student is and will always be a top choice. You're flat out broke and your money is going straight to Thursday nights and weekends. You don't want to waste a dime on anything else.

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.
