Dear Santa,

With the holidays fast approaching I've realized that I have neglected to write you my Christmas wish list! I've been a really good student this year. I've only had a few mental breakdowns (okay, more than a few), and my anxiety is practically gone (also not true). I know that these days, it seems that college kids have gotten more and more difficult to buy for! I thought I would help you out and write an ultimate gift list for any college student.


1. "Class is Canceled" Emails

I am honestly the happiest I have been in a long time when I wake up to see that class is canceled. It is even better when that is your first class of the day and you get to sleep in!

2. Not having to purchase required textbooks!



ESPECIALLY the ones that we never open after the first week.

3. Sleep

I'm not talking about the 5 minute naps we take between classes. I'm talking a full 8 hours (AT LEAST) with a comfortable bed, nice soft pillows and plenty of zzzz's.

4. Money

I mean, I don't need to be a Rockefeller, but I would like to be able to shop at classier joints than the Dollar Tree.


5. Puppy sightings on campus


Okay but Santa, do you REALLY understand how magical it is when you can spontaneously pet a dog?!

6. Food

But not like... food that comes with microwaveable instructions.

7. Every week to be syllabus week!

I don't mean to go over expectations for the entire semester, but I could really get used to having minimal stress!

8. A 4.0 GPA

I don't believe these exist in college. Please prove me wrong.

9. Getting able to get into all of the classes you need

Hallelujah! Scheduling classes can be like the Purge. Just once, I would like no hassle and to get into all the classes I need.

10. No Finals


Finals suck and make people cry.

11. To stop procrastinating

I can't study until I take this Buzzfeed quiz. It tells me what kind of cheese I am. I must know.

12. More sleep


I'm just really tired, okay?

13. Being able to shower without shoes


Is this the real life?!

Santa, any of these gifts would be perfect for any college student on your list. Just remember, especially after all of us dealing with finals week, we all could probably use a little sleep. Can't wait to see what goodies you've left me under the tree!

Merry Christmas!

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.
