It's time to get good deals on Christmas gifts.

Cyber Monday, Black Friday's cousin. A lot of shopping for Christmas gifts are online nowadays. Amazon, eBay, iTunes, NHL.com, and NFL.com are just some online sources for great gifts. Most of the gifts I received in years past were purchased online. I've gotten gift cards, jerseys and books mostly. Buying online makes it easier to get gifts for everyone in the family. As a broke college student, we need deals on things we wish to buy for our friends and family.

The phrase "Cyber Monday" has only been in existence since 2005, but the concept has been in practice since the invention of online shopping. It'd also help if you had a credit or debit card also.

Christmas and Hanukkah are about a month away, but it'll be here before we know it. I hope all of your shopping goes well and that your computer doesn't crash when your making payments, or vice versa if the website itself crashes. It's always important to ask those what they want so you can get a head start.

Another simple idea that does not actually require cyber technology. Christmas cards are a more personal way of showing affection to those we love, which I enjoy doing. I'm a writer, and Christmas cards are a great way to send a small gift like a gift card or money to someone. Speaking of which, I have to get on that...

I know we still have about a month until the Christmas/Hanukkah season, but I wanted to wish you all a Happy Holiday season anyways! Cause I'm that nice of a person. Happy New Year too! Hope 2017 is a good year!

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.
