In This Article:

College students are at the age of trying to not go broke but also not being able to get away with cute little kid gifts anymore. The struggle of this is trying to think of things to get for people. Now the holidays aren't just about gift-giving but it's the most stressful part. My go-to is to always create gifts. Now I may not be the most artistic person so these can be for anyone!

Trying to recycle is the first thing I do when trying to thing of gift ideas. It's good for the environment and can be a really cute gift. You can personalize them too! Maybe with their favorite colors or favorite animal. It's super simple, you just need wine bottles, paint, and a paint brush.

Winter Hat ornaments- for grandparents

These winter hats are so cute and take no time at all! Yarn, scissors, and toilet paper rolls are the only things you need. This is again a great way to recycle things. Grandparents will love these little hats, and they'll have a constant reminder of you in their house.

Paintings - for Parents

Parents, no matter how old you get, love to get paintings and drawing from their children. It comes from the heart and allows you to show your more artistic side.

Book Clocks - Significant others parents or grandparents

These are so cute and great decorations. They are a bit more time to make since you have to cut through pages and put the hardware together but it's so rewarding in the end to see the final product.

Sports Ball Painting - Cousins or significant other

This is so fun to do. Take the sport they play or they like and paint it into something cool like a sunset. A few spray paint colors and tape is all you would need. It comes out so fun and cute.

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.

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.
