A Gift Guide For Every College Student You'll Ever Meet

1. The Preppy: Vineyard Vines Whale Logo Cap, $25

We all know that Vineyard Vines is the epitome of classy. Get this for your favorite country-club going, golf-playing friend. The cap comes in a wide variety of colors, from turqoise to pink to navy, making it perfect for a guy or a girl.


2. The Jokester: Brookstone Bathroom Golf Game, $19.99

Next time you're in the bathroom, you don't have to play a game on your phone- you can play one right at your feet! The set comes with a "contoured polyester putting green, plastic putter, two plastic golf balls, and a plastic flag."

3. The Techy: Waterproof Bluetooth Shower Speaker with LED Lights, $20

This gift is perfect for the techy in your life and turns every shower into a karaoke party. Complete with LED lights, this speaker is amazing for those gross dorm showers. Added bonus- since the speaker actually answers phone calls, you can now call your mom AND shower at the same time!


4. The Girly-Girl: Smashbox Try It Kit, $18

This gift set comes with all the basics in cosmetics- a neutral, rich eyeshadow trio, foundation primer, foundation primer, and mascara that promises "no clumps. no flakes." Ideal for the girly-girl in your life, and budget friendly.

5. The Party Animal: Engraved Shotglass, $7

This gift is inexpensive and is a great combination of thoughtfullness, class and humor. Next time your party animal friend is guzzling down their fav tequila/vodka, they can do so in style with their very own monogramed shotglass. Want more? Get a pack of six from Nordstrom here.

6. The Sports Fanatic: NFL Printed Fleece Blanket, $10-$50

Your fav #1 sports fan will be warm and cozy next time they watch their #1 team, whether from their couch or the stadium. However, if your friend is more into other sports, check out these MLB, NHL and NBA ones.

7. The Witty One: Get Your Shit Together Notepad, $6.50

Just like your friend, this notepad is straightforward, blunt and to the point.

8. The Germaphobe: UV Toothbrush Holder Sanitizer, $13

Your friends will thank you endlessly when you present him/her with this. The sanitizer supposedly kills "99 percent of germs, bacteria and mold."

9. The Athlete: Stamina Elliptical Trainer, $69

This is perfect for your friend and will soon become their newest workout obsession. The portable, lightweight elliptical trainer doesn't require a gym and allows you to work out in your own home, right in front of the TV. It is also easily storable, so basically perfect for someone living in a tight, cluttered dorm room whose too lazy to walk to the gym.

10. The Foodie: Munchpak Snack Pack, $35+

Munchpak is the foodie's ultimate dream. The company delivers snacks from all over the world straight to your doorstep. The most affordable option is the Munchpak mini with a three month subscription, which sends your recipient five full snacks for three month. What's more, you're able to customize a munchpak to your preference (for an additional price, of course).

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.
