Gift Ideas For the College Student

'Tis the season for holiday shopping. All the malls are lit up with their Christmas decor, the shops are playing Christmas music and the line to get your picture taken with Santa takes up half the mall. If you're like me and you've been asked a millions times by your mom, dad, aunts and grandma what you want want for Christmas and you literally have no clue, this list might be able help you and them out this holiday season.

1. Money money money.

Because the broke college student could use plenty of that.

2. Pay a bill, any bill

Lord knows we have enough of those to pay too.

3. A large donation to my college tuition

Again, there's enough of that that needs to be paid of for too...

4. An even bigger donation to my alcohol fund

What can I say, college drives us to drink.

5. Money for groceries

We're starving college students

6. Money for next semesters textbooks

Those things are literally $200.... a book

7. Starbucks gift cards

College students run on coffee

8. A day without setting an alarm

A day without setting an alarm is a day almost better than Christmas if we're being honestly.

9. A home cooked meal

Because the dining halls and microwave mac n cheese is no match for what's your momma can cook.

10. Free laundry

Because spending $1.25 a load is quit ridiculous

11. Gift cards. So many gift cards.

Gift cards literally mean free stuff, and who doesn't love free stuff ?

12. Oh, and a puppy would be nice too.

Because we all need a furry friend to cuddle with when Spring semester starts back up and the millions of hours of homework starts piling back up.

We don't ask for a lot, us college students, just a few dollars and a day to sleep in here and there. I hope this list gives you so many ideas of what to get your college student this holiday season!

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.

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.
