14 Gifts We Actually Want For Valentines Day
Valentines Day is right around the corner..

For the typical 20-something American that means one thing- panic. Some of us are panicking because we are single on Valentines, yet again. The rest of us are panicking because we don't have a clue what to buy for our girlfriends or boyfriends that won't completely suck. With listening ears, and some strong opinions from many college students I came up with a go to list. So to save as many girlfriends as possible from receiving a ridiculously sized teddy bear they won't have room for in their apartments anyways, I am sharing this list of

Things People In Their 20-Somethings Actually Want For Valentines Day.

1. Dollar Shave club

Razors are like $24 a pop. Send razors directly to your special someone's door, and never worry about them prickling you when you snuggle again!

2. Alcohol

Okay, maybe not a bottle of Barefoot or a case of Natural Lite. Go out to a local brewery and buy your one-of-a-kind lover a one-of-a-kind brew!

3. Amazon Prime

What says I Love You more than free 2-day shipping for a year?! Not to mention all of the free movies, TV shows, Music, and more available through a prime membership. If you really want to make your special someone's day, you could even buy Alexa and give a gift that they will use every day to simplify their life.

4. K-Cups

These bad boys are pricey and essential! My advice to anyone who wants to win my heart- get me caffeinated. What's better than a gift that makes someone think for you every morning when they start their day?

5. Socks

Funny how the taboo gift of your childhood becomes an all-time favorite in adulthood. I'm not talking Hanes people. I'm talking wool. I'm talking insulated. I'm talking socks that will knock your socks off! My personal favorite are the brand FITS.

6. Spotify Premium

Hours of music that I can download and listen to anytime, and I don't have to use my data? Sign me up! Way better than an iTunes gift card.

7. A Corckcicle

This new insulated brand deserves 5 Stars! they've got everything from their signature whisky wedge to their insulated bottle that can hold a complete bottle of wine. These will keep your sweet tea cold for up to 24hrs and your coffee warm for 12hr; but mostly, its sure to warm hearts as a valentine gift.

8. Bose Mini Blu Tooth Speaker

This blu tooth speaker puts all others to shame! They're battery life is long lasting which makes this piece super portable for anywhere you may need it.

9. Tickets To A Music Festival

Everyone loves a music festival. The only thing that could make them any better is going with someone you love.

10. Birch Box $30

This is the gift that keeps on giving. Seriously, every month they'll get a new package full of great new beauty products sent to them.

11. Ancestry DNA $99

This one is fun and you can do it together. The only down side is that you have to wait a few weeks for the results.

12. Rubber wine glass

Great for tailgating, the beach, or just a clumsy drunk. These are so fun! They can be personalized, and they're dishwasher safe.

13. Jewelry with a purpose

I know, Walmart and Khole's have their finest selection of heart necklaces on display this time of year, but go off the beaten path-It will pay off. Puravida bracelets and wanderer Bracelets are two really popular casual brands that also give back. A step up from that would be the Alex and Ani line. All of theses brands offer personal jewelry that is unique to the person receiving it.

14. Pay a bill. ANY. BILL.


Whatever you give or get, and whoever you celebrate with-

don't forget to give some love this Valentines Day.

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.
