Last Minute Christmas Shopping Told In Gifs
La Familia Pawn

For a college student, Christmas shopping isn't super high up on the list of priorities, but as the school year winds down and finals week comes to an end, the realization hits that you have not gotten a single present for anyone in your family. Basically, you go into panic mode and start freaking out 'cause surprise, Christmas is coming up and it is coming up fast.

1.You just finished you last final and you could not be more excited to turn of your 8 A.M. alarm and sleep in.


2.The first weekend that you're home and you are crazy excited to just kick your feet up and not have a care in the world.


3. In the middle of your relaxing when you realize that you've done absolutely zero Christmas shopping for your family and Christmas is a week away.

4. Speeding to the mall with everyone else who's doing last-minute Christmas shopping.


5.Then hitting insane traffic that surrounds all malls in the weeks leading up to Christmas and the road rage hits an all time high.

6. Dealing with all the other shoppers in the chaos that are last-minute Christmas shopping.


7. Getting home after somehow successfully getting gifts for everyone that you need and feeling way prouder than you should.


8. Struggling to wrap all the presents and you have no clue how your mom even makes all the presents look good.


9. Waking up Christmas morning and being overcome by the childlike joy when you rip into your presents.

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.

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.
