So after my article about presents you should get your significant other for Christmas, a lot of my friends asked me to make an article about what presents you should get your friends. This one's for you, my peeps.

1. Fuzzy socks

Yes, it was on my last list, but come ON. Who doesn't like fuzzy socks?????

2. A board/card game of some sort

Board games are always a good way of spending time together with your friends. My friend McKenzie introduced me to the game "Skip-Bo," and I'm obsessed. She bought it for me. (Thanks.)

3. Food

Food is always a must in a friendship. "Hey, wanna go to McDonald's?" "OMG YES!"

4. A poster

Buy them a poster of something they're interested in. It's cheap and personal.

5. A shirt

Clothes are always a good way to go when buying presents. Guesstimate their size, and boom, you have a gift that they're going to wear all the time. That is, assuming you know what they like to wear.

6. Perfume/cologne

Listen, this is a good way to tell your friend(s) that they low-key stink. It'll be funny.

7. Tickets to your (mutual) favorite artist

I promise you, nose-bleed tickets are cheap. You're there for the experience, not to have good seats.

8. Books (if they like reading)

Even if they don't, buy them one of those basic poetry books you see ALL over social media.

9. An empty box

Wrap up an empty box and call it day. Be like, "sorry man, I don't have the money to buy you anything even though I want to." It's the thought that counts.

10. A movie

Maybe there's a movie that they haven't seen that blows your mind that they haven't. Buy it for them. Watch it with them.

11. Cups/mugs

The stereotypical Christmas gift. But make it personal.

12. A calendar

Yo, everyone needs a calendar, especially if you aren't in school. "What day is it?" "Uhh, I don't know!"

13. Chapstick

For your friends who live up north, they're going to need some Chapstick.

14. Something with their name on it

If you happen to find a little something that has their name on it, they will freak. Especially since most everyone can never find their name to begin with.

So there you have it my dudes. I hoped this helped with finding what you should get your friends. If not, too bad.

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
