Adult Children still need love

The Christmas of your Senior year in college is basically your last shot at your family buying you a sh*t ton. As Seniors, though, we are planning our lives post-grad. This is the gateway to the big leagues, and this is the last chance to attempt to get other people to buy you what you need.

Practicality is key.

1. Money

Obvi, the most important. This leads to the most freedom and best chance of being able to buy what you actually need and not another stocking stuffer.

2. Left-overs to take back to school

The longer you can go without eating in the caf or cooking for yourself, the better.

3. Wool Socks

It's the small things.

4. A nice planner

A gift that'll help you maybe get your life together.

5. Gift Cards

Kind of like Money, but your relatives feel less guilty giving it to you. It'll make them feel like they put thought into your gift, but you still get what you want.

6. Sweaters to last a lifetime

Good sweaters are too expensive but paramount to a happy adult life.

7. Cotton Underwear

Honestly, just like the wool socks, it's the small things.

8. Quality Rain boots

Wellies can be super expensive, but a good pair can last a lifetime. A gift that will keep on giving.

9. Money

10. Alcohol

dRelatives know the good stuff and maybe can show you something better than Natty.

11. Netflix, HBO Go, HULU passwords

Bonus points if you just write the passwords on the card holding the money. Honestly, they don't need to even buy you your own account. Just let you use theirs.

12. A NICE winter jacket

No more “drunk jackets” that can just be left at a frat house, I am stocking up for a real life with hopefully enough money for coat checks at the club.

13. Starbucks gift cards

I won't feel so guilty for buying expensive coffee if it’s basically free

14. Money

"Got money on the mind, and my mind on the money"

So quick share your list with your fam, so they don't continue to think you're a child and buy you something silly.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
