Christmas is approaching, and that means only a few more weeks left of school. If you are stuck on what to get your student or your friend, stocking stuffers are the way to go.

These are some things that every college student wouldn't mind getting in their stocking:

1. Money

Yes, I mean who would not want money? We will be home for month and all of our friends are back in town. Most things cost money to do, and we are broke college students.

2. Giftcards

Please give us gift cards. More importantly, Starbucks gift cards. I can't tell you how much money I spend at Starbucks, I went through my bucks so fast because of coffee. Another gift card you could get is any food place that is on campus. Ask your student what places are on campus and get them gift cards for that place.

3. Headphones

I can't explain how useful headphones are even extra headphones. The best ones are noise canceling headphones if you are trying to study in the library or in your room.

4. Chapstick

No one likes chap lips, and winter is approaching. No more dry lips!

5. Good, not cheap, socks

We don't have the money to splurge on socks.

6. Netflix subscription renewal

This helps us study when we get back to school.

7. Phone charger

Because you can never have enough.

8. FitBit

Easier to justify "walking to class" as a daily workout.

9. Candy

Literally never not relevant.

10. Bananagrams//Cards Against Humanity

We like games too.

11. Underwear.

New, clean underwear means less laundry. Big win.

12. Pocket Bible.

So you can take God everywhere for any occassion.

13. Slippers

Okay, these might not fit in a stocking, but if you have to put them under the tree, we'll still enjoy them.

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.

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.
