The Best Gifts for Your Best Friends

Maybe it's just me, but gift giving is probably one of the hardest parts about the holidays. There are so many people I would love to get gifts for, but it can get expensive (and I am just another poor college student). Plus, I usually find myself going back to the same few gifts. So with some inspiration, I came up with a few gifts for your girlfriends.

Makeup Bag

Makeup bags have become more popular recently. There are so many cute options and you can find them almost anywhere. It is the perfect gift for your makeup-loving friend! Hit up your local Charming Charlie's, Target, or Forever 21 and you can find the perfect one for your best friend.

Sugar Scrub

This was one of the gifts I got from one of my friends this year. Plus, it is extra special since it is a homemade gift! There are tons of recipes out there and I am positive whoever you give it to is going to love it.

Coffee Mug

I think it is a safe bet to say that most people live on coffee in college. A great gift for any friend would be one of the cute coffee mugs that you see everywhere. You can also design your own mug and make it yourself so it has a little more of a personal touch.

Makeup and Makeup Brushes

While makeup will always be a go-to gift for Christmas, most of us forget about makeup brushes themselves. It is another great gift for your makeup-loving friend.

Dorm Room, Apartment or House Decorations

These small gifts are simple and may not seem the like the most exciting present you can get, but someday you got to start a collection of your own. You can find cute and chic décor all around. It is one way to give your best friend something that they will cherish and also remember you by.

Clothes

If you are good at shopping and know your friends style well enough shirt, dress, jacket, scarf, etc. is a great way to go. It shows that you know who they are and what they like. Besides, who does not love a pair of fuzzy socks?

Wallet

There are so many cute options out there. The Vera Bradley ID wallets are perfect for anyone, especially your fellow college students: small and easy access to your ID. However, there are plenty of other options for every girl out there.

Homemade Treats

Everyone loves Christmas treats, especially homemade ones. This just may be one of the most classic Christmas presents ever. There are dozens upon dozens of choices and this will always be a gift that everyone loves and enjoys.

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human 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.
