The Twelve Days of Christmas

Every student has a list of things they want for Christmas. Some people even like to make a Christmas list ,but not me! I politely just write a "Twelve Days of Christmas List." My list basically consist of twelve items every college student should wish for!

On the first day of Christmas my parents gave to me...

A Keurig machine and a ton of k-cups! Every college student needs a Keurig machine to make them want to go to class to stay energized and get through the day.

On the second day of Christmas my parents gave to me...

A Swiffer sweeper! If you are a neat freak, you probably of need this to keep those tile floors clean, and do some tidying up before you leave for break.

On the third day of Christmas my parents gave to me....

An Eno! Yes an Eno, the super easy set-up hammock that folds up into a small travel case. This Spring Hill College favorite, would be a phenomenal Christmas gift so then I could hang out in the trees with my friends.

On the fourth day of Christmas my parents gave to me...

My goofy parents bought me a bunch of socks and underwear. Why would I want socks and underwear? Well if you are like me you would probably would take about 2 showers a day and change a bunch. So underwear and socks come in handy.

On the fifth day of Christmas my parents gave to me...

My phenomenal parents gave me a bicycle! We all need a quick ride to class and walking just does not work!

On the sixth day of Christmas my parents gave to me...

A SAMs Club membership! I love to buy food and drinks in bulk so it is nice having a SAMs Club membership in the family, and they also offer a discounted college student membership. It's great for cheap gas, and to stock up on snacks.

On the seventh day of Christmas my parents gave to me...

A pair of Uggs! Everyone loves those stylish boots and they make them for both men and women. How nice?

On the eighth day of Christmas my parents gave to me...

A plane ticket to Italy! A lot of my friends and fellow classmates will be traveling to Bologna, Italy for a semester abroad in January.

On the ninth day of Christmas my parents gave to me...

A Netflix subscription! Everyone needs Netflix to watch television when their college cable is really acting up, and its the perfect way to procrastinate homework.

On the tenth day of Christmas my parents gave to me...

My funny parents gave me cash! Some people need to pay off credit cards and others want to shop! Personally I really would like $500 to shop for new clothes. The New Year means new clothes!

On the eleventh day of Christmas my parents gave to me...

My genius parents gave me to me a crockpot! A crockpot is fun to use and easy to cook food in. It's better than the easy bake oven you got when you were three!

On the twelfth day of Christmas my parents game me...

My fantastic parents gave to me a trip to the spa! After finals everyone needs to relax! I would prefer this gift before Christmas actually, how about the day after finals?

I hope you guys enjoy the Christmas list and you may even find something to ask you parents for! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
