5 Gifts to Get Your Friends

I pride myself on being thoughtful, especially when it comes to gifts for my friends. I love buying gifts for people and seeing a smile on their face when they receive it. I've been having trouble figuring out what to get my for my friends and roommates though so I've put together a list of practical, affordable, and cute gifts!

1. Jewelry

A girl can never have too many rings. Or bracelets. Or necklaces. Pandora has plenty of beautiful pieces to choose from and a lot of these options will not break your wallet! Alex and Ani is also a good choice if you want to splurge a little bit on your friends. Hey, if you're lucky, you'll even get to borrow the accessory when it just goes perfectly with your outfit!

2. Shot Glass

Like jewelry a girl can never have too many shot glasses. They're essential for weekends and there's so many options to choose from. Designs and styles vary and you can even create or customize your own on websites like etsy.com.

3. Love Your Melon Hat


I recently purchased one of these and I have never loved a hat more. Not only do the proceeds go to a good cause, but they're adorable, affordable, and super cute! I've gotten compliments on my hat whenever I've worn it. These hats were at the top of my list! They're plenty of colors and styles to choose from at a reasonable price!

4. Gag Gift or White Elephant

Sometimes the best gifts don't include the latest fashion trends or technology. Sometimes, they include a laugh and a good memory. My roommate is obsessed with bananas so I bought her something related to them. (Spoiler Alert, roomie) Think about your inside jokes and create a gift idea based around that!

5. Gift Cards

Ask any college student how their financial situation is going right now and I guarantee they will tell you they are poor. This is most likely followed up with an "I'm starving." A gift card to any restaurant, coffee shop, or store is much appreciated. Gift cards allow us to continue to indulge in all of our favorites without the guilty feeling of knowing our bank account hates us.

No matter what you end up getting for your roommates or friends, they're going to love it! It's all about spending time and enjoying the moments. The price you spent on your friends doesn't indicate the love you have for them! Happy gifting!

AI music threatens creativity

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

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.
