During the holiday season, it can be hard to find the perfect gift for everyone. "Overwhelming" is an understatement when trying to make sure friends, parents, long-lost relatives, and your significant other are all pleased by your presents. Everyone has a different process for buying their gifts...

Gives you exactly what you ask for

This is the best kind of giver because you know you’ll love your present- it is what you asked for and picked out. You might have a put on your fake "surprised" face, but there is no worrying about opening up an ugly sweater that is 3 sizes too big.

Gives you what THEY would like

We are all guilty of giving our friends something we like just so that we can borrow it in the future. We try to convince ourselves "if I love it, they must too!"

The re-gifter

Wait, didn’t I see you get that from grandma last year?

Adds their name to someone else's gift

When you wake up on Christmas eve and realize you forgot to get Aunt Susie a present, sometimes it’s easier to just add your name to the card on the box of chocolates your mom bought her.

The procrastinator

You're probably going to get money or gift-cards from this person. By the time they remembered to get a gift, all the stores were closed.

The homemade gift giver

You can always expect the latest DIY project or a batch of homemade cookies from this giver. While people typically tease them for not “spending enough money” on presents, we are all secretly envious of their talents and wish we had thought of such a meaningful gift.

So, what kind of giver are you this holiday season?

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.
