This Is What Every College Student Really Wants For Christmas

As the holiday season is getting closer, many are left wondering just what to get that special college student in their life. Most college students think they are way too old to write lists of what exactly they want...this leaves parents and friends everywhere wondering what to get their favorite college kid. So, worry no more, as I completed a list of some things every college student really wants for Christmas.

Reliable WiFi. Being able to trust your WiFi connection is more important than people think. There is nothing worse than being in the middle of an assignment or paper and your WiFi crashes. Find me WiFi that will not crash every time I start an assignment.

Gift cards. The dining hall food is getting really old. Being able to go off campus and get some real food is one of the best feelings as a college student. After a while, this college food gets to be really boring. It's time I start eating real food.

More than four hours of sleep a night. With all of the school work plus a social life, sleep always gets the short end of the stick most nights out of the week.

An unlimited amount of coffee. Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts gift cards never run out. Most days, coffee is the only thing keeping me alive and getting me through the day.

A vacation. I really just want to get away from it all for a week or so. How about Disney World? Paris? The beach somewhere? Maybe a month on an exotic island where my only worry will be when I should go to the beach and what I want for dinner.

Money in my bank account. This is kind of a no-brainer. I am sick of being a broke college student. All we do is go to class and do our homework. There is no time to work. I want to be able to go out and get real food, shop, and do whatever I want. This is pretty tough when you are in college where everything is expensive to you.

A 4.0 GPA. There comes a point where having three exams, two papers and a project all due within five days can be a little overwhelming...

No final exams. Finals create way too much stress. Let's just cancel them all and go straight to Christmas.

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.

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.
