Business cards offer the perfect snapshot of your business – in one small square, they can highlight your contact information, describe what you offer, share your webpage, and more. What's even better than a regular business card are unique business cards that think outside of the box and make your company unforgettable.

While many companies such as Vistaprint and MOO offer free business card templates, these are usually pretty generic and lack a little something in the creativity department.

If you want to really stand out, it's well worth the investment to shell out a little cash for custom business cards that will set you apart from everyone else.

1. Edge-Painted

Make your business cards stand out with a small pop of color around that edge to make it easily recognizable in a pile.

2. Clear

Stand out by not standing out; a transparent plastic business card gives a more modern feel to your business card while being more durable than paper.

3. Edible

Everyone loves a snack and a business card that doubles as a quick-me-up will definitely leave an impression. Just make sure to write down the contact info first!

4. Accented

A bit of color or an embossed design will add a pretty spin to an otherwise low-key card. The result is simple yet elegant.

5. Plantable

Yes, you read that right -- you can actually have business cards made that can be planted! Great for environmentally friendly companies or for those with a green thumb.

6. Tool

Some businesses want functionality along with their contact info; keeping these business cards in your wallet not only keeps the info handy but ensure you have a helpful little tool on hand as well! A variety of options are available including rulers, letter openers, money clip, can opener, bottle cap opener and more!

7. Unconventional Shape

A business card in the shape of what you sell in bright colors will be hard to forget anytime soon. The best part? The possibilities are endless! Cars, cupcakes, shoes, jewelry -- if you can think of it, it can be a card!

8. Stencil Cut-Out

Whether it's words or your logo, a stencil cut-out is sure to stand out.

9. Slide-Out

A slide-out card adds a whimsical touch that's not seen very often. The sleeve or cover also has the added bonus of providing protection to make sure your card doesn't get dirty or damaged.

10. Metal

Besides being sturdy, the sleek contemporary look of a metal finish will elevate your level of professionalism.

Customize your card and have fun!

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
