Here is a list of 10 things on every college student's Christmas list...

7 Things Every College Student Will Ask For This Christmas

7 Things Every College Student Will Ask For This Christmas

1. Sleep

It would be nice to get more than 5 hours of sleep occasionally…and not having to set an alarm in the morning would be pure bliss.

2. Good Grades

Basically...

3. Home Cooked Meals

Because dining hall food just doesn’t cut it.

4. A Large Donation of Money

Because college is expensive.

5. Comfy Clothes

No one cares about looking cute; comfort is all that matters in college. You can never have too many leggings and oversized tshirts.

6. Endless Supply of Caffeine

A necessary component of late night studying.

7. No Stress

Just for once, I’d like to be stress free and be able to relax.

8. Canceled Classes

This is always a blessing.

9. A Finished To-do List

If everything on my never ending to-do list was checked off, I wouldn’t know what to do with myself.

10. Family Time

Because when you’re away at college you don’t get to spend enough quality time with your family.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
