10 Things You Should Ask For This Christmas

Future Thinking

Don't know what to ask for this Christmas? I've got you covered. Here are 10 Christmas gifts that you should be excited about if you see them under your tree.

1. Amazon Echo Dot

The Echo Dot is a smaller, more compact version of the original Echo. It is a hands-free, voice-controlled device that uses a voice named Alexa to play music, control smart home devices, provide information, read the news, set alarms, and more.

2. Spotify Premium

With Spotify Premium, you can play any song, download music, so no internet is needed, never hear ads, and listen to your favorite songs in high definition.

3. Rebecca Minkoff Cable Knit Tech Beanie

The Rebecca Minkoff Cable Knit Tech Beanie is wired with headphones so you can be connected while staying warm and cozy.

4. Apple iPhone 7

Yet another iPhone has reached store shelves just in time for Christmas. The iPhone 7 has better performance and battery life than any other iPhone, as well as new finishes, water resistance, and stereo speakers.

5. Spikeball Game Set

Look familiar? Probably because you've seen it on Shark Tank. Spikeball is played with 2 teams of 2 and a taut hoola-hoop sized net placed between the teams. The game begins with a player serving the ball down on the net so it ricochets up at the other team . They have up to 3 hits between them to bounce it back off the net toward their opponents. When they miss, you score. Oh, and there are no boundaries. Run around the net as much as you'd like.

6. Microsoft Surface Pro 4

The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is a tablet that can replace your laptop. It is super thin, fast, versatile, and built to run professional-grade software.

7. Daydream View

Daydream View is a virtual reality headset and controller by Google that lets you explore new worlds, kick back in your personal cinema, and play games that put you at the center of action. It also allows you to experience concerts, sports, and the entire Youtube catalog, including a rich set of 360° panoramic videos.

8. Fitbit Charge 2

The Fitbit Charge 2 provides you with PurePulse heart rate, multi-sport tracking and connected GPS, call, text, and calendar alerts, cardio fitness level, and guided breathing sessions. Unlike the original Fitbit Charge, the Charge 2 offers interchangeable accessory bands, so you aren't stuck with sporting the black band 24/7.

9. U45 Drone with HD Camera

The U45 Drone offers a one-touch take off landing, an altitude hold function that allows for beginners to easily fly the drone, an HD camera, a headless mode that allows for no need in adjusting the position of the drone prior to flying, and 360° flips and stunts.

10. Mophie Powerstation 5X

The Mophie Powerstation 5X is one of the most powerful external batteries ever created by Mophie. Its thin design makes it easy to travel with or simply carry around in your pocket.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

LaGrange College

Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
