15 Holiday Gift Ideas

1. Gift Cards

Gift cards are always the safest route to go when buying holiday gifts. You can't go wrong with a gift card to someone's favorite store, or a VISA gift card that they can use anywhere. You can be super lazy, but still get a gift. Everyone wins.

2. Perfume/Cologne Set


Does your brother smell kind of bad? No worries. Get him a gift set like this lovely one from Old Spice. You'll give him a gift he can use and save your nostrils from more pain and suffering.

3. Candles

This can either be a nice touch to someone's house, or a way of saying "your room smells and I will not enter it until it smells like warm vanilla cupcakes."

4. A Day Planner

Getting someone a day planner is just a backhanded way to tell someone to get their life together.

5. A Nice Book

Who doesn't love a good book?

6. A Companion

Get this for all of the single ladies.

7. A Mixtape

Mine would probably include "Sexy Back" and "Talking Body", but that's just me.

8. Study Materials

This is a perfect gift for your parents. Or maybe not. You probably don't want them to know what you mean when you say "it's gonna be lit." They probably think you're talking about a candle.

9. Cards Against Humanity

Everyone has heard about this game, but sometimes playing with the same cards gets old. You can create your own deck and make custom cards. "Becky sings with a French accent when she's drunk?" Now you've got a card for that.

10. A Wallet


I know, wallets are totally last year, but imagine one where you can use the credit cards put into it. You don't even have to call up dad to put money in your bank account. You already have access to his credit card. If someone can figure out a way to make this, let me know.

11. Giant Teddy Bear

Remember that episode of "Zoey 101" where Logan brings the girls' a giant teddy bear with a hidden camera? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

12. Cute Decor

This particular one might be good to put on the counter in the bathroom of a frat house, but any cute little things to put around the house are nice.

13. A Pet

Who doesn't want to wake up to a cuddly little pet on Christmas morning?

14. A Vacation

Nothing says "I love you" like a one-way ticket to Norway.

15. You

Just slap a bow on your head or climb into a box. Your presence is a gift.

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.

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.
