Gift Ideas For the College Student

'Tis the season for holiday shopping. All the malls are lit up with their Christmas decor, the shops are playing Christmas music and the line to get your picture taken with Santa takes up half the mall. If you're like me and you've been asked a millions times by your mom, dad, aunts and grandma what you want want for Christmas and you literally have no clue, this list might be able help you and them out this holiday season.

1. Money money money.

Because the broke college student could use plenty of that.

2. Pay a bill, any bill

Lord knows we have enough of those to pay too.

3. A large donation to my college tuition

Again, there's enough of that that needs to be paid of for too...

4. An even bigger donation to my alcohol fund

What can I say, college drives us to drink.

5. Money for groceries

We're starving college students

6. Money for next semesters textbooks

Those things are literally $200.... a book

7. Starbucks gift cards

College students run on coffee

8. A day without setting an alarm

A day without setting an alarm is a day almost better than Christmas if we're being honestly.

9. A home cooked meal

Because the dining halls and microwave mac n cheese is no match for what's your momma can cook.

10. Free laundry

Because spending $1.25 a load is quit ridiculous

11. Gift cards. So many gift cards.

Gift cards literally mean free stuff, and who doesn't love free stuff ?

12. Oh, and a puppy would be nice too.

Because we all need a furry friend to cuddle with when Spring semester starts back up and the millions of hours of homework starts piling back up.

We don't ask for a lot, us college students, just a few dollars and a day to sleep in here and there. I hope this list gives you so many ideas of what to get your college student this holiday season!

female tv characters
We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
