Christmas time is a time for giving and a time for receiving.

Giving gifts to younger kids and even older adults are usually pretty simple. One of the biggest things parents and relatives probably have a hard time with is what to get for a their college student. Because, we're kind of the middle between a teenager and adult. Our style and likes and interests and hobbies are constantly changing, it can be hard to keep up with. So, what do you get us?

Here are 10 things we college kids would ACTUALLY like to see under the tree this year:

1. Gas cards

I mean, I hate having to spend money on gas every week, we're already broke as it is. A gas card is a great gift for college students, helps us save a little money.

2. Pay a bill

C'mon help your struggling, broke college kid out. It's just one bill.

3. Pay a month of rent

I would be eternally grateful if my only Christmas gift was someone paying my rent for the month.

4. Room/apartment decor

It's our first little place we can call our own....kinda. Room and apartment decorations make perfect gifts for college girls, we love to make our place look home-y and chic.

5. Visa gift cards

These are perfect to college students. A lot of the time, your family doesn't know what to get you, Visa gift cards give us the freedom to pick out and buy what we want.

6. Any kind of food gift cards

We love to eat out. We love fast food. Starbucks, Chic fil a, Walmart(for groceries), you name it and we will probably put it to good use. We loooove food.

7. Kitchenware

A nice set of pots and pans is always nice, as well as a good set of dishes. They make great long-term gifts and they're a good "adult" gift too.

8. Lottery tickets

Let's test our luck and see how much money we can win.

9. Cash

I mean, you can never go wrong with giving a college student money.

10. Supplies

We're going to need new school supplies for the new semester coming up, we would actully really like them as Christmas gifts.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
