10 Things Every College Student Wants For Christmas

As we're coming up on Christmas and every college student is getting asked about what they want this year, here's your guide:

1.Money

All we do is go to classes, there is never time to work. We are always looking for those few extra bucks to get a coffee or a new pair of leggings.

2.No final exams

STRESS. Lots of it. Let's just cancel all of them and go straight to Christmas.

3.Homemade, edible food

That classic casserole that your mom makes every time you go home. Those endless snacks from the cabinet. No more ramen!

4.A comfy bed

A bed that fits both of your legs and does not look like a big changing table.

5.Family

Even just being in the same house as them for some time is therapeutic enough. Knowing they are there if you need them is enough.

6.Someone to do their laundry

No more hauling that laundry basket 3 floors down. Time for someone else to take charge of your life because it has only been a few months and you are sick of it.

7.12 uninterrupted hours of sleep

Goodnight, enough said.

8.Showering without flip flops

Shown above is the dance we will all be doing when we are at home in our own shower. That hot water that actually has pressure, thank god.

9.No questions about college

"What are you majoring in?" "How has the first semester gone?" "What are your grades like?"

10.Hometown friends

You know who they are. Everytime you see them you feel like you are back in hgh school having a sleepover movie night.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
