10 Things On Every College Student's Christmas List

HandsettBattery

Oh, how the seasons have changed. I used to ask for designer clothes, $200 boots, the hottest trends, and latest gadgets. Now, I'd be perfectly content if I got an endless supply of Ramen Noodles for Christmas. Is this what growing up feels like?

Here is a list of 10 things on every college student's Christmas list...

1. Sleep

It would be nice to get more than 5 hours of sleep occasionally…and not having to set an alarm in the morning would be pure bliss.

2. Good Grades

Basically...

3. Home Cooked Meals

Because dining hall food just doesn’t cut it.

4. A Large Donation of Money

Because college is expensive.

5. Comfy Clothes

No one cares about looking cute; comfort is all that matters in college. You can never have too many leggings and oversized tshirts.

6. Endless Supply of Caffeine

A necessary component of late night studying.

7. No Stress

Just for once, I’d like to be stress free and be able to relax.

8. Canceled Classes

This is always a blessing.

9. A Finished To-do List

If everything on my never ending to-do list was checked off, I wouldn’t know what to do with myself.

10. Family Time

Because when you’re away at college you don’t get to spend enough quality time with your family.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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.
