Ever thought about what a college student might want for Christmas?

12 Days Of Christmas For A College Student
Huffington Post

On the first day of Christmas my college gave to me:

Twelve boxes of tissues

12 boxes of tissues for all the tears that will be shed during finals week.


Eleven boxes of Ramen

I don’t each very much Ramen, but it is an extremely quick, easy, and delicious meal that us college students seem to love.


Ten puppies

Puppies honestly make everything better honestly… especially during finals week.


Nine more days to procrastinate studying

I have to admit that I fall into the trap of procrastination quite often, especially during the end of the semester. But what’s a few more day of procrastinating? *cough cough* I mean studying…definitely studying.


Eight feet of snow

This is extremely unrealistic if you go to school in the south like me, but a girl could only dream.


Seven cups of Starbucks coffee

I love Starbucks, but I am more of a tea drinker than coffee. But, if they were giving me free coffee, hell yeah I would drink it.


Six pairs of sweatpants

I’m more of a leggings type of girl, but when it comes to lounging around and studying, I love sweatpants. You can never have too many pairs.


Five hundred dollars

Who doesn’t need money? Going to college is expensive! From textbooks to food to that jacket that you really wanted but didn’t really need, who wouldn’t love $500?


Four handles of anything

Vodka, Whiskey, or Tequila: anything to soothe the pain of finals week.


Three opportunities for extra credit

You know how sometimes you end up falling behind in a class and just wish for some extra credit? Nothing would beat having multiple extra credit opportunities to boost that C to a B.


Two hours of peace and quiet in my room

Sometimes it is so nice to just be able to lay down with no distractions or worries. Two hours will never be enough, but it would surely help.


One email saying there is no final exam

This is possibly one of the best emails you will ever receive. Whether they tell you in the beginning of the semester or closer to the end, nothing can beat that feeling.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all, goodnight.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
