The holiday season has finally rolled around which means that college kids everywhere are running back to their hometowns for a few weeks to spend time with friends and family. During this time of year, giving gifts is a tradition but sometimes you don't always get what you want. This year, these are the 20 things a college student really wishes that they could ask for.
1. An unlimited supply of coffee.
When you're regularly running on two to five hours of sleep, you need something to get you through the day.
2. Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime subscriptions.
These subscriptions should come with your acceptance letter to give students a way to procrastinate.
3. A maid service.
Everyone has a college cleanliness horror story, so let's prevent that as much as possible.
4. Classmates who bring enough cake and cupcakes for the rest of the class on their own birthday.
Remember when it was expected for the birthday girl/boy to provide the treats and you got a break from class? That should happen again.
5. A job that pays more than minimum wage.
Any job is great in college but between rent, food, and books you almost have to choose one to eliminate due to your lack of funds.
6. Free groceries.
Ramen and Hot Pockets can only be consumed so much.
7. The ability to be exempt from all exams.
In high school, there was the option to exempt all of your exams if you had an A in the class... can we bring that back?
8. To have pizza parties during class like in high school.
Being rewarded with both pizza and a free day in class was the best!
9. One free day a week that can be spent napping or doing anything unproductive.
No responsibilities. Nothing to do.
10. Every restaurant to start offering free delivery.
The worst is when you're in a mood for food from a certain restaurant that doesn't deliver. Ugh, how dare they?
11. Microwaveable meals that taste like home cooking.
Nothing better than eating a cheap frozen meal that tastes like plastic.
12. Care packages that come monthly like a subscription service.
Knowing that you'll have treats and love every month would give every college student something to look forward to.
13. Student discounts at every high-end store.
Just because I'm poor doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to look nice too.
14. An all expenses paid vacation for the squad.
Squad goals. Instagram on point.
15. A room that doesn't come with a roommate.
Roommates can be great but sharing a room is the worst.
16. A room that's bigger than the size of a closet.
How are we expected to keep all of our stuff in there?
17. Sound proof walls.
Being able to hear everyone's conversations isn't always ideal.
18. A 4.0 GPA without having to try that hard.
A for effort. Am I right?
19. A guaranteed job out of college.
20. Free tuition.
The most important of all.
