25 Things College Students Really Want For Their Birthday

With my 19th birthday fast approaching, my mom, dad, grandparents, and friends have been asking me for gift ideas. In my recent years, I had never struggled with coming up with a list of a few things that I needed or wanted. In my adolescent years, the newest Barbies and baby dolls were on the top of the list. In my early teens, I started to develop a weird obsession with Bath & Body Works, so candles, lotions, and perfumes were the things I asked for. As I've gotten older, it's been harder and harder to come up with ideas for presents because, as cliché as it sounds, I've realized that the things that I really want either can't be bought or are completely irrational (unfortunately). Moral of the story: the only thing you can really give us is your love and support...and maybe a few Starbucks gift cards.

1. No debt!

2. A 4.0...without the work.

3. An endless supply of comfort food.

4. A normal sleep schedule.

5. A perfect body...again, without the work.

6. A bank account that doesn't make you cringe when you see your balance.

7. An immunity to all colds during plague season.

8. A boyfriend or girlfriend that isn't imaginary.

9. To bring my dog with me to school.

10. To eat Easy Mac every day without gaining 50 pounds.

11. Someone to do my laundry every weekend.

12. Shower water that doesn't fluctuate temperature every minute.

13. No emails for one day.

14. Clear skin.

15. One day without WiFi issues.

16. To nap and actually feel refreshed after waking up.

17. Thicker walls between dorm rooms.

18. Cancelled classes when it's too cold or raining.

19. To be able to finish your business in the bathroom before the toilet auto-flushes.

20. To not procrastinate every single assignment.

21. To wear sweatpants to class without feeling judged by both yourself and others.

22. To be able to drink coffee every morning without getting coffee breath.

23. Homework passes.

24. Time for a social life.

25. To actually have a productive Sunday.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
