8 Things College Students Want For Christmas

If you have a college student in your life, you might be wondering what to get them for Christmas. These are a few ideas if you were wondering. Sometimes it is hard to tell family and friends what we really want, though we aren't asking for much. Trust me college students are not asking for much, but here are a few things every college student wants for Christmas.

1. To pay for our college tuition.

Should I have to explain this one? College is expensive. I cannot begin to describe how much money it is. Any help towards paying for it is fine by us. It seems to be going up and up every year and it just kills us a little when we think about how much it is going to be. I mean after loans and everything we get from the college, having someone help is totally worth it, since I mean you will get to see us walk across the stage at the end.

2. Money for college books.

I cannot even think about books without stress. They are expensive. Really expensive. Just give us money for them and we will be content. The price of books though keep going up and up and the more we think about what they cost, the more we die inside. It is not easy paying for those books that we might not even open.


3. Free restaurant gift cards.

Free food. We are so okay with free food. Free money for food. Just food in general that we don't have to pay for. School food sucks. Badly. Having the same food day in and day out, it gets old after a while. Plus food gift cards are the best especially if we are up late studying and want food, you will have given us the best gift in the world. Late night food run we don't have to pay for.

4. Laundry money

It can add up. Free money to do laundry the more we can do it. There are times where the laundry piles up more and more and we just don't want to have to pay so much money every time to do it. So if you are willing to give us money to pay for it, we will thank you forever.

5. Gas money.

Gas can be expensive. It would be nice to have free gas. Especially since we are broke college students who can't always pay for our own gas.

6. Cash

I don't even have to explain why on this one.

7. Sleep.

We just need all sleep. We are tired. We study, we eat, we do homework, we just want to sleep. This will make us feel so much better in more than one way. And we will not be so grouchy when we are home. Plus we don't have time to sleep much at college.

8. Free food/home cooked meal.

Again, food. Free food. Plus home cooked food is so much better than food at college. Just feed us and let us sleep.

No matter what, just deal with your stressed out college student. We are trying. Life happens and we are just simply asking for things that will make our lives at college easier. Its not to much to ask for.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
