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.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
