All I Want For Christmas Is...

Unlike Mariah Carey, I don't know what I want for Christmas.

All I Want For Christmas Is...
Golden Boys and Me

I’m sure everyone has been asked what they want for Christmas at least once in their lives. If anybody is like me, they have a hard time answering that question at this point in their lives. Mariah Carey wants you, Alvin the Chipmunk just wants a hula-hoop, a few little kids just want their two front teeth, and others want a hippopotamus (Cheyenne). Hopefully, others can get a few ideas from my list, or see how relevant they are to a college student’s life. I really just have no clue what I want as a present, but after a lot of thought, I managed to scrape up a list.

A boyfriend

One Direction

Better yet; a boyfriend from One Direction.
I am definitely kidding about all of those things. Sure, having a boyfriend might be nice, and meeting One Direction would make my life complete (fangirl exaggeration). I really don’t need either of those. I’m fine without a boy, and I feel like if I met One Direction I would just freak out and babble a few fragments of words and maybe a sentence.

Now onto the real list.

Books. Any books.

I have an insatiable love for reading and books. I would love to get a book from anyone. If any of my friends need to get a cheap present for me, get me your favorite book because I love experiencing the joy that someone else does when they read a book. Or go a step further and buy my textbooks for next semester!

Painting Supplies

A canvas, or some paint, or paint brushes. Anything really would be great. Painting really helps me relax, and that can also make your life better. Most likely if you buy me paint supplies, I will paint you something because my wall space is very limited, and soon yours will be too.

College Tuition

Every college student can tell you that paying for college really stresses them out. So, if anyone could fork up like $20,000 for tuition that would be greatly appreciated.

Food

Food is always a safe bet for most people. Other than me. If you would like to get me some goodies that are gluten and dairy free, please do. I would love it if I got some sweets that I can actually eat.

Hugs

It goes without saying that hugs make life better. Lately, I seem to not be getting as many hugs as I would like. Next time you see me, a nice hug would be nice for the both of us.

A break

Every student, and probably everybody else at this point, tend to be struggling at this point in the year. After months of working hard and never really having a chance to just sit without having to worry about deadlines and work, we all just need some time to unwind. So, if somehow there is a way to just pause time and just give me a few more days to relax without having an agenda, that would be great.

Love from friends and family

To be honest, I really don’t want anything other than love from friends and family. Just knowing that I have people there for me makes me feel so much better. So, if anyone really wants to get me the best present, just be my friend. I have already been blessed to have all of you in my life, so just continue our streak and be there for me. I appreciate all of my friends and family being the best present.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you enjoy spending time with your family and friends.

P.S. A puppy would also be nice.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
