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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
