An Open Letter To Santa Claus

Dear Santa Claus,

I understand that you are pretty busy up in the North Pole right now considering that we have less than a month left until Christmas. You're probably wondering why I am writing to you about my Christmas wish list even though I am almost twenty-one years old. You see, the thing is, back in middle school and high school I thought I knew everything and had the whole "adult" thing under control. During my teen years I thought letters to Santa were way to childish for me. Unfortunately, as I am approaching real adulthood, I'm beginning to realize that there are quite a few things that I could use this Christmas. I remember when I used to send you my Christmas list and you'd never disappoint. Some of my favorite Christmas memories are waking up to the newest American Girl doll or red Schwinn beach cruiser under the Christmas tree from you. I figured that if I wrote to you again this year, you could maybe help me out again. Don't worry, I'm not asking for anything major that will throw off the elves' production process. Most of the things I am asking for aren't even material items! This year for Christmas I would like (in no particular order):

1. The ability to go a week without any sleep. (Or maybe you could just add a few extra hours in the day, either works.)

2. The ability to eat and drink unlimited junk food and not gain weight.

3. A magical closet that restocks itself with the latest clothes from Urban Outfitters each night.

4. A cloned version of myself that goes to all my lectures while I sleep in.

5. A lifetime of new "Gossip Girl" episodes.

6. The inability to feel FOMO. (So that I will actually choose to stay in for once.)

7. A 4.0 GPA.

8. The ability to transport myself anywhere so I can travel the world.

9. For my parents to stop asking why I'm still single.

10. A photographic memory and speed reading skills.

11. Perfect interviewing skills.

12. A clear career choice and plan.

13. Excellent cooking skills.

14. Knowledge of how to file taxes.

15. A puppy that doesn't need training or cost a lot of money.

16. The ability to never procrastinate again.

17. A lifetime supply of all Trader Joe's products.

18. The body of a Victoria's Secret Angel.

19. The ability to see my family whenever I get homesick.

20. Free Starbucks that appears anytime I snap my fingers.

21. To never have to go to the dentist again.

22. A year long tan.

23. A perfect immune system.

24. The ability to know when someone is being fake.

25. An extra day between Sunday and Monday.

I know this list might seem long, but I promise I've been good this year! Merry Christmas!

Sincerely,

College girls everywhere

P.S. Please say hello to Mrs. Clause and Rudolph too.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

music sheet

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
