If people were dogs, college students would probably be that weird breed that doesn’t really have a name, but whose personalities are both fun loving and unpredictable. In other words, we are a strange pod of society, essentially balancing on the tightrope between adulthood and childhood. I am unsure of which one, adult or child, I am supposed to act like and I think my parents are confused, too. Adults want, like, crock-pots and fake plants for Christmas. Children want toys and bikes. I don't know what I'm supposed to want at this age.
Regardless, the child in everyone comes out when the holidays sneak up. Here is a list of things any college student probably wants this Christmas, ranging from things you’d expect from a 5-year-old to that which you may expect from a 50-year-old.
We want…
- Cash.
- 14 puppies.
- Starbucks gift cards.
- A lifetime supply of K-cups.
- Motivation.
- " Harry Potter" to come to Netflix.
- Chocolate.
- Journals.
- More time with family.
- Teddy bears.
- 18 more puppies.
- Maybe even a kitten.
- Or six kittens.
- Mom’s cooking.
- Coffee mugs.
- Some more cash.
- Chipotle gift cards.
- Sleep.
- A lot of cookies.
- T-swizzle on Spotify.
- Justin Bieber tickets.
- All of the concert tickets.
- Mopeds, if you’re hip.
- Socks.
- I would say a few more puppies.
Basically, if it is caloric, spendable, or cuddle-able, a college student will be grateful to receive it this Christmas. I don’t know what I’m supposed to want this year, but these are the things that I know I do want, and I hope my family and friends take note. Merry Christmas to all and to all a peaceful week of shopping.
