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.
