4 Things We All Need For A College Christmas Wish List

Christmas is coming.

A.K.A the best time of the year.

Each year, some of us out there wake up the morning of November 1st and scream at our friends, "What do you want for Christmas, punk?"

And while everyone knows and understands that the holiday season is about giving, this idea becomes lost when we see all the wonderful things we would love to buy our friends and family, yet our bank account says "not this year, honey." This is where we make a grave mistake.

Truthfully, your friends don't care what you give them. They'll love anything you do for them- it is the thought that counts. (And if they hate the gift and get salty with you? Drop 'em because they clearly don't appreciate you and no one has time to be mistreated).

If you're running short on ideas on what to get your friends this holiday season, look no further than the list below. All of your basic college desires and essentials have been listed below for holiday shopping convenience at little-to-no cost to you.

1. A Good GPA

Unfortunately, college is not Animal Crossing, so you cannot just take your GPA and mail it to your friend via a letter only for them to open it 3 months later when it is irrelevant, but you can still help them out. Drag them to the library and force feed them Starbucks until they complete an entire week's worth of work! Happy Holiday's, friend!!!

2. A Puppy

No one can afford a real dog in college, that is entirely too much money spent on food, toys and other care related items, so just purchase your loved one a stuffed animal instead. This way they are able to carry it from class-to-class while bawling their eyes out because they are still failing!

3. A Gift Card to Target

Who doesn't love Target? It is the perfect place to go when you want to forget you are a broke college student attempting to live their life to the fullest, but is doing a terrible job at doing so. All you need is to load $5 onto a gift card and let your friend loose in the dollar section. They'll be able to pick up all of the unnecessary things they desire to give themselves temporary happiness during their long hours of mourning over the death of their GPA. (Thanks, fuzzy socks!)

4. YOU!

Your friendship is the greatest and most affordable gift of all! Why let your friend drown in the college life alone? Join them! (We all know suffering is better when your friends are also suffering with you). You will be an unified team, prospering through this experience (in your dreams) together!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
