A College Student's Christmas List

During college your Christmas list seems to get simpler, but the need for the things on it becomes more real.

A College Student's Christmas List

As you get older your Christmas List seems to change. I think the most special Christmas List is made during your college years, though. The list during these years is so simple, desperate, cherished, and important all at the same time. So, here are some things you may find on every college kid's Christmas List.

1. To Pass All Classes


College can be hard, and finals flipping suck. So passing classes is definitely a much needed Christmas wish.

2. Money


Let's be honest, all college students are basically broke. So, money is always welcomed and much appreciated. Also, I already know what you're thinking, "why don't you just get money and buy everything else on the list?" Because no. Just no. It's not the same. There's something about having money in your wallet that you can spend on whatever you want and not things that you probably should/need to buy.

3. Taco Bell Gift Card


THIS. IS. GOLD. I repeat, GOLD. Taco Bell is like a cherished gift in college. Everyone basically loves it, and when you have gift cards you feel like you aren't even spending money. Also, if you happen to mention to your friends you have a $20 gift card to Taco Bell the possibilities are endless on what you can get them to do. You could easily have a clean room if you get them a couple of tacos.

4. Toilet Paper


I know this doesn't seem like a lot, but this stuff isn't cheap, especially if you don't hang with the cheap stuff. Stocking up a college student with toilet paper that will last them a couple of months would definitely make Christmas a merry one.

5. A Full Tank Of Gas


Go ahead and fill up your college kids gas tank because there is nothing more beautiful than looking ahead of you and seeing that dial all the way to the right. An instant smile happens when a college student sees their gas tank is full.

6. A Break From All The Questions


No, we probably don't know what we're going to do with the rest of our life. If we're single now, we'll probably be single for awhile. If we're dating, we probably won't get married any time soon because rings cost money and look at number two on our list.

7. A Whole Day To Sleep


Yes, this may be "wasting the day away" but we don't care. We just finished finals, which means staying up until the wee hours of the morning cramming for a test that we won't remember as soon as we finish. We're tired and sleeping all day sounds amazing. So let us do it, we'll probably be happier after we catch up on sleep anyways.

8. A Home Cooked Meal


No one enjoys college caf food, and nothing is as good as real food made in your home by your mom.

Here's hoping that all college students receive their struggle Christmas wishes because receiving any of things would be a blessing.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
