What College Kids REALLY Want For Christmas

Santa, help a girl out.

What College Kids REALLY Want For Christmas

Dear Santa,

With the holidays fast approaching I've realized that I have neglected to write you my Christmas wish list! I've been a really good student this year. I've only had a few mental breakdowns (okay, more than a few), and my anxiety is practically gone (also not true). I know that these days, it seems that college kids have gotten more and more difficult to buy for! I thought I would help you out and write an ultimate gift list for any college student.


1. "Class is Canceled" Emails

I am honestly the happiest I have been in a long time when I wake up to see that class is canceled. It is even better when that is your first class of the day and you get to sleep in!

2. Not having to purchase required textbooks!



ESPECIALLY the ones that we never open after the first week.

3. Sleep

I'm not talking about the 5 minute naps we take between classes. I'm talking a full 8 hours (AT LEAST) with a comfortable bed, nice soft pillows and plenty of zzzz's.

4. Money

I mean, I don't need to be a Rockefeller, but I would like to be able to shop at classier joints than the Dollar Tree.


5. Puppy sightings on campus


Okay but Santa, do you REALLY understand how magical it is when you can spontaneously pet a dog?!

6. Food

But not like... food that comes with microwaveable instructions.

7. Every week to be syllabus week!

I don't mean to go over expectations for the entire semester, but I could really get used to having minimal stress!

8. A 4.0 GPA

I don't believe these exist in college. Please prove me wrong.

9. Getting able to get into all of the classes you need

Hallelujah! Scheduling classes can be like the Purge. Just once, I would like no hassle and to get into all the classes I need.

10. No Finals


Finals suck and make people cry.

11. To stop procrastinating

I can't study until I take this Buzzfeed quiz. It tells me what kind of cheese I am. I must know.

12. More sleep


I'm just really tired, okay?

13. Being able to shower without shoes


Is this the real life?!

Santa, any of these gifts would be perfect for any college student on your list. Just remember, especially after all of us dealing with finals week, we all could probably use a little sleep. Can't wait to see what goodies you've left me under the tree!

Merry Christmas!

To those who celebrate, you just spent an entire day cooking an elaborate meal with all of your favorite foods. You probably ate your body weight in pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes. What happens now? Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
