The 4 Things Every Adult Wishes They Could Ask Santa For

Dear Santa,

What's going on man? Mrs. Clause feeding you well? Keeping you jolly *wink wink*? How about those elves of yours? They holding down the fort?


Look Santa we need to talk. I know I am 25 years old and should be asking for anything but HELP A SISTER OUT! I have tried my best to be nice but you know people like to test my patience, but I PROMISE I tried. There are just a few things on my list I need you to consider.

1) Money.

If you can please dig deep down in a red sack of your last and find a money tree that would be great. Preferably one with nothing but 100's on it would be appreciated. Being an adult is expensive and I ain't got time for all that.

2) Time.

We need to talk about is whole 24 hours in a day thing. After working and sleeping there is no time to get anything done. Apparently, as an adult, you have to like keep your house clean and do dishes and wear clean clothes. Who would have thought?

3) Patience.

Mine have gone out the window as an adult and I'm going to smack a bitch if I don't find some more. I'll take that wrapped nicely in my stocking, please.

4) Friends.

I guess the older you get, the less you want to deal with people's nonsense which then results in not wanting to be around people and then your best friend becomes Netflix & a bottle of wine. People are just annoying and you end up hating them but I swear I am a really cool friend! I really just want a bigger phone book on my phone to be honest.

Look Santa, I know you are the big man up at the pole so you have a lot of say when it comes to the holidays, so if you could please hook a girl up that would be fabulous. I don't want much, just the practical things in life ya know?


I can't wait to wake up Christmas morning. Ya da man St. Nick!


Sincerely,

A desperate 25-year-old

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!)
