Dear Santa.

Here Are 10 Things I Want For Christmas

Dear Santa, Here are 10 things that I want for Christmas.

1. No Debt

All and any colleges student will agree with me on this is. Like who really wants any debt. Debt is terrible, debt is stupid, debt is like an annoying itch on your back that doesn't go away. I don't know if you you know Santa but in order for me to get a job, I have to have a college education? And that a college education costs me around $100,000... or more.

2. More Sleep

I am always so tired. Like no matter how much I sleep I am still tired. I need sleep. If I don't have sleep I am a grumpy troll from under the bridge. Me without sleep is one ugly thing.

3. The Ability To Eat Endless Amounts of Fried Food, Without Any Consequences.

Fried everything. French FRIES. FRIED Oreos. FRIED Chicken Nuggets. FRIED Cheese. All of the FRIED fair food. Please give it to me. Like I really love fried food but you know it is not the best for our bodies. I could probably eat more fried food if I wanted to but I don't want my body to hate me.

5. A Summer With Fewer Bugs.

The one thing I hate about summer is the bugs. I hate them so much! They are annoying and yeah I know they help us. But still please at least keep them out of my house and away from my body. I don't want fruit flies invading my kitchen and I don't want mosquitos eating my body.

6. For Everyone To Just Get Along.
With everything going on lately in the world most of us are just hoping for a moment or two of peace this year. No more wars, no more fighting just some peace would be nice for once.

7. A Satisfying Life
One thing I notice with older people is that most say is that they wish they did more of what they loved. So I want to do things that I love. I want a job where I can make some money, be happy and do what I love. I want to have a house, a family, dogs and a few kids. I want to be able to travel and experience new things.

8. Puppies
Who doesn't want a cute, sweet, fluffy, cuddly, fluffy puppy to love. And then when they grow up they are still cute but they become you best friend.

9. Money To Pay For My Monthly Rent
I don't know how much it costs to live in the North Pole but, how ever much it is you probably got it under control. Where I live, a roof over your head doesn't come cheap. And it definitely isn't always easy coming up with that money, when you have no money but have 9173238481 other bills to pay.

10. Time For Love

But it's not just the experiences you have, it's the people you have them with. As life becomes busier and more complicated, time becomes harder. And I wish it wasn't. If I could only have one thing this Christmas, it would be to spend time with the people I really love. It's a simple request, yet not always an easy one.

XOXO,

A 22-Year-Old College Student

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

5 Untold Struggles Of The Short Friend

It's not always fun being fun-sized!

Appalachian State University National Writers Society

I'm the Short Friend. I've been the Short Friend since about the seventh grade. I'm the one who stands in the front of the photos, gets made fun of for their height, and still shops in the kids department.

This article is not for the Almost Short Friends, i.e. the 5'3" and 5'4" Friends. No no, this is for the Actually Short Friends, i.e. the Barely Scraping 5'1" and shorter Short Friends.

The Relatable Date

Don't deny it.

They talk to you like you're one of the guys, but you will NEVER EVER be included in "Bro" things

Even though you've heard the words, "Not you, a real girl" more times than you can count.

You need to caption almost every picture with a disclaimer that you aren't dating...

But at the same time, you never know whether or not to be offended when they say they'd never date you...

And your other friends are constantly telling you you were destined to be with each other.

You'd get all the girls if you were a boy because you walk them through how to get girls almost daily...

That being said, you have an opinion on EVERY girl they show you, and you aren't afraid to share it...

But they have opinions too, and that's why they'll be the first to tell you when a guy isn't treating you right... and then they'll do exactly the same thing to some girl a few days later...

And if they do happen to have a girl in their lives, she most likely hates you, because you know him better than she ever will...

But even after all that, you wouldn't trade them for the world.

No, I actually don't pay for my friends.

1. "You pay for your friends."

2. "All you do is party."

3. "You guys all look the same."

4. "You don't actually care about your Philanthropy."

5. "Bigs and littles are stupid/annoying."

6. "I would never want to be a part of that."

7. "You're wasting your money."

We get it — we're frustrated with you, too.

1. When they go out of their way to help you.

2. When they are cleaning up a section of the store.

3. When they deal with your children being heathens.

4. When they listen intently to your coupon problems.

5. When they ask you about opening a credit card or rewards card.

6. When you have to wait to get an item number or to talk to a manager.

It's not always fun being fun-sized!

1. Not wearing makeup is like stepping in a time machine

2. "Wow, how tall are you?!"

3. You don't realize how much you're craning your neck until you talk to someone as short as you.

4. Hugging your friends is just asking for a face full of boob for you and makeup on their shirt for them. Awkward.

5. You face retail discrimination
