Here Are 10 Things I Want For Christmas

Dear Santa.

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

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
