Shopping for your loved ones can be a little tricky, especially if they’re in college. Here’s what most college kids will be asking for this year:
1. An Extended Deadline
Okay, I know the professor assigned this paper two weeks ago, and I know that choosing to start it the night before it’s due is no one’s fault but my own, but I’d really appreciate it if the deadline was extended for another week.
2. Better Food
Nothing truly compares to the feeling of hopelessness you get when you’re extremely hungry, but you don’t feel like torturing yourself with dining hall food and you’re too broke to be ordering food for the third night in a row.
3. Money
When you get to college and you realize that stuff like books, food, clothes, and other basic necessities cost money, it comes as a depressing shock. But as long as your card doesn’t get declined and you don’t look into your bank account, everything is cool, right?
4. More Hours in a Day
Some of us would like to use these hours to be productive and get work done. Most of us would use them to catch up on sleep and whatever Netflix series we’re currently binge-watching
5. Financial Aid
Seriously, FASFA? You couldn’t give me a little something?
6. Better WiFi
Nothing beats having to wait five minutes for your WiFi to connect just so you can check your email
7. The Abolishment of 8 A.M. Classes
Literally NO ONE likes getting up for them, especially now, when it’s still dark and cold out. In fact, let’s get rid of all classes before 10 a.m. altogether. The world would be a much better place.
8. Dogs
Having therapy dogs come a couple times a week is like a beacon of hope shining through the darkness. Imagine if you just had that beacon all the time, following you everywhere with its tail wagging.
9. A Private Shower
There’s only so many times you can look at someone else’s hair spread all over the shower wall before something inside you dies.
10. Fuzzy Socks
It might be three in the morning and you’re only on the second paragraph of your essay, but at least your feet are warm.
