Gift Ideas For the College Student

'Tis the season for holiday shopping. All the malls are lit up with their Christmas decor, the shops are playing Christmas music and the line to get your picture taken with Santa takes up half the mall. If you're like me and you've been asked a millions times by your mom, dad, aunts and grandma what you want want for Christmas and you literally have no clue, this list might be able help you and them out this holiday season.

1. Money money money.

Because the broke college student could use plenty of that.

2. Pay a bill, any bill

Lord knows we have enough of those to pay too.

3. A large donation to my college tuition

Again, there's enough of that that needs to be paid of for too...

4. An even bigger donation to my alcohol fund

What can I say, college drives us to drink.

5. Money for groceries

We're starving college students

6. Money for next semesters textbooks

Those things are literally $200.... a book

7. Starbucks gift cards

College students run on coffee

8. A day without setting an alarm

A day without setting an alarm is a day almost better than Christmas if we're being honestly.

9. A home cooked meal

Because the dining halls and microwave mac n cheese is no match for what's your momma can cook.

10. Free laundry

Because spending $1.25 a load is quit ridiculous

11. Gift cards. So many gift cards.

Gift cards literally mean free stuff, and who doesn't love free stuff ?

12. Oh, and a puppy would be nice too.

Because we all need a furry friend to cuddle with when Spring semester starts back up and the millions of hours of homework starts piling back up.

We don't ask for a lot, us college students, just a few dollars and a day to sleep in here and there. I hope this list gives you so many ideas of what to get your college student this holiday season!

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.
