A 20 Something-Year-Old Girl's Holiday Wish List

thoughtcatalog

Dear Santa (or anyone else that's planning on getting me a gift),

I know holiday shopping can be stressful, especially if you can't find the perfect present. If you're confused about what to get for a 20 something-year-old girl, here are a few of the gifts we would love to unwrap on Christmas morning.

1. A Sephora or Ulta gift card

Because makeup is expensive.

2. A Starbucks gift card

Coffee is always a good idea.

3. Anything from PINK and Victoria's Secret

A sweatshirt or comfy t-shirt would be amazing, but just about anything from here will work.

4. A Polaroid camera

Pictures are always necessary and polaroids are a cute way to hold on to special moments.

5. College gear

You can never have too many college sweatshirts.

6. Fuzzy/knit socks

They're so warm,cute and comfy .You can find them at Urban Outfitters, PINK and Forever 21.

7. Warm scarves

Big chunky scarves would be perfect for this chilly weather.

8. Oversized sweaters

It's sweater weather, so why not? You can find these just about anywhere.

9. Scented candles

One from Yankee Candle or Bath & Body Works would be perfect.

10. Boots

The more boots a girl has, the better. Plus if you end up getting the fuzzy or knit socks for her, she would need a pair of boots to wear them with.

11. Pandora Bracelets/Charms and Alex And Ani Bracelets

Any type of jewelry would be a good idea but Pandora and Alex And Ani bracelets always make me happy.

12. Athletic wear

You can never get enough athletic wear. Plus who doesn't want a new pair of Nike sneakers? Leggings are always a good idea too.

13. Money

Hey, if you can't think of a present, money is always a safe bet.

14. Coloring books

Yes, adults can color too. These books are perfect for relaxing and they're fun to fill out. You can find them at Barnes & Noble and probably at any other book store.

15. Warm/heated blankets

It's almost winter, so warm blankets would be appreciated.

16. Chocolate

You can never go wrong with chocolate.

17. Bath & Body Works

Because everything from here smells amazing.

18. Stuffed Animals

Stuffed animals are the cutest. Plus who could turn down a fluffy teddy bear?

19. A purse or a tote bag

One from Michael Kors, COACH or Vera Bradley would be nice.

20. And room decor

Inspirational canvases, fairy lights, furniture, wall decals and fluffy pillows are all examples of gifts that would be perfect.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

University of Southern California

3883

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

13 Thoughts College Students Have On The First Day Of Class

Syllabus week doesn't exist.

Hunter College

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1341

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
