Dear Santa (Burns Hargis),

This Christmas, us (the student body) have a few requests. This year, we have been ever so good. We cheered on our Cowboys every gameday, arrived on time to the majority of our classes and managed to put on the greatest homecoming in America. Our wishes are as follows.

1. A winning basketball team and coach

We have watched the rollercoaster of games, and we hope for the best. We want to see a great season.

2. No more classes in North Classroom Building

We actually really do love this building, just not the long walk to it.

3. Less parking tickets

All I know is that the majority of my extra expenses are due to the amount of parking tickets over the past 3 years.

4. University sponsored Uber's every Thursday through Saturday

Other campuses in Oklahoma participate in this generous idea, and we should, too. Let's keep the campus safe and keep our records clean.

5. Cancelling class with a 24-hour warning

Leaving a note on the classroom door for us to find when we arrive is something the Grinch would do.

6. No long lines to Murphy's, College Bar, Outlaws or Curty Shack (and no cutting for the football team)

This one explains itself.

7. Less construction

We are very appreciative of the beautiful new buildings on campus, but we are college students, not Dora the Explorer.

8. Later kickoff times next football season

We truly love our football team, tailgating and of course Boone Pickens Stadium; but it would be much more enjoyable at 7:00 pm at night.

9. Quicker/shorter lines at Chick-Fil-A, Caribou Coffee and Baja Fresh

Our 3 favorite hot spots in the union are extremely crowded between the hours of 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. It would make our lives so much easier if there was a solution to this problem.

10. Better artists at Calf Fry

Can Miranda Lambert make an appearance again?

11. Later operation hours at Cafe Libro

We love that the library is now open 24/5, but we would love it even more if Cafe Libro stayed open later for our late night cravings.

12. Fireworks in Boone Pickens Stadium (again)

One of my favorite memories as a student is when there were huge fireworks in BPS. Bring this back for a game or two next year?

Oklahoma State has been so good to us this year, and we couldn't imagine our college years spent anywhere else. And we promise to leave cookies and milk out for you this Christmas Eve, alongside our high GPAs and flawless resumes. We hope our wishlist finds you well. Merry Christmas, Burns.

Xoxo,

The hardest working, most deserving, kindest and best students in the nation. (Your favorite students in the nation).

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
