Receiving Presents in your Mid-20s

Kitchenware is essential.

Receiving Presents in your Mid-20s

As a young kid, toys were always an essential gift to get during Christmas. But as you got older, your need for toys transitioned into the latest and greatest fashion trends or electronics. And still, as you get into your mid-20s cooking appliances, new bedding, sock and underwear, truly get you pumped for Christmas.

As a 22 year old last year, I received a gift that made me Tiger Woods fist pump. No, it wasn't the new iPhone, or an Xbox One/PS4, but it was a new crock pot. Huge. And to top it off, I got flannel bed sheets. FINALLY, I can sleep in my basement bedroom without freezing to death in the middle of the night.

While getting the new electronics and fashions for Christmas as great, nothing will ever top the excitement of tearing wrapping paper that reveals a new pair of socks or underwear, because one can never have enough socks and undies. Although, my mother will debate that I have enough... Sorry, but no I don't. I have enough to last me a week. And that's not enough. I change underwear, sometimes twice-a-day due to my loyalty to working out. But that is neither here nor there.

In all, embrace the undies, socks, cooking appliances, and new bedding. It's all essential to our well-being as we move forward in life. I hope this year I get some pots and pans. Merry Christmas everybody!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
