12 Things I'll Put On My Grown Up Christmas List

Oh Boy! I Hope It's Socks!

With Halloween ending, the next holiday season starts up - CHRISTMAS! Everyone knows the best part of Christmas: Santa and the free presents that you just have to spend time with your family for. Now, of course, it's a high pressure season. What in the world are you going to ask Santa for this year? If you're in college and trying to be a fake adult like myself, here are 12 wishes going on my "Hey, I'm a grown up now" Christmas list.

1. Socks.

The lamest gift to a seven year old is now so important. Since doing my own laundry, there has been an increase in sock stealing elves, and the socks I like are expensive - I can buy like 3 slices of pizza for the money I'd spend on a pair of socks - so let's have Santa replace them.

2. Place specific gift cards.

As a kid, Santa getting you a gift card was unheard of (unless it was an iTunes gift card for your new iPod). But if Santa got me gift cards for Starbucks, Wawa, Dominos, and one for gas, Santa just saved me all the money and worrying I'd have to do.

3. Cleaning supplies.

On the off chance you ever clean your dorm room/apartment/house, cleaning supplies are EXPENSIVE. Imagine Christmas morning, you unwrap a bulk buy of Clorox wipes would make Santa the best person ever..

4. Mandala coloring books.

Yeah. A coloring book. For a grown up. It's to de-stress from all the pressures of hard half adult college life like studying, and dealing with your TA's accent, and that boy you like not texting back and your professor not answering your 1 am email begging for help. College is hard, ok?!

5. Sleep.

Can I ask Santa for sleep? Can he help me with that?

6. Less responsibilities.

Santa, if you can just take some of this stuff off of my plate that would be cool. You can pick whatever you wanna take. I'm not pushy.

7. Santa's Netflix password.

Asking Santa for his Netflix password would be amazing. What if Santa loves The Office just as much as you do? OMG. Plus, how great is it to know that Netflix will never notify you that you've missed a payment because it's Santa's treat!

8. A take home elf.

Borrowing one of Santa's elves for the year would be so lit.

9. Checks.

How does one get checks? @Santa help a girl out! Also, can they have cute puppies on them too!

10. Seven snow days.

If Santa can make it snow on campus enough to cancel classes, that would be #goals.

11. Paper towels and toilet paper.

Who even knew that people bought this and there just wasn't an unlimited supply in the closet? This is what moving out of Mom's gets you.

12. A college degree and a job after graduation.

This one is a LOT to ask for, but Santa, if you can hook me up with this one, consider all the other things on my list nulled.

In short, when your family asks you "What are you going to ask Santa for this year?" at least now you have some "adulty" answers. So Santa, when receiving my list that will look eerily similar to this this year, just remember how good I was all year. I've only skipped like three classes a term, I didn't cause any scenes, and I usually fold all of my laundry. Basically, I'm a pretty decent fake adult. Here's to us, fake college adults! Everyone get some sleep.

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.
