The Christmas of your Senior year in college is basically your last shot at your family buying you a sh*t ton. As Seniors, though, we are planning our lives post-grad. This is the gateway to the big leagues, and this is the last chance to attempt to get other people to buy you what you need.

Practicality is key.

1. Money

Obvi, the most important. This leads to the most freedom and best chance of being able to buy what you actually need and not another stocking stuffer.

2. Left-overs to take back to school

The longer you can go without eating in the caf or cooking for yourself, the better.

3. Wool Socks

It's the small things.

4. A nice planner

A gift that'll help you maybe get your life together.

5. Gift Cards

Kind of like Money, but your relatives feel less guilty giving it to you. It'll make them feel like they put thought into your gift, but you still get what you want.

6. Sweaters to last a lifetime

Good sweaters are too expensive but paramount to a happy adult life.

7. Cotton Underwear

Honestly, just like the wool socks, it's the small things.

8. Quality Rain boots

Wellies can be super expensive, but a good pair can last a lifetime. A gift that will keep on giving.

9. Money

10. Alcohol

dRelatives know the good stuff and maybe can show you something better than Natty.

11. Netflix, HBO Go, HULU passwords

Bonus points if you just write the passwords on the card holding the money. Honestly, they don't need to even buy you your own account. Just let you use theirs.

12. A NICE winter jacket

No more “drunk jackets” that can just be left at a frat house, I am stocking up for a real life with hopefully enough money for coat checks at the club.

13. Starbucks gift cards

I won't feel so guilty for buying expensive coffee if it’s basically free

14. Money

"Got money on the mind, and my mind on the money"

So quick share your list with your fam, so they don't continue to think you're a child and buy you something silly.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
