The Basic Christmas List
Phys.org

As finals week begins and the semester comes to a close, college students are looking forward to the day that they come home. Winter break also means Christmas is nearing, and often, shopping for college students can be hard. Shopping for females is not that hard however, if you know what to look for. They like clothes, food, and anything fluffy. Compiled below is a list of things that are sure to make your college student happy.


1. Fuzzy socks.

Especially christmas ones.


2. Fuzzy blankets.

The $25 ones from Target are always just slightly out of a college student's budget.


3. Fuzzy sweaters.

It's like hugging a puppy.


4. Anything else that is fuzzy.

Just let us all be soft and warm and happy.


5. Makeup.

Just buy me all of Sephora. Please and thanks.


6. Blanket scarves.

The easiest way to dress up an outfit when you're too lazy to try.


7. Candles.

Just because they aren't allowed in dorms, doesn't mean they aren't used in dorms.


8. Bath bombs.

Because all of winter break will be spent taking the baths we don't get to take in college.


9. Mugs.

Of any kind. Literally, any kind.


10. A Yeti Cup.

They are the newest "it" thing, and they are a must when walking to class in the morning.


11. Victoria's Secret.

Seven for $27 is every girl's favorite thing to hear.


12. A Polaroid camera.

Because who doesn't love tiny pictures of themselves on film?


13. Gift cards.

Of any kind. Food, clothes, it doesn't matter. College kids love to hear the word "free money".


14. FOOD!!!!!!!!

Because one of the worst things is having to survive off of campus food for a whole semester.


15. Headphones.

Honestly though, where does our favorite pair always seem to end up?


16. Screen protectors.

Tempered glass ones work best, because college students can not afford to spend $100 on fixing their screen when they drop it.


17. Subscriptions.

Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple music etc. These are simple gifts for college students that are decently cheap to keep up with every month and are perfect for using in their free time.


Happy Holidays, college students.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
