The Basic Broke Girl's Christmas Wish List

Happy Holidays!

As a junior in college and as a very broke person, when I am asked what I want for Christmas, it's honestly pretty practical. The things I want and the things I need are both very similar and are usually very practical. That isn't to say I don't have my minor wants like any other college aged female, but I do have priorities. If your stuck on what to get the non-materialistic girl in your life, this may be of help to you.


1. SOCKS


I literally can never have too many socks. Socks are a girls best friend, the can be cute and fashionable, but they are always practical for when it starts getting cold out.

2. Gloves, Hats, and Scarves

More practical items that help keep you warm during the winter season. You can't have too many of any of these. They can come in handy, and I firmly believe every person should have a backup pair in their car for an emergency.

3. Car Seat Warmer

This was the BEST gift I ever received (next to my car safety emergency kit.) This is perfect for if your person has an older car that doesn't have self heating seats. No one likes a cold tooshy.

4. Food Gift Cards

There is nothing better than eating for you didn't pay for. Enough said.

5. A Bucket of Cleaning Supplies

This stuff is mad expensive and majorly needed! A box with rubber gloves, Clorox bleach, and other cleaning essentials is sure to bring a smile to my face.

6. New Bedding

This is also very expensive for us and soo needed. Having an extra pair of sheets is a godsend when you don't have time to clean yours that night when you really need them clean.

7. A Sentimental Gift

We are non-materialistic. All of my favorite gifts have been those that were homemade, like a picture of a close friend and I in a frame, or even a hand-cut snowflake with a cute quote. The holidays aren't supposed to be about getting things, but remembering those around us are the true gifts in our lives.


Now get out there! Go finish those finals and go celebrate the holidays! you deserve it.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
