The "Twelve Days Of Christmas" As Told By A College Student

We all know the original "Twelve Days Of Christmas" song. And to be honest, while it's a classic and I can't deny that it's catchy, it's probably my least favorite Christmas song out there. Like, what even is a partridge? Why are the hens French? Is one golden ring not enough, do you really need five? And what exactly are the lords leaping about?

So he is my reworked version of the song, hopefully, more relatable to the college kids out there who are just hanging on, struggling to make it through final's week and get to the holidays.

So here are the 12 days of a college student's Christmas:

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.
