The 50 Things On Every College Girl's Christmas List

This is how you get gift-giving right.


1. Money

You can never go wrong with some cash.

2. Bralettes

Just in case you missed it, bralettes are the next big trend and everyone's latest obsession.

3. Thick Knit Beanies

We like being cute and cozy.

4. Coloring Books

Yes, we are adults. We are grown. But, we also like to color.

5. Slippers


Instead of lacing up shoes every time we want to leave our dorm or go get the mail, we would love just to slip on some furry slippers.

6. Headphones

Headphones are a necessity to survive college and an extra set is always appreciated.

7. Cards Against Humanity

Secret: Girls love to play raunchy card games just as much as the next guy does.

8. Stapler

Tip: When going to college get your own stapler. It is a hassle to ask a professor or friend every time you need to staple something for a research paper. This would also make a good stocking stuffer!

9. Staples for the Stapler

This may seem silly, but when you need to hurry and go to class but you have already used your last staple, it is a very depressing day.

10. Notebooks

Believe it or not, students are already running out of paper after their first semester.

11. INK, INK, INK

Ink is expensive AF. We all will be very appreciative that the money will not be coming out of our own pockets.

12. Gift Cards

If you are the kind of person that does not like to give cash, because it is not personal, then that is fine. I will personally and happily accept all gift cards.

13. Massage

A certificate for a professional massage is a fantastic gift- especially considering all the stress we have been under for the past 16 weeks.

14. Food

Care packages to take back to school with us would be amazing. Going back to cafeteria food will not be easy for any of us.

15.Gas Cards

Driving back and forth from school to home really puts a dent in some of our savings. Gas cards are always a nice treat.

16. Oil Change

Some of us have to travel long distances from home. Certificates for oil changes are nice and help us to adult a little less.

17. Fuzzy Blankets

Ladies are obsessed with blankets and partying almost as much as this sloth is.

18. Pencils

You would think we would learn to not lose our pencils as much as we did in high school, but some things never change.

19. Quarters

Quarters are essential for doing laundry. If you have some extra quarters sitting around, give them to a college student.

20. Hats

Yes, 8 AMs are tragic, but hats are a blessing when you can stroll around the whole day with bed head and no one will know.

21. University Gear

No matter who you are, you always love reppin' your school. Shirts, hats, you name it, we'll wear it.

22. Books for Dummies

Sometimes we need a little bit more than a textbook to learn.

23. Furniture

Most of us will be moving or are already living in apartments. Since many apartments are not furnished, we will happily accept any sleeper sofas or tables you are willing to give up or buy for us.

24. Furry Boots

If the temperature is below 50 degrees, you better believe girls will be bringing out their furry boots.

25. Sorority Apparel

When a girl is initiated into a sorority, the merchandise becomes part of their life. Any hat, scarf, shirt, jacket with their sorority's letters on it, you name it - they want it.

26. Coffee

Girls are scary without their caffeine. Anything coffee related makes for a great present.

27. Books

For once we could actually read something other than a textbook which is very encouraging.

28. Blanket Scarves

All girls love a good blanket scarf that can dress up any plain-jane outfit.

29. Chapstick

One Word: Stocking Stuffer.

30. Make-Up

I am not trying to be inappropriate, but every girl loves Naked.

31. Inspirational Canvases

When we are having a rough day, inspirational canvases are a good self-esteem booster.

32. Fuzzy Socks

I do not know a single college girl that does not love fuzzy socks.

33. Cute Mugs

Even if you drink hot cocoa instead of coffee, every college girl needs a cute mug to get her day started the right way.

34. Yeti

Yeti cups are good for keeping your drink cold while you are in class all day long.

35. Glow in the Dark Nike Yoga Pants

That way, not only are we lit, but our pants are as well.

36. Candles


For some reason, girls go crazy over candles. Don't ask.

37. Anything "Matte"

Lipstick, fingernail polish, etc. Girls go crazy over anything and everything matte.

38. Bath Bombs

Bath bombs are the bomb.

39. Cute Workout Clothes

Then we won't have any excuses. This will actually give us the motivation we need to hit the gym - and we can be cute and fancy while doing so.

40. Starbucks Gift Cards

We are college students. Do not be surprised if this is at the top of your student's Christmas list.

41. Perfume

Girls like to smell nice, but we do not have money to pay for Victoria's Secret's "Bombshell" no matter how bad we may want it.

42. Bath and Body Works

Ladies are obsessed with Bath and Body. Don't believe me? Check it out on Black Friday. Just remember - you were warned.

43. Hair Ties


Because you can never have too many ponytail holders.

44. Purses

Coach, Kate Spade, Michael Kors - We want them all.

45. Chocolate

Enough said.

46. Mani-Pedis

Girls love manicures and pedicures. Not only do their fingers and toes look pretty, but it is relaxing, too!

47. Converse



Because we all love being retro and you can never have too many Converse.

48. Free Tuition

We all would appreciate it if someone could pay off our student loans.

49. 4.0 GPA

If Santa is real, all I am asking for is a 4.0.

50. Dogs

Because let's be honest, you can never go wrong with buying a girl a dog.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
