7 Things That College Students Want For Christmas

I'm pretty confident that people wouldn't argue with these.

7 Things That College Students Want For Christmas

In This Article:

I took the liberty of asking students around my campus, and in multiple group chats, what they wanted for Christmas. Out of at least 1,000 students, these were the most common answers and they are listed in order of "demand." Granted, it's a small number of people for a university, but I'm pretty confident that people wouldn't argue with most of these.

1. Free Tuition

I mean obviously. I don't even have to go in depth with this one. I can just imagine readers saying "OH MY GOD YES"

2. Money, money, and more money

We're college kids and we're always broke. Between tuition, bills, and necessities, we want some for extracurriculars too! This ranged anywhere from "cold hard cash" to giftcards, and wishing that credit cards didn't have a limit (even though some people already treat credit cards as such anyway).

3. Alcohol

Giphy

Again, we're college kids. This is obvious. We get booze for ourselves anyway, but do we need to remind you how we're broke? We want to give our bank accounts a rest and have Santa leave some refreshing beverages in our stockings. Thanks in advance mom and dad ;)

4. Electronics

Giphy

So many people wanted so many different things, so this is just the summary. It went anywhere from the newest phone from Apple and Android alike, laptops, cameras, game consoles, video games, you name it. We live in such a world nowadays that this is always going to be a demand and it's honestly getting kind of sad. Which is ironic because this is a technology based company and I choose to be online basically anytime, so go figure. Skynet will rise eventually. 🤷

5. Clothes 

Giphy

This season, next season, all the seasons! Especially when you live in Oklahoma, you need to be prepared for any type of weather, even in the winter. We manage to have all the seasons within a week all the time because our state can't make up its mind. Sometimes Oklahoma manages to create its own seasons and we don't even know what to do.

Shoes are this category too, because why not?

6. Sleep

Giphy

Just let us be lazy and sleep. It's not because we don't want to interact with the family (okay, maybe a little bit), it's just because sleep hasn't come over for a visit for a while and we miss it. Let us catch up on sleep and get to know it again. That's all we ask.

7. Bird Scooters

This was a thing on the Oklahoma State campus, as I'm sure it was on a lot of them. But we decided to be stupid with them in many different ways, so they got taken away. We still have Lime scooters around town, but those aren't allowed on campus either--and they're just not the same. WE WANT BIRDS BACK.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Holidays everyone!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
