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

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!

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
