Christmas is almost here, and with Christmas comes final season for already exhausted college students. With exam after quiz after paper after presentation as close as the end may seem to others, it always seems just out of reach for college students. And there are a few things these tired college students would appreciate for Christmas.

1. Heated blanket

Even if you crank the heat in dorms, there will be times where your room feels freezing. Help aid a tired college student's next comfortable nap by gifting them one of these this holiday season.

2. Bizzy Espresso Shots

From personal experience, coffee is one of the only things that gets college students through finals season. But sometimes you need a little something more. And Bizzy Espresso Shots are just the thing. Two shots of espresso packaged in a cute little bottle, the espresso shots work almost immediately and are effective for hours.

3. A pair of fuzzy pajama pants

Studying, and napping certainly, is much easier when you're comfortable. And pajama pants are the ultimate comfy clothing option. Bonus points if they're fuzzy.

4. Memory foam pillow

These pillows are like heaven. They offer the best support and comfort at the same time. But they are fairly expensive, and college students are fairly broke.

5. Cute coffee mug

Fun fact, you can mix those espresso shots in with regular coffee for an extra kick. And for some reason drinking coffee is, even more, fun in a fun mug. Help us wake up and enjoy it, give us a cute lil' coffee mug.

6. Dry shampoo

Showers are hard. And they take time. College students don't have tons of extra time, but we still want to look like a functioning human. And dry shampoo helps us meet in the middle on this issue.

7. K-cup pods

Okay, so maybe there is a theme of coffee on this list. But coffee is a big part of college life--especially for tired college students (aka every college student). And we can't really afford to buy a coffee every day, but I can guarantee that we either have a Keurig machine or know someone with one. Help us save money and our sanity by giving a few K-Cup pods in our stocking this year.

8. Melatonin

Melatonin is natural and helpful when it comes to falling asleep. As tired as we are, falling asleep can be one of the hardest things to remedy this. Thinking about quizzes and tests keeps us up at night. Sometimes we just need a little help.

9. A fuzzy blanket

This is different from a heated blanket, and the difference is very important. This blanket is for the days when your heater does decide to work. Naps are just ten times better with a fuzzy blanket.

10. Flannel sheets


These are a lifesaver in the winter. Although they make getting out of bed even harder in the morning, the toasty wonderfulness that they bring while sleeping makes it worth it.

11. Soup

It keeps us warm and also helps one fall asleep at night (or during the day. Honestly, you cannot go wrong with food of any sort.

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!

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
