A College Kid's Christmas List

Forget barbie, get me wine.

A College Kid's Christmas List
Zastavki

As we grow, our needs and wants change. If you ask a 5 year old what they want for Christmas, they will probably say a doll or some Legos. If you ask a college student, they will probably say socks.

1. Socks

No matter how hard we try, the dryer always seems to steal the one sock from your favorite pair. Not both. JUST. ONE. How am I supposed to channel my inner Tom Cruise with just one sock?

2. Lots and lots of home cooked Christmas leftovers.

Aunt Shelly's hash brown casserole > ramen. Really anything > ramen.

3. Loan forgiveness.

At least give us some Black Friday deals or something. Come on, get in the spirit. (you could probably find this on our parents' wish list too)

4. Alcohol.

Now I may not be old enough to drink, but I'm speaking for my legal friends here. It doesn't have to be some $200 champagne, boxed wine and Natty is just fine.

5. A GPA boost.

Unless you have a 4.0, I think we could all use a little help. Dr. Nelson, if you are reading this, I'm talking to you. Help a sister out.

6. For McDonald's to get a new ice cream machine.

If we're being honest, this is on every ice cream lover's Christmas list.

7. No 8 AMs.

You signed up for an 8 AM thinking you could do it, when in reality you can barely make it to a 10 AM.

8. For your sports teams to be good.

Not everyone cares about sports, but for those of us who do, it feels so much better knowing that you're cheering for a bada** team.

9. That it's all worth it.

Especially for the seniors. All of the long hours, huge projects, typing until your fingers cramped, not to mention the money. Knowing that it's all going to pay off makes it just a little bit easier.

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is on the brain during the month of December, not finals! How do you expect me to study?

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
