What College Kids REALLY Want for Christmas
ICCUB

At this point in the semester, your college student may be experiencing their mental breaking point level of stress. There is so much to do, in so little time and the pressure is on. With that in mind, this is what your college student REALLY wants for Christmas this year.

1. Sleep.

Obviously this is number one. You have no idea how much sleep is lost during the semester.

2. More Hours in the Day/Time.

College students jam pack their schedule to the brim each week. They honestly need more hours in the day because Daylight Savings just isn't enough.

3. Sleep.

I wasn't Kidding... it is that important.

4. Tuition Payments Paid For.

To not have to think about looming Tuition or Loan payments to be made... would be an absolute DREAM. This is the perfect gift for a college student.

5. Sleep.

Just let us nap please.

6. Good Grades.

Final grades are coming, all they want is to be passing and acceptable. The higher the better.

7. Final Exams to be Over With.

If they could just be cancelled that would be great.

8. Dean's List Placement.

Goals. If you can get the good grades, this is the next perfect gift to go along with it and provide some relief.

9. Endless Coffee.

This can be in the form of a coffee machine, Dunkin' or Starbucks gift cards, or even just taking them out to a coffee date. Can't go wrong with free coffee.

10. Free Food/Home cooked meal.

Food is so important. Take your college student out to eat after a long semester of munching on Ramen Noodles. Even better if you make a homemade meal.

11. No Questions About School/Future.

This should also be on the Thanksgiving list. No questions about the future please--you will be ignored. This is your warning.

12. No Plans for 24 hours.

Just to do absolutely NOTHING is so underestimated.

13. Uninterrupted Netflix Time.

Netflix marathon is overdue.

14. Anonymous Donation of a Large Sum of Money to Their Bank Account.

This can be taken in any form. Anything helps.

15. Instagram Likes.

That's right, no shame.

16. Favorite Dessert With No Guilt.

Bonus points if it is homemade.

17. Miraculously Waking Up with no More 'Freshman Fifteen'.

THIS. Please just melt away because I have little to no time to workout during the week.

18. No Stress for at least 24 hours.

This may be a hard one to get because it is in such high demand, but hopefully possible.

19. To Get all Their First Picks for Courses Next Semester.

THIS. Next semester is coming faster than you'd think and stressing about classes you haven't even had yet is no way to be on break.

20. Sleep.

The MOST important gift. Just let them sleep as much as possible. It doubles as a gift to yourself as well.

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.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
