Tis the season for giving…and receiving lots of precious, precious presents. When you were little, Christmas was a magical time where Santa could bring any toy, gadget, or gizmo that you could have dreamed of. When you were a teen, Christmas was your opportunity to ask for the latest technology that you couldn’t pay for by yourself. But now that you’re in college and “all grown up,” your list to Santa looks quite different. Here are 12 things you might find on it.
1. Socks
Twelve years ago, you literally would have cried if you unwrapped these. Now you’re more thrilled to see them than Dobby was.
2. Cash
Let’s just skip all the fanfare and ask for what we really want.
3. A Netflix subscription
Mom and Dad have cut you off from your family account, and it is severely impacting your ability to chill.
4. Office supplies
Because boring yet practical stocking stuffers just scream holiday cheer!
5. A new car
Not that this will ever actually happen. Life isn’t like a Honda commercial where a new car with a monstrous red bow is waiting for you out in the driveway. I mean, who can actually afford that on the fly?
6. A boyfriend/girlfriend
Some things even Santa can’t help you with. A free Tinder Plus subscription will have to do.
7. Alcohol
Christmas is all about feeling all warm and fuzzy inside and being happy with those around you, right? This will help.
8. More meal swipes for the dining hall
All I want for Christmas is six lunches per week...
9. A passing GPA
Because finals happened...oh, how they happened.
10. More alcohol
11. A gym membership
Because after following up two weeks of stress eating for finals with two pounds of Christmas cookies, a few miles on the treadmill couldn't hurt.
12. A Tan
You don't care if it's a week in the Bahamas or a gift certificate to the tanning salon, you just need some color.
