12 Things College Students Actually Want For Christmas

1. A normal sleep schedule.

In college staying up until 3 a.m., waking up for an 8 a.m. class, and then napping until dinner is perfectly acceptable. Who needs eight hours of sleep a night, anyway? Oh wait -- we do. We really, really do.

2. Your friend's HBO GO password.

Netflix and Hulu just aren't enough sometimes. Plus, everyone keeps talking about "Game of Thrones," but you're broke and you just want to know what all the fuss is about. It's the season of giving, people.

3. For Adele's "25" CD to be available on Spotify.

Hello. It's us -- broke college students who use Spotify for free and don't have $12.99 to buy Adele's CD at Target.

4. Phone chargers that don't break every five seconds.

He,y phone chargers, you have one job. Get it together, please.

5. For Chick-fil-A breakfast to be all day, every day.

Chick-fil-A should take a note from McDonald's book and get on board with breakfast all day. Chicken Minis deserve to be enjoyed all day long, that's just a fact.

6. To not be constantly asked, "What are your post-graduation plans?" over the holiday break.

We literally just finished finals. We need a little bit of a breather. We know about as much as you do regarding our futures, a.k.a., absolutely nothing.

7. More on-campus parking.

We would all love to not have to waste 90 percent of our gas just looking for a parking spot. That would be a Christmas miracle.

8. Functioning immune systems.

WebMD and the CVS Minute Clinic become your best friends in college. Even if you're not sick right now, you probably know at least five people who are. College is fun, but it's virtually impossible not to get sick at some point.

9. Something to prevent hangovers.

It's 2015 and there is still no technology that can prevent hangovers. Someone tell Santa Claus to get on that ASAP.

10. A fast-pass for the Chipotle line.

When you walk into Chipotle and the line is to the door don't you always want to skip straight to the front? Me, too.

11. For "The Office" to come back on TV.

An "Office" reunion would be the best gift ever. Someone definitely should make this happen. Michael Scott, we miss you desperately.

12. Our sanity.

It's been a really long semester. A week without a mental breakdown or crying in the library sounds like heaven, right now.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
