20 Gifts College Students Really Want This Holiday Season
drew-fuller.com

The holiday season has finally rolled around which means that college kids everywhere are running back to their hometowns for a few weeks to spend time with friends and family. During this time of year, giving gifts is a tradition but sometimes you don't always get what you want. This year, these are the 20 things a college student really wishes that they could ask for.

1. An unlimited supply of coffee.

When you're regularly running on two to five hours of sleep, you need something to get you through the day.


2. Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime subscriptions.

These subscriptions should come with your acceptance letter to give students a way to procrastinate.


3. A maid service.

Everyone has a college cleanliness horror story, so let's prevent that as much as possible.


4. Classmates who bring enough cake and cupcakes for the rest of the class on their own birthday.

Remember when it was expected for the birthday girl/boy to provide the treats and you got a break from class? That should happen again.


5. A job that pays more than minimum wage.

Any job is great in college but between rent, food, and books you almost have to choose one to eliminate due to your lack of funds.


6. Free groceries.


Ramen and Hot Pockets can only be consumed so much.


7. The ability to be exempt from all exams.

In high school, there was the option to exempt all of your exams if you had an A in the class... can we bring that back?


8. To have pizza parties during class like in high school.

Being rewarded with both pizza and a free day in class was the best!


9. One free day a week that can be spent napping or doing anything unproductive.

No responsibilities. Nothing to do.


10. Every restaurant to start offering free delivery.

The worst is when you're in a mood for food from a certain restaurant that doesn't deliver. Ugh, how dare they?


11. Microwaveable meals that taste like home cooking.

Nothing better than eating a cheap frozen meal that tastes like plastic.


12. Care packages that come monthly like a subscription service.


Knowing that you'll have treats and love every month would give every college student something to look forward to.

13. Student discounts at every high-end store.

Just because I'm poor doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to look nice too.

14. An all expenses paid vacation for the squad.

Squad goals. Instagram on point.


15. A room that doesn't come with a roommate.

Roommates can be great but sharing a room is the worst.


16. A room that's bigger than the size of a closet.

How are we expected to keep all of our stuff in there?


17. Sound proof walls.

Being able to hear everyone's conversations isn't always ideal.


18. A 4.0 GPA without having to try that hard.

A for effort. Am I right?


19. A guaranteed job out of college.

Let's spend thousands of dollars to get an education to qualify for a job that you probably won't get.


20. Free tuition.

The most important of all.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
