6 Christmas Gifts We Used To Hate, But Now We Love

1. Socks.

I'm living in a cold dorm room and my toes are usually freezing. If I can get my hands on some socks during a gift exchange, you better believe I'm taking them. Family always helps with this bullet, even though we didn't like it so much as a child. Honestly would not be upset if I got all fuzzy socks for Christmas..

2. Hats/Gloves.

Again with the cold.. walking to class isn't very fun when you neglect to go buy yourself a hat or a pair of gloves. Getting a new set, plus a possible scarf, is the best thing to happen to a college student. Now you can make it to class without frost bite next semester.

3. Gift Cards.

A gift card to Walmart or Target might seem lame at first. But when you are sitting in your dorm next semester and you don't have any extra money to get food.. you'll be pretty damn happy. It doesn't even need to be for food.. just any basic thing you might need last minute when you're broke.

4. Food.

If it isn't a gift card.. food is always a great present for a college student. We are literally never upset with food. We are always hungry and will definitely take it with a huge smile on our face.

5. JUST CLOTHES IN GENERAL.

Waking up on Christmas morning and seeing a bunch of clothes under the tree wasn't the greatest thing ever.. but I sure as hell would LOVE IT NOW. A new free outfit is the best because a broke college student can't always afford to buy clothes themselves.

6. Toothbrush.

A new toothbrush for a gift is hands down the greatest gift of them all. As a child this might have been a different story.. but that has sure changed now that you're in college. Dental Hygiene is a 10/10 gift.

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
