8 Things College Students Want For Christmas

If you have a college student in your life, you might be wondering what to get them for Christmas. These are a few ideas if you were wondering. Sometimes it is hard to tell family and friends what we really want, though we aren't asking for much. Trust me college students are not asking for much, but here are a few things every college student wants for Christmas.

1. To pay for our college tuition.

Should I have to explain this one? College is expensive. I cannot begin to describe how much money it is. Any help towards paying for it is fine by us. It seems to be going up and up every year and it just kills us a little when we think about how much it is going to be. I mean after loans and everything we get from the college, having someone help is totally worth it, since I mean you will get to see us walk across the stage at the end.

2. Money for college books.

I cannot even think about books without stress. They are expensive. Really expensive. Just give us money for them and we will be content. The price of books though keep going up and up and the more we think about what they cost, the more we die inside. It is not easy paying for those books that we might not even open.


3. Free restaurant gift cards.

Free food. We are so okay with free food. Free money for food. Just food in general that we don't have to pay for. School food sucks. Badly. Having the same food day in and day out, it gets old after a while. Plus food gift cards are the best especially if we are up late studying and want food, you will have given us the best gift in the world. Late night food run we don't have to pay for.

4. Laundry money

It can add up. Free money to do laundry the more we can do it. There are times where the laundry piles up more and more and we just don't want to have to pay so much money every time to do it. So if you are willing to give us money to pay for it, we will thank you forever.

5. Gas money.

Gas can be expensive. It would be nice to have free gas. Especially since we are broke college students who can't always pay for our own gas.

6. Cash

I don't even have to explain why on this one.

7. Sleep.

We just need all sleep. We are tired. We study, we eat, we do homework, we just want to sleep. This will make us feel so much better in more than one way. And we will not be so grouchy when we are home. Plus we don't have time to sleep much at college.

8. Free food/home cooked meal.

Again, food. Free food. Plus home cooked food is so much better than food at college. Just feed us and let us sleep.

No matter what, just deal with your stressed out college student. We are trying. Life happens and we are just simply asking for things that will make our lives at college easier. Its not to much to ask for.

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.
