9 Presents College Students Want But Can't Buy

If there’s a way to put sleep under the Christmas tree, please do so.

Christmas is primarily about Jesus and the fact that He came to save us and to celebrate that, we give one another presents. Here are 9 presents that all college students want, but unfortunately, most cannot be bought.

1. Sleep

We've worked hard all semester and now we just want to sleep our way through Christmas and New Years before we're back at it again in 2018.

2. Home-cooked food

It's been a long semester of on campus food and we're ready for Momma's cooking.

3. No tuition

I guess we could technically get scholarships for this, but I'd much rather just wake up on Christmas morning and open a box to find "tuition has been abolished" written on a scrap of paper.

4. Time

Semesters fly by with all of the work we have to do, so we'd really like the clock to slow down when we're with our friends. Four years with these people sounds long, but in reality, it's all too short.

5. A perfect summer internship

Paid, either close to home or with provided housing and transportation, with awesome co-workers and a boss that will offer to hire you post-graduation.

6. Free money

I don't need a man, but falling in love is a beautiful. Finding someone to spend the rest of your life with is something that can’t be bought and definitely won’t appear under the Christmas tree, but it’s still nice to hope that the holidays will bring someone around who will stay.

9. Canceled finals

They say that Santa has magic, so I hope he can prove it and somehow

influence my university to cancel all finals. Unless your final grade is riding

on getting an A on your final, in which case I hope Santa uses his magic to get

you that A.


If you can somehow find a way to give these to your college students or talk to Santa about providing them, please do. We are a tired, broke, hungry people that would love anything on this list if you can somehow provide it.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
