All I Want For Christmas Is...

Unlike Mariah Carey, I don't know what I want for Christmas.

All I Want For Christmas Is...
Golden Boys and Me

I’m sure everyone has been asked what they want for Christmas at least once in their lives. If anybody is like me, they have a hard time answering that question at this point in their lives. Mariah Carey wants you, Alvin the Chipmunk just wants a hula-hoop, a few little kids just want their two front teeth, and others want a hippopotamus (Cheyenne). Hopefully, others can get a few ideas from my list, or see how relevant they are to a college student’s life. I really just have no clue what I want as a present, but after a lot of thought, I managed to scrape up a list.

A boyfriend

One Direction

Better yet; a boyfriend from One Direction.
I am definitely kidding about all of those things. Sure, having a boyfriend might be nice, and meeting One Direction would make my life complete (fangirl exaggeration). I really don’t need either of those. I’m fine without a boy, and I feel like if I met One Direction I would just freak out and babble a few fragments of words and maybe a sentence.

Now onto the real list.

Books. Any books.

I have an insatiable love for reading and books. I would love to get a book from anyone. If any of my friends need to get a cheap present for me, get me your favorite book because I love experiencing the joy that someone else does when they read a book. Or go a step further and buy my textbooks for next semester!

Painting Supplies

A canvas, or some paint, or paint brushes. Anything really would be great. Painting really helps me relax, and that can also make your life better. Most likely if you buy me paint supplies, I will paint you something because my wall space is very limited, and soon yours will be too.

College Tuition

Every college student can tell you that paying for college really stresses them out. So, if anyone could fork up like $20,000 for tuition that would be greatly appreciated.

Food

Food is always a safe bet for most people. Other than me. If you would like to get me some goodies that are gluten and dairy free, please do. I would love it if I got some sweets that I can actually eat.

Hugs

It goes without saying that hugs make life better. Lately, I seem to not be getting as many hugs as I would like. Next time you see me, a nice hug would be nice for the both of us.

A break

Every student, and probably everybody else at this point, tend to be struggling at this point in the year. After months of working hard and never really having a chance to just sit without having to worry about deadlines and work, we all just need some time to unwind. So, if somehow there is a way to just pause time and just give me a few more days to relax without having an agenda, that would be great.

Love from friends and family

To be honest, I really don’t want anything other than love from friends and family. Just knowing that I have people there for me makes me feel so much better. So, if anyone really wants to get me the best present, just be my friend. I have already been blessed to have all of you in my life, so just continue our streak and be there for me. I appreciate all of my friends and family being the best present.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you enjoy spending time with your family and friends.

P.S. A puppy would also be nice.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
