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.

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.
