An Open Letter To Santa Claus

Dear Santa Claus,

I understand that you are pretty busy up in the North Pole right now considering that we have less than a month left until Christmas. You're probably wondering why I am writing to you about my Christmas wish list even though I am almost twenty-one years old. You see, the thing is, back in middle school and high school I thought I knew everything and had the whole "adult" thing under control. During my teen years I thought letters to Santa were way to childish for me. Unfortunately, as I am approaching real adulthood, I'm beginning to realize that there are quite a few things that I could use this Christmas. I remember when I used to send you my Christmas list and you'd never disappoint. Some of my favorite Christmas memories are waking up to the newest American Girl doll or red Schwinn beach cruiser under the Christmas tree from you. I figured that if I wrote to you again this year, you could maybe help me out again. Don't worry, I'm not asking for anything major that will throw off the elves' production process. Most of the things I am asking for aren't even material items! This year for Christmas I would like (in no particular order):

1. The ability to go a week without any sleep. (Or maybe you could just add a few extra hours in the day, either works.)

2. The ability to eat and drink unlimited junk food and not gain weight.

3. A magical closet that restocks itself with the latest clothes from Urban Outfitters each night.

4. A cloned version of myself that goes to all my lectures while I sleep in.

5. A lifetime of new "Gossip Girl" episodes.

6. The inability to feel FOMO. (So that I will actually choose to stay in for once.)

7. A 4.0 GPA.

8. The ability to transport myself anywhere so I can travel the world.

9. For my parents to stop asking why I'm still single.

10. A photographic memory and speed reading skills.

11. Perfect interviewing skills.

12. A clear career choice and plan.

13. Excellent cooking skills.

14. Knowledge of how to file taxes.

15. A puppy that doesn't need training or cost a lot of money.

16. The ability to never procrastinate again.

17. A lifetime supply of all Trader Joe's products.

18. The body of a Victoria's Secret Angel.

19. The ability to see my family whenever I get homesick.

20. Free Starbucks that appears anytime I snap my fingers.

21. To never have to go to the dentist again.

22. A year long tan.

23. A perfect immune system.

24. The ability to know when someone is being fake.

25. An extra day between Sunday and Monday.

I know this list might seem long, but I promise I've been good this year! Merry Christmas!

Sincerely,

College girls everywhere

P.S. Please say hello to Mrs. Clause and Rudolph too.

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?
