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.

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.
