Oh dear, it's that time of year again where your parents ask you to make that Christmas list of yours.

Long are the days when we were kids and it was as easy as putting down heelys, easy bake oven, game-boy, rock em sock em robots, polly pockets, and moon shoes. Yes, those days are over but don't get your tinselin a tangle.

For all you college students, I have a list for you that sleighs!

1. Motivation


"Sorry, I can't go to work tomorrow. I fractured my motivation"

2. Consistent 4.0 GPA


"Without sacrificing my life"

3. Not have to spend an arm and a leg and my life and my soul to pay for college


"Go to college they said. You'll find love they said. I just found debt, Netflix, and headaches"

4. Hammock


"So I can show people how my life is going. Just try standing on it"

5. A ban on relatives asking about your love life


"Its non-existent because I didn't forward those chain messages back in 2008. Now stop asking"

6. Pizza onesies

"To match my best friend...pizza"

7. Money


"Someone explain to me why college students are traveling all over the
world and I just whipped out my coin jar and used quarters to pay for my
coffee and breakfast"

8. Bobby pins and long eyelashes


"To help hold my life together and lashes to fly me away from the world"

9. Time travel device


"Back to being a kid where everyone was proud of you for taking a nap.
Anyways, if anyone needs me, I'll be in my blanket fort, coloring"

10. Time management skills


"I have a 'why am I like this' moment at least 4 times a day"

11. Calendar


"Its already December? Time flies when your life is falling apart"

12. Good beer at parties


"That don't taste like pee-water"

13. Future plans


"I just want to be happy with no BS. Endless the BS stands for Bags and Shoes."

14. A watch to keep track of all the time I waste


"Oh I have 10 papers due Monday, have $-100 in my savings account,
haven't studied for finals, have a project due at 11:59 tonight I
haven't started yet, grocery shopping to do because I haven't eaten for a
couple days, parents to call back, and need to find a job. Let's do non
of that and take this online quiz to determine what kind of potato I
am"

15. Food


"I mean real food that's not ramen or pizza heated by a hair dryer"

16. Sleep in general


"And i don't mean the sleep you get when your eyes close from a sneeze"

17. Nice palette of eye-shadow and maybe some concealer


"Because wearing a dark shade of exhaustion gets old"

18. Laminator


"To laminate my notes so the tears roll off"

19. Prizes in Tampax boxes


"Periods suck, so here's a coupon for free ice cream you cranky b*tch"

20. Mint Gum.


"To make your breath sweet, minty, and fresh because no matter what
evil, horrible, pissed off thing you say because of how life likes to
screw with you, at least it won't smell like it"

21. Noise canceling headphones


"To block out your haters. Or just everyone"

22. Dark shades. Preferably Ray Bans


"To hide the tears in style"

23. Coffee magically appearing right as you wake up every morning


"And a nice ole mug to go with it. Not for the coffee but to hold those tears"

24. Stop catching feelings


"Feelings should be featured on 1000 ways to die"

25. On the other hand, it would be nice to find someone who shares in with your weirdness, rude comments, sarcastic undertones, and more of your weirdness

"But... that'll probably never happen. So sing it with me, 'Single bell, single bell, single all the way!'"

What other things do you wish you could put on your Christmas list?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
