Christmas as a college student is a lot like this: “That’s so sweet, you got me a present…Uh, I got you… a hug, come over here pal!” It may come as a surprise to some of you, but we are broke. I barely have enough money to buy myself lavish gifts, let alone you.

All joking aside, it is a little hard for someone who goes to school full time, and barely works, to buy multiple presents. It’s not just a few people it’s cousins, parents, grandparents, nephews, nieces, dogs, cats, etc. And you cant buy just one of them a gift because the next thing you know, one of your other family members will find out and have a cow.

And its not like we don’t want to buy you fine people things, it’s just the fact that we can’t. I can’t worry about the Hell that is finals week then also worry about getting gifts for 56 people. I just cant do it, my sanity is more important to me.

I’ll tell you what, when I become big and successful or win the lottery, then I'll buy everyone gifts. I’ll be like freakin’ Oprah, throwing more gifts on Christmas than I know what to do with. Until then, please, have some common decency and take my hug as a gift.
