Dear Santa,

Christmas as a college student is on a whole different level.

For some of us, we just might have to sacrifice decorating the tree with our family to take some of our dreaded finals. For others, Christmas becomes something much more. It turns into a time to appreciate your family and loved ones that maybe we haven't seen in a while.

Another big change as we get older has to do with our "Christmas List."

We move on from circling the toys and gifts we really want in the Target ads to praying for things we actually do need. I think we can all agree there are multiple favors we could have done for us by the people we love during this holiday season.

1. Straight A's

I would find it really hard to believe that there's students out there who don't want to ace all their finals. This is definitely at the top of my wish list this year.

2. Clear Skin

Even if you already have clear skin, you're going to continue to want it. How do we not have a cure for acne already?

3. Free Tuition... along with room and board

Basically, free college. Imagine not having any debt when you graduate! I'm sure no one would be complaining about that.

4. Cancelled Classes

Dear Santa, if you cancelled all my 8am's I would be forever grateful. Some extra beauty sleep would be nice.

5. Money

OK obviously this is one wish we have year round, but during the holiday season money can be wicked tight. On top of the usually spending on uber and other necessities, we still have to buy our families all that college t-shirt we promised them.

6. More Dining Dollars

It is really hard to not spend all of it when you have a Dunkin and a Starbucks on campus. Maybe next semester will go better.

7. Warmer Weather

Walking to class in a blizzard and -35 degree weather is NOT fun. No thank you, I'll pass on that one.

8. A Longer Amazon Prime Membership

Six months is not long enough and if you signed up right at the beginning of the school year, your time is running short. They should really just make it a yearly free subscription.

9. Good Health

Being sick at college is one of the worst struggles. If you have not experienced it yet, brace yourself because there's a chance the plague is coming to you and your campus next.

10. Unlimited Apparel

I could spend hours in the bookstore picking out every sweatshirt, t shirt, or hat that I wanted. You can never have enough school spirit and I would love to be able to rep my college 24/7.

Please be good to us this year.

Sincerely,

Hopeful college students across the country
