12/19 10 Things All College Students Want For Christmas

marykate mclaughlin

Let's begin!

1. Socks

Remember when you were little and hated getting socks for Christmas? Well now that you're in college, your face lights up when you see pairs of fuzzy socks resting under the Christmas tree.

2. Insulated water bottle/cup

In my personal opinion, stainless steel insulated cups/water bottles are one of the best inventions. I literally carry my Yeti around with me every day and don't know how I ever survived without it. Plus they keep drinks cool and hot for hours! Insulated water bottles/cups are gifts that you will literally use every day.

3. Comfy pullovers

Pullovers are a staple in college, especially on those days where you just want to cuddle up and stay warm. Even though you would much rather be in bed than in class, a comfy pullover will give you the extra comfort you need to survive those 8 am classes.

4. Amazon giftcards

Amazon has transformed the way we live our lives and Amazon literally has anything you could possibly ever need. Asking for Amazon gift cards not only allows you to buy that bullet journal you've had your eyes on but it also could be used to rent your books. Amazon has great rental rates on a wide variety of textbooks, saving you big money.

5. Wireless headphones/earbuds

Wireless headphones and earbuds are all the rage now, especially with Apple removing the headphone jack from iPhones. Either way, wireless earbuds/headphones are perfect for the gym so that you can listen to your music and lift weights at the same time.

6. Winter boots

If you go to school anywhere where it gets cold, you know that winter boots are essential during the cold months. If your pair is wearing out, definitely ask for a pair of winter boots this Christmas because you know that when the campus is a blizzard during January, you're definitely going to want boots to keep your toes warm.

7. A heated blanket

Definitely ask for a heated blanket this Christmas if your dorm's definition of heat is setting the temperature at 60 degrees. It's perfect for those days when you'll be snowed in. Just don't forget to turn it off before you go to sleep.

8. A ten foot phone charger

It seems like we can never have enough phone chargers or pairs of earbuds. A ten-foot charger is perfect for sitting in the library and not being close enough to a charger.

9. A pair of running sneakers

I'm one of those people who basically lives in athleisure. If your pair is starting to wear out, ask for a new pair of sneakers to wear to class and to the gym if you ever make it there.

10. A polaroid camera

Practical? No. Adorable? Yes. If you're looking to capture more moments next semester, ask for a polaroid camera to capture all of those spontaneous nights with your friends.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
