A College Student's Christmas List

During college your Christmas list seems to get simpler, but the need for the things on it becomes more real.

A College Student's Christmas List

As you get older your Christmas List seems to change. I think the most special Christmas List is made during your college years, though. The list during these years is so simple, desperate, cherished, and important all at the same time. So, here are some things you may find on every college kid's Christmas List.

1. To Pass All Classes


College can be hard, and finals flipping suck. So passing classes is definitely a much needed Christmas wish.

2. Money


Let's be honest, all college students are basically broke. So, money is always welcomed and much appreciated. Also, I already know what you're thinking, "why don't you just get money and buy everything else on the list?" Because no. Just no. It's not the same. There's something about having money in your wallet that you can spend on whatever you want and not things that you probably should/need to buy.

3. Taco Bell Gift Card


THIS. IS. GOLD. I repeat, GOLD. Taco Bell is like a cherished gift in college. Everyone basically loves it, and when you have gift cards you feel like you aren't even spending money. Also, if you happen to mention to your friends you have a $20 gift card to Taco Bell the possibilities are endless on what you can get them to do. You could easily have a clean room if you get them a couple of tacos.

4. Toilet Paper


I know this doesn't seem like a lot, but this stuff isn't cheap, especially if you don't hang with the cheap stuff. Stocking up a college student with toilet paper that will last them a couple of months would definitely make Christmas a merry one.

5. A Full Tank Of Gas


Go ahead and fill up your college kids gas tank because there is nothing more beautiful than looking ahead of you and seeing that dial all the way to the right. An instant smile happens when a college student sees their gas tank is full.

6. A Break From All The Questions


No, we probably don't know what we're going to do with the rest of our life. If we're single now, we'll probably be single for awhile. If we're dating, we probably won't get married any time soon because rings cost money and look at number two on our list.

7. A Whole Day To Sleep


Yes, this may be "wasting the day away" but we don't care. We just finished finals, which means staying up until the wee hours of the morning cramming for a test that we won't remember as soon as we finish. We're tired and sleeping all day sounds amazing. So let us do it, we'll probably be happier after we catch up on sleep anyways.

8. A Home Cooked Meal


No one enjoys college caf food, and nothing is as good as real food made in your home by your mom.

Here's hoping that all college students receive their struggle Christmas wishes because receiving any of things would be a blessing.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
