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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
