There are the classic 12 days of Christmas that we all get stuck in our head but there is also the 12 days of a college student's Christmas. Some hold fear and some hold warmth and relief. After Thanksgiving, things can start off scary and can even hit a few road-bumps but, eventually, we reach the Golden Star of Christmas break!!!

So, on the twelfth day of Christmas, my college sent to me...

1. "Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
