A College Student's Honest Christmas Wish List
The Odyssey Online

We need to be real with ourselves: There are certain items we wish we could ask our parents for this holiday season, but with discretion, we decide against certain things. If we were honest, though, our Christmas wish list would be a lot longer than "money and clothes". Here's what a college student's realistic wish list looks like:

1). Amazon Prime

Because sometimes you need to be able to order toothpaste, water, shampoo, etc. and receive it within two days without leaving your bed.

$90/year with student discount, Amazon.com


2). Netflix

No explanation needed.

$10/month, netflix.com


3). Snuggie

Because sometimes sweatpants don't cut it at the library. Sassy meets style.

$14.99, Snuggie Store


4). The "Chambong"

For when you need to combine classy, trashy, and you still want to have fun.

$25.00, Fancy


5). "The Table"


Because your Art History class has inspired you to get a more aesthetic table for pre-going out games.

$94.99, Overstock.com


6). Chemistry shot glasses

Because your lab science requirement you finished this semester has you feeling some type of way.

$19.99, Think Geek


7). Leggings

Because you want to tell yourself you need these for the gym, but in reality, you want to wear them as pajamas. No judgment.

$98, lulu lemon


8). ...Flavored Coffee.


You know you want to at least try it.

$19.95, Uncommon Goods


9). Napping Pillow

A firm pillow is well-needed for naps so great you'll sleep through your 2:10 class.

$99, Tempur-Pedic


10). Socks!

You just love everything about them. And it reflects 80% of what you've consumed this semester.

$8, Urban Outfitters


11). Frat Phone Case...Phrone Case?

Because it drives you nuts that you haven't had this during your entire college experience.

$24.90, Forever 21


12). The Flask Scarf

Because no outfit is complete without an accessory that holds 8 oz. of your favorite liquid.

$24.95, Baxbo.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
