A College Student's Christmas List

If I received any of these things for Christmas, I'd probably cry out tears of joy.

When we're younger, we look forward to receiving toys and other presents for Christmas, but as we grow older, we usually want things that are harder to wrap in a box (some things still fit though, of course). Take a look at this Christmas list to find out what a typical college student wants this year.

1. Cash

Most of my family members complain that cash is not a Christmas gift, and while they may be right, that doesn't mean that I don't desperately need it. Plus, I'd use it more than any other gift anyone would buy me.

2. Gift cards

This one might only be slightly better than the first, but hey, give me a break, I'm a broke college student. There's honestly nothing I'd love more than grocery and gas cards for Christmas, especially because that's where all my money goes.

3. A 4.0 GPA

Alas, this one can't be bought, and while it's probably wishful thinking, a girl can dream, right?

4. Dunkin Donuts & Starbucks ANYTHING

A gift card? A mug? A pound of peppermint coffee? Buy me literally anything from either of these places, and I'll be smiling from ear to ear.

5. A job or an internship

For seniors looking for a full-time job offer and sophomores and juniors searching for an internship, this would be the best Christmas gift EVER. There's nothing like taking the next step in your career to get in the Christmas spirit (at least I think so)!

6. A puppy

In all honesty, I could have seven dogs and still want another one for Christmas. Shout to my favorite dog, KiKi. You'll always be my number one!

7. Fuzzy socks

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm always freezing, and I could use a little warmth and comfort on cold winter nights.

8. Bath & Body Works / LUSH products

I use body gel religiously, and bath bombs are so relaxing. The scents alone though just put me in an excellent mood. Gingerbread house? Warm vanilla? Chocolate peppermint? Count me in.

9. Printer ink

Now this one might be lame as anything, but ink is expensive! I run out of it so quickly, and I hate buying it, so I might as well throw it on the list, right?

10. Stress-free living

This is definitely a stretch because people experience stress in all walks of lives. Nevertheless, it's still something to hope for, even if it only lasts until the end of January when I go back to school for the spring semester.

While this list only scratches the surface, it's a good place to start. However, the most important thing I want for Christmas is to spend time relaxing with friends and family, but I don't think I have to wish for that one because I get that experience every year.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
