Dear Santa

Dear Santa,

Yes, this letter is going to be about what's trending and from that list, what I would like, but there's going to be more to it than that. And I don't know if you know what a "GIF" is because you're a couple hundred years old, but you'll catch on.

I just want to start by saying "hello" to you and yours, and I hope that all is well. I want to say that I'm writing this because today, when I was watching "The Year Without a Santa Claus" on television, I got scared! I don't want anyone, but especially you, to ever feel unappreciated or that people don't believe in you. Maybe I'm the only one that thinks this, but anyone who lasts for 200 years cannot possibly be "just a myth.

As for your reindeer, I know them all by name! Not everyone can say that, you know, but I hope they're all healthy and ready for the holiday. Are you aware of all of the movies there are about you and the reindeer? I hope you are. I'd be interested in knowing the validity of the movie adaptations.

As for the presents, (ah yes, the presents...)

I'm really only interested in clothes, Santa. Let's be real, the clothes make the woman. Now yes, I do have lots of clothes already, but what's the harm in getting more? Aaaaaand they say you see all of us in our sleep, etc. so I'm guessing you know exactly what I would like.

Now that you think I'm only interested in material things, it's time I let you know what I'm even more interested in!

Santa, I've found great friends, I have a loving family, I'm doing well in school, and I'm finally figuring out what I want to do with my life. But, what can make or break the holiday season is the attitude of those around us. This year, I'm really hoping that everyone catches a serious case of Christmas spirit. The happiness and warm vibes required for this may be hard to come by, but this is what classifies a perfect holiday rather than any other gift. Seriously.

So, Santa, I hope this letter finds you well and that it's not "just another one" you'll receive this holiday season. See you in a couple weeks!

Sincerely,

Me

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
