Dear Santa.

Here Are 10 Things I Want For Christmas

Dear Santa, Here are 10 things that I want for Christmas.

1. No Debt

All and any colleges student will agree with me on this is. Like who really wants any debt. Debt is terrible, debt is stupid, debt is like an annoying itch on your back that doesn't go away. I don't know if you you know Santa but in order for me to get a job, I have to have a college education? And that a college education costs me around $100,000... or more.

2. More Sleep

I am always so tired. Like no matter how much I sleep I am still tired. I need sleep. If I don't have sleep I am a grumpy troll from under the bridge. Me without sleep is one ugly thing.

3. The Ability To Eat Endless Amounts of Fried Food, Without Any Consequences.

Fried everything. French FRIES. FRIED Oreos. FRIED Chicken Nuggets. FRIED Cheese. All of the FRIED fair food. Please give it to me. Like I really love fried food but you know it is not the best for our bodies. I could probably eat more fried food if I wanted to but I don't want my body to hate me.

5. A Summer With Fewer Bugs.

The one thing I hate about summer is the bugs. I hate them so much! They are annoying and yeah I know they help us. But still please at least keep them out of my house and away from my body. I don't want fruit flies invading my kitchen and I don't want mosquitos eating my body.

6. For Everyone To Just Get Along.
With everything going on lately in the world most of us are just hoping for a moment or two of peace this year. No more wars, no more fighting just some peace would be nice for once.

7. A Satisfying Life
One thing I notice with older people is that most say is that they wish they did more of what they loved. So I want to do things that I love. I want a job where I can make some money, be happy and do what I love. I want to have a house, a family, dogs and a few kids. I want to be able to travel and experience new things.

8. Puppies
Who doesn't want a cute, sweet, fluffy, cuddly, fluffy puppy to love. And then when they grow up they are still cute but they become you best friend.

9. Money To Pay For My Monthly Rent
I don't know how much it costs to live in the North Pole but, how ever much it is you probably got it under control. Where I live, a roof over your head doesn't come cheap. And it definitely isn't always easy coming up with that money, when you have no money but have 9173238481 other bills to pay.

10. Time For Love

But it's not just the experiences you have, it's the people you have them with. As life becomes busier and more complicated, time becomes harder. And I wish it wasn't. If I could only have one thing this Christmas, it would be to spend time with the people I really love. It's a simple request, yet not always an easy one.

XOXO,

A 22-Year-Old College Student

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
