Perfect Christmas List for Any College Student
History

1. Money

Cash, checks, direct deposits, we're really not picky.

2. A massage

Finals week is very physically trying on us. All the hunching over crying can mess with your back pretty bad.

3. Amazon gift Cards

You don't have to worry about getting them something they'll hate but not have the motivation to actually return or regift, so gift cards are always a safe bet.

4. Restaurant gift cards

The school food gets a little old after a while and sometimes it's nice to just treat yoself...unless you're broke like the rest of the other broke college students.

5. Fuzzy socks

I mean, who doesn't love fuzzy socks? This is a pretty perfect gift for anyone on your Christmas list.

6. A day to do nothing

Parents, try and remember the stress of finals when you were in school? Those weeks of endless assignments? How you wish all your could do was nothing? Yeah, things haven't changed.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F12%2F09%2F636168445450731840742519095_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=906&h=6fab3b1258f7ef8ecda5541b6781e93c1d6491a258aea99348419dccbd7f42ea&size=980x&c=1142742462 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F12%252F09%252F636168445450731840742519095_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D906%26h%3D6fab3b1258f7ef8ecda5541b6781e93c1d6491a258aea99348419dccbd7f42ea%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1142742462%22%7D" expand=1]

7. Textbook money

We're probably not going to read them anyways, buuuuuut we're at least our professors will appreciate us at least having them.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F12%2F09%2F63616843552594645159664575_200.gif%2351&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=251&h=61136847ba67edacaf5b0df90e19747363c538fda48120e9066d9443a9832c4f&size=980x&c=1665621383 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F12%252F09%252F63616843552594645159664575_200.gif%252351%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D251%26h%3D61136847ba67edacaf5b0df90e19747363c538fda48120e9066d9443a9832c4f%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1665621383%22%7D" expand=1]


8. Their favorite home cooked meal

Because there's nothing like 'em!

9. Basic cleaning supplies

Laundry detergent, dryer sheets, dish soap, sponges, Lysol, cleaning wipes, a small vacuum, a boom and dustpan, etc. We're not (all) animals.

10. Technology

Speakers, a TV, DVD player, new headphones, or other appliances of that nature are much appreciated.

No Sex And Upstate New York

A modern-day reincarnation of Carrie Bradshaw's classic column

7
Pinterest

Around the age of 12, when I was deciding whether or not to be gay, Satan appeared on my left shoulder. “Ramsssey,” he said with that telltale lisp. “Come over to our side. We have crazy partiessss.” He made a strong case, bouncing up and down on my shoulder with six-pack abs and form-fitting Calvin Kleins. An angel popped up on the other shoulder and was going to warn me about something, but Satan interrupted- “Shut up, you crusty-ass bitch!’ The angel was pretty crusty. She disappeared, and from that moment forward I was gay.

To The Classes That Follow
Senior Year Is Here And I Am So Not Ready For It

I was you not that long ago. I was once an eager freshman, a searching sophomore, and a know-it-all junior. Now? Now I am a risk taker. Not the type that gets you in trouble with your parents, but the type that changes your future. Senior year is exciting. A lot of awesome things come along with being the top-dog of the school, but you, right now, are building the foundation for the next 4 years that you will spend in high school. I know you've heard it all. "Get involved", "You'll regret not going to prom", "You're going to miss this". As redundant as these seem, they're true. Although I am just at the beginning of my senior year, I am realizing how many lasts I am encountering.

Why Driving Drives Me Crazy

the highways are home

1687

With Halloween quickly approaching, I have been talking to coworkers about what scares us. There are always the obvious things like clowns, spiders, heights, etc. But me? There are a number things I don't like: trusting strangers, being yelled at, being in life or death situations, parallel parking. All of these are included when you get behind the wheel of a car.
