Dear Santa (Burns Hargis),

This Christmas, us (the student body) have a few requests. This year, we have been ever so good. We cheered on our Cowboys every gameday, arrived on time to the majority of our classes and managed to put on the greatest homecoming in America. Our wishes are as follows.

1. A winning basketball team and coach

We have watched the rollercoaster of games, and we hope for the best. We want to see a great season.

2. No more classes in North Classroom Building

We actually really do love this building, just not the long walk to it.

3. Less parking tickets

All I know is that the majority of my extra expenses are due to the amount of parking tickets over the past 3 years.

4. University sponsored Uber's every Thursday through Saturday

Other campuses in Oklahoma participate in this generous idea, and we should, too. Let's keep the campus safe and keep our records clean.

5. Cancelling class with a 24-hour warning

Leaving a note on the classroom door for us to find when we arrive is something the Grinch would do.

6. No long lines to Murphy's, College Bar, Outlaws or Curty Shack (and no cutting for the football team)

This one explains itself.

7. Less construction

We are very appreciative of the beautiful new buildings on campus, but we are college students, not Dora the Explorer.

8. Later kickoff times next football season

We truly love our football team, tailgating and of course Boone Pickens Stadium; but it would be much more enjoyable at 7:00 pm at night.

9. Quicker/shorter lines at Chick-Fil-A, Caribou Coffee and Baja Fresh

Our 3 favorite hot spots in the union are extremely crowded between the hours of 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. It would make our lives so much easier if there was a solution to this problem.

10. Better artists at Calf Fry

Can Miranda Lambert make an appearance again?

11. Later operation hours at Cafe Libro

We love that the library is now open 24/5, but we would love it even more if Cafe Libro stayed open later for our late night cravings.

12. Fireworks in Boone Pickens Stadium (again)

One of my favorite memories as a student is when there were huge fireworks in BPS. Bring this back for a game or two next year?

Oklahoma State has been so good to us this year, and we couldn't imagine our college years spent anywhere else. And we promise to leave cookies and milk out for you this Christmas Eve, alongside our high GPAs and flawless resumes. We hope our wishlist finds you well. Merry Christmas, Burns.

Xoxo,

The hardest working, most deserving, kindest and best students in the nation. (Your favorite students in the nation).

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.
