12 Things I'll Put On My Grown Up Christmas List

Oh Boy! I Hope It's Socks!

With Halloween ending, the next holiday season starts up - CHRISTMAS! Everyone knows the best part of Christmas: Santa and the free presents that you just have to spend time with your family for. Now, of course, it's a high pressure season. What in the world are you going to ask Santa for this year? If you're in college and trying to be a fake adult like myself, here are 12 wishes going on my "Hey, I'm a grown up now" Christmas list.

1. Socks.

The lamest gift to a seven year old is now so important. Since doing my own laundry, there has been an increase in sock stealing elves, and the socks I like are expensive - I can buy like 3 slices of pizza for the money I'd spend on a pair of socks - so let's have Santa replace them.

2. Place specific gift cards.

As a kid, Santa getting you a gift card was unheard of (unless it was an iTunes gift card for your new iPod). But if Santa got me gift cards for Starbucks, Wawa, Dominos, and one for gas, Santa just saved me all the money and worrying I'd have to do.

3. Cleaning supplies.

On the off chance you ever clean your dorm room/apartment/house, cleaning supplies are EXPENSIVE. Imagine Christmas morning, you unwrap a bulk buy of Clorox wipes would make Santa the best person ever..

4. Mandala coloring books.

Yeah. A coloring book. For a grown up. It's to de-stress from all the pressures of hard half adult college life like studying, and dealing with your TA's accent, and that boy you like not texting back and your professor not answering your 1 am email begging for help. College is hard, ok?!

5. Sleep.

Can I ask Santa for sleep? Can he help me with that?

6. Less responsibilities.

Santa, if you can just take some of this stuff off of my plate that would be cool. You can pick whatever you wanna take. I'm not pushy.

7. Santa's Netflix password.

Asking Santa for his Netflix password would be amazing. What if Santa loves The Office just as much as you do? OMG. Plus, how great is it to know that Netflix will never notify you that you've missed a payment because it's Santa's treat!

8. A take home elf.

Borrowing one of Santa's elves for the year would be so lit.

9. Checks.

How does one get checks? @Santa help a girl out! Also, can they have cute puppies on them too!

10. Seven snow days.

If Santa can make it snow on campus enough to cancel classes, that would be #goals.

11. Paper towels and toilet paper.

Who even knew that people bought this and there just wasn't an unlimited supply in the closet? This is what moving out of Mom's gets you.

12. A college degree and a job after graduation.

This one is a LOT to ask for, but Santa, if you can hook me up with this one, consider all the other things on my list nulled.

In short, when your family asks you "What are you going to ask Santa for this year?" at least now you have some "adulty" answers. So Santa, when receiving my list that will look eerily similar to this this year, just remember how good I was all year. I've only skipped like three classes a term, I didn't cause any scenes, and I usually fold all of my laundry. Basically, I'm a pretty decent fake adult. Here's to us, fake college adults! Everyone get some sleep.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
