My Letter To Santa

You are never, ever too old to write Santa a letter during Christmas.

My Letter To Santa
Tor Olson

I thought I would get into the spirit and write a letter to Santa during the Christmas season. You are never too old to write down all the things you want in letter form, addressed to the big man up north.

Dear Santa,

First, I want to thank you for the many years of presents you gave me and my brother. There are so many presents I will never forget waking up to. You gave me something to believe in for many years of my life.

I don’t want you to ever stop the hope you give children every year. It’s something every little kid needs in their life. It is the best feeling in the world to wake up to presents under the tree and to have the milk and cookies gone.

This year for Christmas I do not want a fancy camera, a new phone, or new clothes. I just want my dad to get a job, for my brother to get everything he wants, and for me to go to college. Things have been tough for us, as they are for everyone, but my family deserves a break from the rough patches.

Also, I want you to give every other kid what they want for Christmas. You gave me many years of gifts, and there are so many kids out there that deserve a great Christmas. The holidays are such a great time, especially when you are a kiddo. Although I still consider myself a kiddo at 18, I don’t need the joy of gifts to be happy for the holidays.

So, Santa, go be awesome for other little kiddos.

Love,

Taya

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
