The "Twelve Days Of Christmas" As Told By A College Student
Anselm

We all know the original "Twelve Days Of Christmas" song. And to be honest, while it's a classic and I can't deny that it's catchy, it's probably my least favorite Christmas song out there. Like, what even is a partridge? Why are the hens French? Is one golden ring not enough, do you really need five? And what exactly are the lords leaping about?

So he is my reworked version of the song, hopefully, more relatable to the college kids out there who are just hanging on, struggling to make it through final's week and get to the holidays.

So here are the 12 days of a college student's Christmas:

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation.
