9 Things You Wish You Could Get For Christmas But Are Way Too Unrealistic, Let's Not Kid Ourselves

If only we could ask for what we really wanted for Christmas.

As a college student, we have many issues we have to deal with on a daily basis — lack of sleep, empty bank accounts, and a plethora of papers and tests. With the Christmas season already here, we’re all making our Christmas Lists to send home to our parents and relatives. If only we could ask for what we really wanted for Christmas.

1. More sleep.

I don’t think I’ve ever gotten to the point in my college career where I’ve gotten enough sleep. It’s actually sad, I think.

2. For professors to stop thinking that their class is the only class we have.

Seriously??? Why do they give us insane amounts of papers, homework, and tests??? OBVIOUSLY your class isn’t my only class. We both know this. And yet you still seem to think I have all the time in the world to do your assignments. Funny how that works.

3. No hangovers, like, ever.

Self explanatory.

4. A never ending closet of cute clothes.

Yes, I have friends whose clothes I borrow and who borrow mine in return. Do I always get those clothes back? No. I wish my closet could be like London Tipton’s in the Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Anyone remember it? That thing was massive and carried an echo when you said something. Now that’s goals.

5. An unlimited bank account.

My father has honestly stopped replying to my texts when I ask for more money. Does that stop me from calling him and thus convincing him to give me more? No. Will I ever stop? Possibly when I graduate. Can’t teach an old dog new tricks, though.

6. No covers at bars.

Honestly, they take enough of my money. Why do they need to get more by charging a FEE to get in? It’s because they know I’m going to pay it. It’s tragic. But it’s also called capitalism and it’s what our country runs on.

7. Someone to stock my fridge and always prepare my meals.

It’s hard to find time to go shopping and prepare healthy and tasty meals. I wish that my fridge could always be stocked, the food could always be made when I want it, and that it was healthy yet tasty. A girl can dream.

8. Drinking and eating as much as I want without gaining any weight.

College really does some damage to the ole body, let me tell you. For the people who lost weight in college, you’re not to be trusted. The rest of us will wallow in self pity and alcohol, which ironically caused the weight gain in the first place. It’s a cruel world.

9. A well-paying job once I graduate from college.

I’ve panicked way too many times to even count. I can’t wait to live in a shoebox and have to worry about my own health insurance and if I’m going to be able to pay rent! Being an adult seems like so much fun.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
