My Grown Up Christmas List

Dear Santa....

My Grown Up Christmas List
Emalee Fox

With every year that passes, our Christmas lists get less about “wants” and more about “needs”. For most college students, practicality sets in, and the reality that everything has a price- even the things we really need. So friends, I got a little creative, and came up with my very own “grown up Christmas list”.

Cheaper iphones

I’ve been hanging onto the same iphone for over four years. Believe me, I really want a new Iphone, but not at the price they’re selling for these days! One of these days I’ll swallow my pride and buy a new phone, but in the meantime, I’ll keep asking for lower prices.

Gas Punch Cards

For all of the money that I spend on gas, I’d love to see some coupons or discounts. Maybe a “Buy 10 tanks, get one 1 free” kind of deal?

A Free Trip

This girl loves to travel, but with all of the expenses, I don’t always make it very far. New York City, Paris, London, and Disneyworld are still on my to do list!

A Life’s Supply of Pens & Pencils

I put them in my backpack, and then they all disappear. A life’s supply ought to do the trick.

Ponytail Holders with Tracking Devices

If I had a penny for every time I’ve lost one of these little devils.

A 2 in 1 Washer and Dryer

Can I get an “amen”? With the huge strides we’ve made in technology, I’m waiting for the day that this guy comes out. Also, maybe having one that separates your colors, darks, whites, and delicates?

A Phone That Doesn’t Require Charging

Watching your phone slowly die while you have no access to a charger or plugin, is one of the most painful things for a college student. So I say, let’s just eliminate the charging process all together! How about solar powered cell phones?

Unbreakable Earbuds

I seem to be cursed with earbuds, because I break a pair nearly every month. You’d think I would learn to be more careful by this point, but I don’t.

Unlimited Phone Storage for No Extra Charge

An unlimited amount of phone storage would go nicely with my solar powered Iphone. No more “Your storage is full” notifications.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
