With the holidays fastly approaching, so is the time when you are asked the million dollar question, "what is on your wish list?" My family celebrates Christmas, and I have come to an age where I have realized how fortunate I am. For me now, the gifts that make me beyond happy are things like socks and groceries. However, I can't help but think of unrealistic gifts that would brighten my day. Hey, there's no harm in dreaming, am I right?

1. World Peace.

I mean, come on, how nice would it be to wake up on Christmas morning in a world where there was no more war, everyone is able to live a sustainable life, and global warming didn't exist anymore!!

2. No college debt.

What college student wouldn't want to be gifted with free college? Not only would us students be debt free, but so would anyone else in our lives that helps us out with these expenses (thank you, mom and dad)!

3. No more college textbooks.

I miss the days in high school where we never needed to worry about textbooks because every teacher had a class set. Who knew that ONE SEMESTER'S worth of textbooks could cost the same as an Apple iPad. Oh, and don't even get me STARTED on those access codes! Why must I buy a book that I know I'll never use? To be gifted with never having to pay for one again would be a dream come true.

4. Free gas.

Man, the things I would give in order to never have to pay at the pump again. If I got a voucher saying I get gas for free for the rest of my life I would be a happy camper.

5. My dream job/salary.

To never have to worry about landing my dream job after college would take the world off of my shoulders. On top of that, if I had job security and a salary high enough that I would never have to worry about money being tight sounds ideal.

All kidding aside, the holidays are a time for giving and being thankful for all that we have. I am so thankful to be able to go to college, have my own car, the ability to land my dream job, and an amazing family. Never forget to give thanks for all that you have!
