A College Kid's Christmas List

Forget barbie, get me wine.

A College Kid's Christmas List
Zastavki

As we grow, our needs and wants change. If you ask a 5 year old what they want for Christmas, they will probably say a doll or some Legos. If you ask a college student, they will probably say socks.

1. Socks

No matter how hard we try, the dryer always seems to steal the one sock from your favorite pair. Not both. JUST. ONE. How am I supposed to channel my inner Tom Cruise with just one sock?

2. Lots and lots of home cooked Christmas leftovers.

Aunt Shelly's hash brown casserole > ramen. Really anything > ramen.

3. Loan forgiveness.

At least give us some Black Friday deals or something. Come on, get in the spirit. (you could probably find this on our parents' wish list too)

4. Alcohol.

Now I may not be old enough to drink, but I'm speaking for my legal friends here. It doesn't have to be some $200 champagne, boxed wine and Natty is just fine.

5. A GPA boost.

Unless you have a 4.0, I think we could all use a little help. Dr. Nelson, if you are reading this, I'm talking to you. Help a sister out.

6. For McDonald's to get a new ice cream machine.

If we're being honest, this is on every ice cream lover's Christmas list.

7. No 8 AMs.

You signed up for an 8 AM thinking you could do it, when in reality you can barely make it to a 10 AM.

8. For your sports teams to be good.

Not everyone cares about sports, but for those of us who do, it feels so much better knowing that you're cheering for a bada** team.

9. That it's all worth it.

Especially for the seniors. All of the long hours, huge projects, typing until your fingers cramped, not to mention the money. Knowing that it's all going to pay off makes it just a little bit easier.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
