What Each UMN College Is Asking Santa For This Christmas

Regardless of all our colleges, all we really want is net neutrality.

What Each UMN College Is Asking Santa For This Christmas

As Christmas rolls around, so does the hope of receiving that special gift you can’t justify buying for yourself. Or, simply getting a not-so-easy gift that might require a touch of Santa’s pixie dust. At the University of Minnesota, there are seven different colleges all with very distinct characteristics and therefore, such different Christmas lists. These are the “things” every college is asking Santa for.

1. College of Education and Human Development: Diversity Acknowledgment

So we have got some educators, human service workers, sport and fitness employees, and organizational leaders all clumped together into one college. Undoubtfully, at least one cluster of majors is set aside in order to highlight another. What these students desire is recognition of each other’s unique and important contribution to their college.

2. College of Biological Sciences: Passing the MCAT

Or just canceled altogether... for the sake of their sanity.

3. College of Design: Appreciation


It is not all doodling on paper and wearing nice clothes. But if it was, I am sure the design students could out-doodle and out-dress 93% of the UMN’s population.

4. College of Food, Agriculture and Natural Resource Sciences: Better Aromas

There is nothing like the St. Paul campus—the gardens, the views and the smell. While cows are adorable, their scent is far less appealing. So Santa, if you have a way to make livestock have better aromas or an extremely large air freshener, it would be much appreciated.

5. Carlson School of Management: A Curve

All Carlson students want for Christmas is for everyone else to fail. All in the love of the holiday spirit, of course.

6. College of Liberal Arts: Decisiveness

As the family and presents gather, so do the endless questions spotlighting your life. “Is there a special someone?”, “How was the semester?” and of course, “What do you want to do in the future?” While the first two may be incapable of answering with detailed honesty, the last one still has hope. All CLA students want for Christmas is the ability to decide what they actually want to do in the future or at the very least, their major.

7. College of Science and Engineering: Time

Is it possible to make a day longer than 24 hours? Although CSE students might to attempt to figure such problem out, that would require time, which is currently nowhere to be found.

8. Everyone: Net Neutrality

What every college student has in common, regardless of college, is a need and a way to procrastinate.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
