Tis the season to be jolly! It's Christmas season, the season of capitalism, consumerism, and marketing at its finest! For the next few weeks leading up to Christmas, people will shop 'til they drop buying presents for their families and friends. Don't get me wrong, everyone loves seeing a present with their name on it under the tree. But sometimes, the things we ACTUALLY want are not something we can buy in the Christmas sale section at Walmart. So, to my fellow Wake Forest students, here is the Christmas wish-list that we all WISH we could send Santa this year.

1. Straight A's

2. For every restaurant to be a 24 hour restaurant, not just Subway.

3. All take-home, open note final exams

4. Free tuition

5. Unlimited Starbucks gift cards

6. All dorms to be as nice as Angelou

7. No homework on weekends

8. ... and no homework on the weekdays

9. A Villiage Juice on campus

10. An uncrowded gym at all times

11. Wake to win EVERY football game

12. More than one snow day to occur next semester

13. All the professors at this school to have A+ Wake Ratings

14. To get a 5pm registration time

15. To get all of your first choice classes during registration

16. For there to be open seats in gov docs

17. For Einstein's to open earlier than 4pm on a Sunday

18. Everyone who applies to the business school gets in

19. For the WIFI to work on your phone

20. For people to stop getting food poisoning from Benson

21. The visiting professors to show up on Wake Ratings so your life isn't a gamble

22. A longer Fall break

23. For the Fall season to last the entire year

24. Clean chucks

25. For Residence Life to stop saying that your hallway is messy

26. For Pitsgiving to be every week

27. For it to not be freezing cold walking home from late night lib

28. For the freshman lot to not be far away

29. To be able to park on campus all week

30. To be guaranteed a job after graduation

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.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

Doing the friendly wave to every boat you pass.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.

Having unexpected problems with your boat.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.

There's no better place you'd rather be in the summer.
