Five (Surprisingly) Useful Christmas Presents – Part II

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Duke chapter.

4. Food 

Over break, your Aunt Maggie was bringing pies to your house every other day, and your mom cooked so much chicken and turkey that you thought you’d burst if you ate another bite. Well bad news, my fellow Dukies: you’re back on campus. While the Loop’s mozzarella sticks and a McFlurry at 2 AM may seem great right now, I give you three weeks before you are legitimately considering injuring anyone who suggests meeting for dinner at an on-campus location (except Dillo. You can’t get tired of Dillo). That’s where all of the edible Christmas presents come in. Whatever your mom stuffed in your stocking or your Grandma sent from Connecticut, hoard it now and I guarantee you’ll be thankful later. Oh, and if it’s something delicious – preferably peppermint – feel free to share! I’m in Craven!
