Dear Santa,
This year, Her Campus has compiled a collective letter from Notre Dame, to tell you exactly what we college students want for Christmas.
T’is the week before finals and all through the halls
Every student is studying—asleep they won’t fall
Their backpacks are packed, full, and ready to go
To finish those finals before at last they’ll go home
Some we can all relate to…
· Acceptance
· A better GPA
· More Flexpoints
· Santa to pay my tuition
· A weekend without homework
· 72 hours of uninterrupted sleep
· An internship/research position
· A job offer at a place where I can help others
· Relief from ceaseless group message notifications
Some suggestions were silly…
· A tea cup pig
· The ability to teleport
· A really smart robot to do my homework
· A lifetime supply of Godiva and Ben and Jerries
· The reason Mona Lisa doesn’t have eyebrows
· A Red Rider BB gun and my two front teeth!
Some were satirical…
· A hammer to shatter the glass ceiling
· An axe to destroy the patriarchy
Some were very honest…
· For him to finally ask me to be his girlfriend…
· For my family to accept my sexuality…
· For my family to be happy, healthy and back together again…
Some were universal…
· World Peace
· Proof that there is a god
· The knowledge that my life has meaning
· Relief from the inevitability of human suffering
Most we hope to find in our stockings or under our trees come Christmas Eve…
Most people wanted a puppy, but they don’t let those in the dorms…
1. Money (college students are broke, remember?)
2. Gift Cards (Starbucks, Chipotle, and Target, mostly)
3. New Snow Boots (a.k.a. I’m not prepared for SB winter)
4. Food. All the food. And chocolate. Especially Chocolate.
5. Clothes (especially of the warm and/or business variety)
6. Hats, Scarves, Gloves, Slippers and Wool Socks
7. Jewelry and/or a Watch (Dress well, test well, right?)
8. An Cute Ugly Christmas sweater (oxymoron, so what?)
9. An Around-the-World Adventure (i.e. plane tickets)
10. A Surprise (Concert/movie tickets, skydiving, etc.)
11. Books (preferably the non-academic kind)
12. New Phone (or at least a new phone case)
13. Technological Genius (Go-Pro, Fitbit, Beats Pill)
14. A Bike or Longboard (those don’t get put in trees)
15. A Massage (because stress.)
We’ve all been nice this year, we promise…
XOXO
