11 Things College Students Want For Christmas

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

When you were a kid, clothes were the worst Christmas gifts ever. But now that you’re a broke college student, your desires have changed to say the least.

Here is the ultimate list of things you want but you probably (definitely) won’t get.

 

1. An A in that class.

 

2. Free food.

 

3. To not have to pay for textbooks.

 

4. Financial stability and no student debt.

 

5. A guaranteed job after graduation (preferably in your field).


 

6. A tropical vacation.

 

7. Our hair to cooperate.

 

8. Our phones not to die every few hours.

 

9. To be immune from hangovers.

 

10. A puppy… or five.

 

11. A nap.

We hope you get everything you want this Christmas!
