HEY! Guess what?!?!? Christmas is just around the corner. So that means people are making their gift list. As the majority of you reading these blogs are pre-college, yet soon to enter into your freshman year, here are 10 possible ideas for things you may want to add to your Christmas wish list!
1. Laptop
A laptop is a must to survive in college. If you don’t have one yet, now may be the time to think of asking for one.
2. Longboard

It is good to have fun things to do. Longboards aid in that fun.
3. Frisbee

Not just any flimsy frisbee though, a nice one so that you can play the frolf course well.
4. Cell phone

This was actually a real thing for me as I didn’t get my first phone until May of my senior year. Also a necessity.
5. Hope Apparel
6. Lots of underwear
Laundry costs money. How do you do less laundry and thus save money? …more underwear. Boom.
7. Hammock

A great place to nap, do homework, or just hang (see what I did there?)
8. TV/Speakers
These things are nice to have in the dorm, whether that is to relax and watch a movie or have a bumping dance party.
9. Water Bottle

I got a wattle bottle my first year and drink from it non-stop now.
10. A car! Haha just kidding…but really.
It is a lovely thing to have a car while being a college.
Just some things to keep in mind as the Christmas season is approaching! One a different note, I have exam week this week, and then I am on break! Yippee!
