The Christmas list of a 20-year-old college student

-

It is the last week of November which means Christmas is right around the corner. As Christmas trees are set up in front of the windows of houses and holiday ads are stuffed in mailboxes, I cannot help but remember being a child writing my wish list to Santa. Since I am older now, I am clearly not asking for fun items such as a new doll or the famous Fingerlings. I may be considered too old to write a Christmas list, but this does not spoil the fun!
  • ·       Spyro Reignited Trilogy

When I was young, I grew up playing Spyro on my PlayStation 1. Recently, the Spyro Reignited Trilogy game was released for PlayStation 4. This game including the original Spyro trilogy completely remastered. I cannot wait to play it!

  • ·       A Laptop Case

As a graphic design student, I am on my laptop all the time. Must I explain this item further?

  • ·       A weighted blanket

While browsing online, I have seen a lot about weighted blankets. I love blankets in general, so I was curious. They say these weighted blankets help relieve anxiety and depression. Since I suffer from both, I would love to give one a try!

  • ·       A hybrid smartwatch

You see a lot of smartwatches such as the Apple Watch. I am personally a fan of the Fossil smartwatches, so I got one of those instead. I wore it every day for a long time, but it became a chore to charge! Hybrid smartwatches contain most of the same components as any other smartwatch except for the screen. Instead, they look like a normal watch. Plus, you do not have to charge them!

  • ·       Winter clothes

I cannot help it. I love clothes! My closet is filled to the rim, but I still find items I feel I need. Since it is getting colder, I feel the need for more winter clothes such as sweaters and vests. Do I really need them? Probably not. Do I still want them? Yes, I do.

Now, I have never been one to get everything I want for Christmas, and I am perfectly fine with this. I understand there is not a lot I truly need. There are mainly things I only want. If I were to get anything on this list, I would be entirely grateful but if not, I will be happy all the same. I mainly look forward to giving to others and spending time with my family.

I am not a crazy cat lady but, in all honesty, I do not know if I could love anything more than my cat, Adobe. After watching the Disney classic, “The Aristocats,” I went to my mom with a random thought. “Do you know what would be cute? A white cat named ‘Duchess’,” I said. “Well, my friend from work has a cat with kittens,” she replied. “I think he said one was white.” My eyes widened, and my mom instantly regretted saying a word. Of course, it took some charm and good reasoning to convince my mother to let me have a kitten. My mother’s main argument was we already had a cat. “Two cats are too much work,” she said. Yes, T.J. was very loving, but he never felt like my cat. He was my mom’s cat. I wanted an animal to call mine. An animal I can raise throughout its lifetime. I also argued T.J. was an old and overweight housecat. Therefore, why not give him company? Clearly, my mother could not counter my reasoning. Once the kitten was old enough, I picked it up and brought home the...

Preparing for the Interview

-

Recently, I had my first big interview experience. I have interviewed for jobs before, but those required little thought or preparation.   This position, on the other hand, required much more time and effort. I ran for the graphic design intern position at Thirty-One Gifts in Columbus, Ohio. I originally found the position online and applied. To my surprise, they set up a phone interview with me. Of course, I was nervous for the phone interview, but I was not too nervous. For a phone interview, you can wear what you want and stare at the ground as much as you want without the interviewer knowing! I did research on the company to prepare. I guess my joyful voice and charming personality won over the recruiter because they invited me to their headquarters for an on-site interview. The moment I was told they wanted to interview, my mind started rolling. I truly love the Thirty-One brand, so I wanted to make sure I did the best I possibly could. Therefore, I had to do some work...

My philosophy behind “going Dutch”

-

Most people would agree part of what makes going out a date is one person pays for the other. It is almost expected. If you are like me, you think this is a stupid requirement. It does make sense and is acceptable if you are married or in a relationship, but I do not see how it is necessary in the early stages of dating. Personally, I prefer to “go Dutch.” For those who have not heard this term before, going Dutch means the couple pays separately on a date. Yes, this is uncommon and seems to have a negative connotation, but I do not see it as a bad thing. First, when a male takes a female on a date, he is almost expected to pay for the female. I think this has become the norm due to the gender stereotype which implies men should take care of women. Now, I am not saying this is bad, but it can be unfair. Now in days, both men and women work and make their own income. Therefore, why couldn’t each individual use the money they make to pay for their food, movie or whatever else t...
