My Wish List!
The holiday season is upon us and as a member of Generation Y, I expect tons of present to be given to me. Well, I think that's my duty to being Generation Y; we have been given so much in our lifetime that we have come to expect things just to given to us. Sadly, this is the case in too many of us. The prime example, I've had a cell phone since fifth grade! But I certainly didn't live a luxury life, to say the least.
"What do you want (for your birthday/Christmas)?": that's one of the toughest questions for me to answer; every year I'm asked it and I always replied "I don't know" with a shoulder shrug. I was determined to change that this year by creating a wish list! So I asked myself "What's cooler than being cool?", naturally the answer was "ICE COLD!" but that certainly didn't help. Then, I searched a place where I could definitely find something I desired, Amazon. After looking at Black Friday and Cyber Mondays deals, I came up empty once again. Good news everyone! I found some gift ideas for others while searching though!
After searching Amazon, I thought I just may not be searching for large enough items. So I thought about asking for a car but I quickly realized I have the perfect car for me, Electra. Anything bigger and it would probably be asking for too much (even for someone in Generation Y). So I'm stuck in the dilemma that I've been in the past few years, I still don't know how to answer that terrible question. But how will Santa and others know what to get me?
I've recognized I have everything that I need in my life, great friends and family. I also have all the tools/technology I need to communicate with them as often as I want. So do I really "need" anything? Nope, absolutely not; I'm as happy as a person can get (probably). I have always said that the simple life is for me. But the question was not "Do you need anything?", it was "Do you want anything?". Being a selfish Generation Y'er, my answer is "Of course". I want to remain healthy and continue to be surrounded by amazing people. Being a friend of mine is hard enough; asking for more would just be preposterous. And besides that, I treat myself very well (extremely well).
If you want to be an exceptional friend, maybe just invite me for a drink and have a nice chat? Maybe even throw a Festivus party.
P.S. But if you do have any suggestions to put in my wish list, that'll be greatly appreciated. Maybe I'll even make a wish list page on this site.
