As Christmas approaches, the temperature plummets, snow flurries cover the landscape, and decorations illuminate the streets. It is the time of the year where light shines through the thickest cloud and love eclipses animosity, when the time for giving arrives. Christmas is a time where wishes are granted, dreams are realized, and troubles are fixed.

Every year, people all over the world create a wish list for Christmas, a list that is comprised of toys, clothes, and other holiday presents. I began thinking about what a wish list for Guilford would look like. After interviewing several students, here are the most common responses:

GUILFORD CHRISTMAS LIST

PEACE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

This is Guilford isn’t it? I would be shocked if anything else was first

PERFECT GRADE-POINT AVERAGE

Maybe a little extra time in the library will help

BRING BACK THE OLD SERENDIPITY

Hundreds of kegs lined up throughout campus, why not?

CANCEL ALL FINAL EXAMS

Now this is what I call a wish!

TURF FIELD FOR ARMFIELD ATHLETIC CENTER

Keep wishing.

A PERFECT SEASON (FOR ATHLETES)

Every athlete’s dream

NEW ATTENDANCE POLICY

How is this wish last?
