The CC Weekly Weigh In: We Want It and We Want It Now

We know that we are supposed to appreciate what we have. We know that there are people out there in the world who would be grateful to have half of what we have. We know that we are some lucky mother f–kers.But sometimes we just want more. Hey, we’re human (and we are part of a consumerist generation).

Right now all I want is a giant bottle of water and a Costco sized bottle of Advil. I’d also like to know what happened to my camera, how I ended up coming home with only one shoe and why there was a mini eggroll in my bag when I woke up this morning. Oh, and I wouldn’t mind one of these.

I asked the CC writers for the #1 item on their Wish Lists. Feel free to fulfill their desires.

Erica – Kent State: Well, before today I had been anxiously anticipating running into my ex, looking gorgeous of course, and being able to nonchalantly blow him off. However, that moment has passed and didn’t go quite according to plan (I was walking on campus, ALONE, feeling especially anxious and SWEATY). Next on my wish list: a Tarina Tarantino ring (and my dignity back).

Julia – UC Berkley: To eat healthy again! I’ve gotten in a rut with sweets and I can’t get out of it!

A.G.D. – Emerson College: Graduate school. Oh, and getting Obama elected, obviously.

Melissa – College of Westchester: I need a six pack. Not of beer.

Sarabeth – University of Texas: I just want money in my back account. Getting a new Macbook and iPod touch emptied my checking.

Coco: To get over my scumbag ex-boyfriend.

Kate Bean – NYU: More than anything, I’d love to get some sanity

Jennifer: I don’t know his name, but I wish the hot guy I keep bumping into on the dorm elevator would just sweep me off my feet already. He rides elevators… I ride elevators… can’t he see we’re destined for each other? (But just in case that doesn’t work out, I suppose a new Coach bag would satisfy me!)

Conan – Columbia College: To speak Russian.

Lauren – University of Michigan: A man who doesn’t warn me before sex that, “this is gonna be quick.”

Kari – Florida State: A 32″ Vizio Plasma flat screen. Let’s face it, I don’t exactly make it into every game post-tailgate and I don’t want to forgo those up close and personal shots of FSU’s…tight ends.

Sara – NYU: I don’t know what I want, but I know I want it now.

John – UConn: In the general sense, I’d like a solution to institutionalized racism and sexism. Right now in particular, I want zero-calorie, high fiber, high protein fried potato wedges.

Carly – Grinnell: I really want to live somewhere, anywhere other than where I live now.

Noa – CU Boulder: 4 more years in undergrad.

J – NYU: The top 2 things on my personal wish list? That scientists will one day discover how to make donuts healthy, and that I bump into that guy I keep dreaming about during my pain-pill induced dreams.

Kelly – UMass: The Fendi Spy Bag. Never gonna happen, but a girl can dream. The bag’s like 4 grand. My first car was 3 grand.

K – NYU: A new job… so I can reward myself with that new Burberry watch I’ve had an eye on.

Victoria: 6 more weeks of summer! Where’s that freakish, fuzzily frightening groundhog dude when you need him?
