10 Things that are Only Acceptable in the Month of December
Shatta Lyrics

1. The mass of Trader Joe's peppermint flavored Items

Trader Joe's is probably my favorite grocery store to visit during the month of December. They fill their aisles with mounds of Holiday Treats including their peppermint bark. I also feel better eating these treats because of Trader Joe's being organic.

2. Cranberry Bliss Bar from Starbucks

You can only get these now, and if you can stock up. They sell them in bulk at your local Starbucks, be careful.

3. Any Holiday drink from Starbucks

Yay festive cups! My personal favorite drink is the Carmel Brûlée Latte.

4. Chai Tea


For me personally, it feels wrong to drink Chai in any other month besides December. Sweet or Spicy, this drink is sure to warm the heart of any Grinch.

5. Your Mom's Christmas Cookies

Everyone's family has those cookies that come back every year. There only here for a little bit, so might as well eat them right?

6. The Holiday Scented Candles from Bath and Body Works

Look out for massive sales. I know you want your room smelling like a Christmas Tree all the time.

7. Candy Canes

These are another item that are usually just not available year round. Stir your hot chocolate with them, or just eat them alone.

8. Micheal Buble's Holiday Album

On repeat.

9. Red Nail Polish


Red nail polish always seems like too mature of a color for me until I get to December.

10. Sparkles



Although I think sparkles should be an everyday essential, New Years does make it a little bit more accepted in December.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
