11 Things Yule Only Get If You Love Christmas

1. The Starbucks Cup

Nothing screams "it's Christmas time!" like those beautiful Starbucks Christmas cups. Sure they got backlash a year ago, but have you seen them this year?! Beautiful! In fact, I may just go get a soy toffee nut latte right now.

2. Michael Bublé.

Who doesn't want a voice as smooth as his serenading you with Christmas music while you sip your Starbucks latte in a coffee shop? I mean, this Canadian Cutie has one of the best Christmas records of all time. He's just so dang classy with his Sinatra-like crooning.

3. Christmas Cookies

I don't know about you, but as soon as December 1st hits, BOOM! I become a baking extraordinaire. Not that I don't bake the other 11 months of the year, but it all becomes heightened during the Christmas season.

4. ALL. THE. CHRISTMAS. MOVIES.

Let's be real here, this type of thing starts the day after Thanksgiving. I may or may not be speaking from experience...

5. Ugly Christmas Sweaters

To be fair, cardigan season starts in autumn. But we definitely up the ante when it comes to Christmas sweaters. After all, who doesn't love a good ugly Christmas sweater party??

6. Warm Drinks

A little taste of warmth going through your body feels amazing in the cold winter, whether it be something as simple, like hot chocolate, or something fancy, like mulled wine or a skinny peppermint mocha.

7. A Warm Fireside

Whether it be the subtle crackling of the fireplace or the faint smell of an apple cinnamon or vanilla peppermint coming from that Yankee Candle in your room, the smell of fire just adds an extra sense of coziness (even if you live in a warm/tropical area).

8. Lights, trees, and decorations

By this point, it is evident that a lot of people have jumped on the "I love Christmas Bandwagon." But we special snowflakes (see what I did there) who love Christmas become filled with glee, just because the world gets just a little happier around Christmas time.

9. Getting Bundled Up

There's something about scarves, hats, gloves, blankets and FUZZY SOCKS. And I don't know what it is, but this 'something' fills people with anticipation for the coming season. Plus, fun wintry prints add more festivity (as if you needed that). Like, c'mon, imagine having all of these in your closet to keep you nice and toasty...

10. Shopping

Normally shopping is relatively fun, but when it is for Christmas, it becomes about a million times better and more exciting. You have to find that perfect gift for your best friend. Challenge accepted.

11. And, finally, Christmas Music

If you're crazy for Christmas, then listening to Christmas music starts on November 1st. Bring on Justin Bieber's Misletoe, and if that's not your style, please refer to #2 on this list.

Party on my Christmas Party People!

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

975

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2483

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
