Finals are finally over after a tough semester and I can now celebrate the most wonderful time of the year in full swing. Counting down the days until Christmas!holiday cheer is much needed. The holidays are a time for friends, family and the act of giving. As a college student, here's a list of our favorite things during Christmas time!

1. Christmas Music

How can it be Christmas without Christmas music?! Whether it is classy Michael Buble or you are bumping to Ariana Grande, whatever your Christmas jingle jam is, it’ll be on blast for at least 25 days.

2. Gift Giving to your friends and family

3. Receiving Gifts

I know Christmas is all about the giving, but who doesn’t like receiving gifts?!

4. Ugly Sweaters

Though they may be ugly, we can’t get enough of buying them to take a cute Instagram pic for the holidays.

5. Holiday flavors

Peppermint, Gingerbread, pumpkin spice...Yes please, Starbucks here I come!

6. Cuddling

Whether it is with your spouse or if it is only with your dog, cuddling up after a long day just feels so right during the colder months.

7. Snow!!!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

8. Everyone putting their differences aside for holiday cheer.

The atmosphere is so different than any other time of year. Everyone seems cheery, helpful and kind around the holidays.

9. Decorating the Christmas tree and putting up Christmas lights.

Decorating is the absolute best! There is nothing better than admiring all of your hard work once you are finished.

10. Christmas movies

Christmas movies just put us in the mood, so grab a blanket, plop yourself on the couch and grab the popcorn!

11. Christmas Cookies

Let's be real, nothing beats milk and cookies.

12. Mistletoe

Kisses under the mistletoe count for something, right?

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
