12 Reasons Why Christmas is the King of Holidays

As finals come to a close we'll finally be able to relax and enjoy Christmas the way we should. Christmas is my all time favorite holiday as we celebrate the birth of baby Jesus with gifts among your family and friends. Some people hate Christmas, but I'm here to tell you that it's the King of holidays and if you don't believe me hopefully this list will change your mind.

1. Gifts

Okay, I know Christmas is not all about gifts. But I think it's nice to feel appreciated and to see that someone went out of there way to spend money on you.

2. Family Time

I love my family and Christmas time is the only time we spend the entire day together at home. Most of the time we get annoyed by each other after 5 minutes, but it was nice while it lasted.

3. Cookies

Christmas cookies are the bomb.

4. Eggnog

Not a lot of people like eggnog, but to me eggnog is the Queen of all holiday drinks.

5. Hot chocolate

Hot chocolate is the King of holiday drinks. It is not Christmas if you are not drinking hot coca in your pajamas while you open gifts.

6. The Music

Do ever hear people singing Easter carols? No, because they don't exist. Christmas time is when you'll hear festive music that makes you feel. There are sad Christmas songs, happy Christmas songs and songs that make you want to dance around the tree.

7. Baby Jesus

Personally, my favorite thing about Christmas is hearing the story of the birth of Jesus. Not everyone is religious, but I think that we can all agree that it is one of the most beautiful story ever told.

8. No school

Christmas marks winter break which is usually about 3 or 4 weeks long if you're in college. You don't know what your GPA will look like, but you might as well enjoy those presents while it lasts.

9. Ugly Sweaters

Ugly Christmas sweaters never go out of style. You can wear them every single year and it would still be the ugliest sweater anyone has ever seen.

10. A Christmas Story

This is one of the greatest Christmas movies ever made. It comes on year after year and after 3 decades it never fails to entertain.

11. Every Christmas Movie

I'm lying because there is a huge selection of A+ Christmas movies to choose from like the Polar Express, which is as amazing as A Christmas Story.

12. Santa

Okay spoiler alert, Santa Claus isn't real, but I like to think that someone like him exists in the world bringing Christmas cheer to those in need.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
