8 Signs You're Too Festive To Handle
Odyssey

First of all, I've never seen a more accurate depiction of myself than the following:

I'm the type of person that's feeling holly and jolly as soon as my Halloween festivities are over. This year, I was already done going to all your typical costume parties by the 23rd. After that, I began dying for November to come, so that it would finally be somewhat acceptable to start jamming out to Mariah Carey and decorating everything I own in sparkly reds and greens.

November is finally here, and believe me, I've been jingling my friggin' bells since 11:59 P.M. on Halloween. I'll never know why, but I'm always at my happiest when it starts to get cold outside and every store you go to is decked out in Christmas decorations. I guess they call it "the most wonderful time of the year" for a reason, right? (I'm sorry, I hate my puns just as much as you do.)

If you think you're a hoe hoe hoe for the holiday season, you can probably relate to these 8 festive feelings.

1. Your Christmas playlist is loaded up and ready to be heard by anyone who enters your car or house.

And it's fully completed with this gem.

2. You've made, like, three cups of hot cocoa per day for the past week.

Complete with whipped cream, marshmallows, and maybe some extra flurries of hot cocoa powder or holiday-colored sprinkles.

3. All of your favorite blankets, fuzzy socks, and big sweaters are making a reappearance.

This is the most acceptable time of the year to look like a grandparent, why miss that opportunity?!

4. You're beginning to eat peppermint-flavored everything.

Gotta follow the four main food groups: "Candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup."

5. You're legitimately offended by people who think November is "too early" for, what I call, Pre-Christmas.

You're just too late, ya big ole Grinch.

6. You probably want to have a gingerbread house-building gathering at some point in the near future.

These might be the most competitive of all Christmas festivities, but they're so fun and definitely worth it.

7. You're pregaming for the "25 Days Of Christmas" with movies that subtly incorporate Christmas into them.

Let's face it -- any movie with Christmas in it is a Christmas movie. "Mean Girls"? Christmas movie. "Edward Scissorhands"? You guessed it. Christmas movie.

8. You're already almost done Christmas shopping.

You have to go full-blown Santa on your loved ones. Nobody who you care about will end the Christmas season empty-handed!

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
