13 Thoughts For The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Nano Buffet

The time is now here. November 1st. The beginning of the Christmas season. Yes, I understand that we still have Thanksgiving coming up - and I do enjoy Thanksgiving - but it's basically a warm-up for the big one. Thanksgiving doesn't haven't a season full of joy, and the three or four weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas simply aren't enough time tp celebrate Christmas. So it's here, the most wonderful time of the year.

1. It's time to give in to the madness

2. That means music

3. That means food

4. And of course...decorations

5. Also, red cups are coming

6. This is when it begins

7. We aren't deterred by those lacking in Christmas spirit

8. We are willing to stand up for our right to celebrate

9. But we want those haters to also get involved in the fun

10. So get those sweaters ready

11. Get your playlists set

12. Keep those movies and specials in mind

13. And have a wonderful Christmas season

So don't ever let people tell you its too early, because November 1st is a perfectly fine day to start getting in the Christmas spirit. All of the things that go along with it are amazing, and I am just as much a Christmas fanatic as anyone. Despite this, as we head into this Christmas season, everyone should remember why we get to have such a magical time in the first place.

"10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord." - Luke 2:10-11

Thats why this season is so amazing. All of this stuff is incredibly fun but the joy and generosity that we aim to bring in this season is a small yet crucial thing we can do to remember we are celebrating the birth of the Savior of all mankind. Not the Savior of just a few, but the Savior of "all the people".

Have a wonderful Christmas season!

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
