For some, getting into the Christmas spirit isn't so much an annual process as it is a default personality. While friends and family gripe over storefronts displaying holiday decorations as early as October, closeted Christmas fanatics do their best to keep their excitement to a socially acceptable level. Here are 15 all too real things experienced by people who are literally always excited for Christmas.

1. You listen to Christmas music whenever you feel like it.

Who's to say when you can and can't listen to some Mannheim Steamroller classics?

2. Come December, you perform in a live nativity scene.

7th Heaven just made it look so cool.

3. You use Halloween to workshop your costume for said live nativity scene.

Always be improving.

4. The Christmas season officially begins the first time you feel cold.

Office air conditioning set too low in mid-August? Christmas is upon us.

5. You have gotten into actual fights over whether it's okay to listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving.

6. Your natural disaster/zombie apocalypse stockpile includes egg nog.

Always be prepared.

7. You don't understand the "ugly" part of "ugly Christmas sweater."

You have more than 30, and they're all b e a u t i f u l.

8. You know how to order a peppermint mocha at Starbucks any day of the year.

9. You took a break while reading this list to visualize your Christmas tree placement.

I'll wait.

10. People who think The Nightmare Before Christmas is a Christmas movie are dead to you.

Never honor this incorrect opinion.

11. Speaking of which, you have an ironic obsession with terrible Christmas movies.

12. You've sat on mall Santa's lap as an adult (and have photos).

13. You can never have enough Christmas decorations.

What is too much.

14. Nothing brings out your judgment like bad (aka LED) Christmas lights.

Please move out of my neighborhood or become Jewish or both.

15. You're upset this isn't a list of 25 things.

Listen to some Michael Buble Christmas music and blow off some steam.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential.

And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
