  6. Cheesy goodness at Courtside
  7. Groundhogs!!!
  8. College Green’s peaceful vibes
  9. How easy is it to avoid a hill aka Baker Center
  10. The townies. Let’s be honest, they’re pretty entertaining.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies.

Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.
