The holiday season is upon us and Christmas is just around the corner. You know what that means; it's just about time to put up those Christmas decorations. Break out the warm, fuzzy blankets, socks, and pajamas, watch Christmas movies all day and put that Christmas playlist on loop. Now if you’re anything like me, the holiday season excites you way too much, so you have probably done all of those things the day after Halloween. But, there is much more to the holiday season than the decorations, music, movies and fuzzy lounge-wear. If you get overly excited about anything holiday-related like me, then you probably have a case of "Obsessive Christmas Disorder", also known as OCD. Here are 5 signs that you have OCD, as told by Buddy the Elf:

1. You automatically transform from spooky to jolly the day after Halloween.

And no, you're not skipping Thanksgiving, despite what people lay think. You realize Thanksgiving is still a holiday, and you love Thanksgiving because who doesn't love eating food all day and then falling asleep on the couch? You just enjoy getting into the Christmas spirit a little earlier than most people.


2. You get overly excited when you see Christmas decorations and hear Christmas music in the stores.

Seeing Christmas decorations and hearing Christmas music in stores means that it is real and socially acceptable to display your decorations and blast Christmas music. FINALLY!


3. You don't understand how or why some people don't get excited about the holiday season.

I mean, how could anybody hate Christmas? It's the most wonderful time of the year, after all. If you come in contact with these people, ignore them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life. No one likes a Grinch.


4. This is pretty much your reaction when you drink anything other than hot chocolate, your holiday drink of choice.

But no matter what you're drinking, it has to go in a festive Christmas mug. Regular cups become nonexistent and irrelevant this time of year.


5. This is pretty much your mood from November 1 through New Years.

No matter where you go or what you are doing, there's a smile on your face. You're practically radiating Christmas spirit. And if you have a severe case of OCD, you might even be humming Christmas carols to yourself.

If you related to any of these signs, then you probably have a mild to severe case of OCD, the jolliest "disease" anyone could ever have! Welcome to the club! And remember, "the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!" Happy holidays!

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.
