5 Signs You're Christmas Obsessed

It's ALWAYS the most wonderful time of the year.

1. You can quote Christmas movies like it's your job.

Your friends are literally horrified when you start

quoting your favorite holiday movies word for word even when you don’t have the movie playing. You just wish you could do that with all the information you have to remember for finals.

2. You lose yourself in the Christmas section, in any store, AT LEAST twice a week.

You’re basically a team member at the store now and should probably ask the manager for a promotion. You spend your entire shopping trip in the Christmas section trying to decide if you should spend money on the $10 Christmas colored moose stuffed animal or the $15 multi-colored star tree topper when we all know you’re going to end up buying both.

3. Your life revolves around Christmas music.

Give you the aux chord? Only if you’ve got Hillary Duff’s fire Christmas album ready to blast through my speakers. If you can’t find the Christmas radio station, you’ve got a Spotify playlist ready to go as your back up plan. And if you’re anything like me, you’ve even got the old-school reinforcements, CDs. So don’t worry, from November 1^st to December 25^th, we’ll be bumping to Jingle Bells.

4. You firmly believe that November 1st marks the beginning of Christmas.

Literally as soon as the clock strikes midnight on October 31^st, you rip off your Halloween costume and instantly transform into Santa. Instead of dancing around to “Monster Mash” and shoving your face with candy corns, you’re now going hard to “What Christmas Means to Me” by Stevie Wonder while you make your way through a whole pack of candy canes.

5. You're a very real version of Buddy the Elf.

You truly believe that the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear. You love Santa and the thought of him coming to town has you so giddy that you can hardly contain your excitement. You can't wait to decorate every inch of your house and your friend's house and your workspace and your car and literally anywhere else that can possibly be decorated with something Christmas themed. You just want to see Christmas EVERYWHERE.

But some people aren't as stoked about Christmas as we are and they'll tell us to calm down. But don't sweat it, kid. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being obsessed with Christmas.

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. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. 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. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
