7 Things I Love About The Holiday Season

In my opinion, November and December are the absolute best months of the year. At this point in the semester, I am ready for a break. I am swamped by exams and papers and all I want to do is to curl up in a ball and eat food. The one thing that keeps me going is knowing that it’s my favorite season, and that I get to look forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas break.

1. Delicious food.

The months of November and December are filled with reasons for celebrating. With celebration comes delicious food. I for one am excited for Thanksgiving and Mom’s Christmas cookies!

2. Perfect weather.

Okay, maybe I get sick of the snow and the cold come January, but who doesn’t love chilly weather during the holiday season? It’s the perfect excuse to make a cup of hot chocolate! It brings back great memories of going sledding as a little kid.

3. Family!

I know so many people who complain about having to see relatives during this time of the year, but for a college student it’s the best. I never get to see my family so I cannot wait to get to see everyone (and not talk about the election).

4. Decorations.

I absolutely love coming home to the house all decorated for Christmas. It’s cozy and it makes me feel like a little kid again.

5. Shopping!

Sure the stores stock up with seasonal items too early, but I love department stores that smell like Christmas! Also, Black Friday Shopping.

6. Clothes.

Fall and winter clothes are the absolute best because you can layer comfy layers of sweaters and look like you tried.

7. Traditions.

My favorite part about the holiday season is getting to experience my favorite traditions. Thanksgiving Day means waking up early to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with my family, and at noon listening to Alice’s Restaurant on the radio. These are the things that I will never forget.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
