It's officially the most wonderful time of the year, everyone!! There's so much to be excited for. Fall may be my favorite season but Christmas is DEFINITELY my favorite holiday. Here's 8 reasons Christmas is the greatest holiday.. ever.

1) Shopping, shopping, shopping

While some hate it, I LOVE shopping for Christmas gifts.. or shopping in general. This is the season that gives me a reason to shop shamelessly for others and myself.

2) Hi friends, hi family!

You're home for the holidays! Everyone is home for the holidays! It's so great be able to gather around and celebrate an amazing time of the year together with the ones you love.

3) No. School. OMG.

Praise God, y'all because we made it! Four months of agony, studying, and crying is over for a whole month! It's such a great feeling to be able to kick back and relax and not stress over any school work.

4) Decorations galore

Everything is so elegant and beautiful. From the Christmas trees to the stockings. It's even better at night when all the lights are turned on. And come on, I can't be the only one who loves driving around just to see how others decorate their homes.

5) Christmas music is officially acceptable.

Yeah, I mean, you could listen to Christmas music anytime of the year (if you want to be judged), but there's never a more perfect time to listen to Christmas music than around Christmas time! I'm listening to my man Michael Bublé as I'm typing.

6)The festivities.

The caroling, church plays, town events. All of it is so enjoyable and gets me so much more in the Christmas spirit.

7) Gifts

Self-explanatory. Who doesn't love gifts, amirite?

8) Jesus!!!

And let's not forget THE MOST important reason for it all, the birth of our Savior, Jesus. We wouldn't be celebrating this holiday without Him. He's the center of it all. I mean, you know what they say: "He's the reason for the season!"

Wishing everyone a merry, merry Christmas! Hope you guys spend lots of time with your families and friends. Extra blessed to be able to celebrate this holiday because of the birth of our King.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

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.
