9 Things To Be Thankful For After Thanksgiving

During Thanksgiving, what we're thankful for is topical conversation... but what about after?

9 Things To Be Thankful For After Thanksgiving

The week of Thanksgiving is usually one of the only weeks of the year we make it a priority to be actually vocally thankful for things, which is absurd!

Here are nine totally awesome things we can be thankful about after the Thanksgiving holiday as we begin the month of December.


1. Christmas Music

Now that Thanksgiving has passed, it's become socially acceptable to listen to Christmas music. When you want, where you want, and all you want. *rejoice!*

Here are two of my favorite Christmas jams: "Silent Night" by Johnny Cash and "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by Michael Bublé.




2. Kermit Memes

All across the board, Kermit memes usually leave me laughing hysterically, or internally screaming. I can't get enough of them.




3. Looking forward to the future where Lorde could potentially release a new album?

IT HAS BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE LORDE RELEASED AN ALBUM. Could 2017 be the year? I've had my fingers crossed for an album drop from Queen Lorde since this time last year... and since... the release of her first one...



4. Christmas Movies

This is the time of year when all those fantastic movie channels start playing Christmas movies.

Every.

Single.

Night.

Here is a link to Freeform (previously ABC Family)'s 2016 25 Days to Christmas lineup!


5. All the Holiday Makeup Collections

Some of the very exciting holiday collections to keep an eye out for include:

1. Urban Decay's Holiday Full Frontal Reloaded Vice Lipstick Set $325

2. Lush Cosmetics Father Christmas Wrapped Gift Set $49.95

3. Too Faced Grande Hotel Café $49

4. Zoella Beauty Spa in a Jar $13.80

5. Stila Star Light, Star Bright Highlighting Palette $39



6. Christmas Candy

As soon as Halloween ended, Christmas candy of all sorts started stockpiling on shelves in Wal-Mart, and just about every other store you can think of. My favorite holiday candy to keep stashed around? Hershey's Cherry Cordial Kisses. You can find me with them under the mistletoe.


7. Christmas Shopping

I love Christmas shopping! I love that feeling of buying nice little presents for the special people in my life. I also love getting involved in gift exchanges, because I love the mystery of secret gift exchanges. Also, Christmas wrapping paper is just too fun.


8. Elf reruns on TV

No explanation necessary.





9. She and Him Christmas Albums

God bless Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward for the creative take they've gifted us with the She and Him Christmas albums. Seriously, Christmas time would be very different without them.

I'm beyond glad that it's now a socially acceptable time of year to bump these festive jams at all hours of the day.





So... Maybe all the things I have to be thankful for after the Thanksgiving holiday have to do with Christmas time, but that's just fine with me.

Some of the more important things, like family and friends and home cooked meals I felt went without having to be said (because I'm thankful for all three at all times of the year, especially during the week OF Thanksgiving).

What are some things you're thankful for? Share, comment, and let me know!

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
