It's no secret that people really hate when others start celebrating Christmas before Thanksgiving is over. That being said, Can we celebrate Christmas now, since Thanksgiving has passed?

After reading countless articles about how it's wrong to listen to Christmas music before thanksgiving takes place, I think I am ready for some Christmas music. I will had to admit, I don't usually like to listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving. It's not because I don't think people appreciate being thankful before wanting things. It's simply because I enjoy have my holidays in order and not diving into them too early. My Zodiac is a libra and we're all about balance. Playing Christmas music at thanksgiving is tipping the scales.

I feel Christmas has a distinct feeling that everyone can relate to. It's hard to describe, but I guarantee you know what I am talking about. When you hear Christmas music you start to feel a certain way. Let's say "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" starts playing. That song is associated with the things that change when Christmas comes. I like to wait for Christmas music, because the seasons have to progress. It's hard to be in a Christmas mood when songs are talking about snow and there's not even any snow on the ground. Although I am ready to embrace the magic of Christmas music. I still can't fully get into the mood because where I live currently there is no snow and mostly rain. Not exactly the ideal weather to get you ready for Christmas.

Despite not being in a Christmas mood I do my best to force myself into a Christmas spirit. I find the best way to do that is Christmas shopping and no.. I don't mean black Friday shopping. That is a completely different thing and we aren't even going to go there. I mean actual Christmas shopping. Going out when December first begins and head to the mall and start searching for things people would like. Hoping you can find a nice deal without having to kill someone like black Friday.

I realize people have different feelings aboout Christmas too early or Christmas too late, but at the end of the day. We're going to celebrate Christmas how we want and when we want. No one can tell us different and that's okay. In my opinion, I think it is now time for Christmas!

I realize not everyone happens to celebrate Christmas, it just happens to be the Holiday I celebrate. To all of those who celebrate differently. 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.

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.
