Once Halloween comes and goes people are excited for Christmas to be here. They're all things Christmas. Even though, Thanksgiving hasn't passed they're all about Christmas. But now that Thanksgiving is over we can officially be excited for Christmas. From the music to the tree decorating and gift giving people are excited for Christmas for many many reasons!

Heres a list on what were excited during Christmas season;

1.) Decorating the Christmas tree

Growing up as kids we loved to decorate the tree because we loved seeing the tree and were excited about the presents but now that were growing up we decorate it because it can be fun and a stress relief.

2.) Seeing the Christmas lights

As kids we loved getting in the car and driving around town looking at the Christmas lights from home to home and just singing Christmas carols and making memories.

3.) Making Cookies

As college kids we look forward to eating in general. But eating the cookies once they're warm and fresh out of the oven is always a wonderful memory growing up. But now were more likely to eat the cookie dough over the actual cookie. Nothing wrong with that.

4.) Gift Giving

We as college kids sometimes don't know what we want for Christmas but do we ever really know? But when it comes to giving gifts to friends and family we already know exactly what were getting for them.

5.) White elephant gift exchange

We all love doing the white elephant gift exchange because its fun, easy and exciting. But getting to draw someones name and spend a limited amount of money just for fun, makes the gifts super memorable for everyone.

6.) Christmas Movies

We all love those super cheesy, classic Christmas movies we know all the words too. From the Christmas story to How the Grinch stole Christmas and we can't forget about Elf, and how we love all theses movies and even rewatch them during non winter seasons.

7.) Family bonding

Sometimes holidays bring families closer but they also can tear us apart. But we have to remember that the holidays are supposed to happy times. We love to cherish those special times together.

8.) Holiday food

Of course we can't forget about all the holiday food. As college kids we long for theses holidays for several home cooked meals and all the leftovers we can eat. Some look forward to the turkey, or the ham. While some of us are more excited about all the desserts such as pie or even homemade cookies.

No matter, how old we are we will always find something to cherish and enjoy making the memories around the holiday season.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
