Even though most of us are still digesting our Thanksgiving dinners, I'm fully ready for the festive Christmas season to be in full swing. Here are some of the things I'm most excited for, and deep down, I know you're just as excited.

1. Bright Christmas lights.

The only good thing about the sun setting at 5:00 is being able to see bright Christmas lights earlier!

2. The anticipation and excitement before opening a present.

It's just sitting there under the tree, taunting us.

3. The satisfaction of ripping open wrapping paper.

Ripping it is sometimes better than the present itself.

4. The satisfaction of perfectly wrapping a present with a bow on top.  

Giphy

Martha Stewart can fight me.

5. Christmas Music. 

Giphy

Christmas music never fails to put me in a festive mood.

6. Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" on repeat. 

Simply iconic.

7. The excitement of buying gifts for other people and awaiting their reaction. 

Giphy

One of my favorite things ever.

8. Ugly Christmas Sweaters. 

Giphy

An excuse to be even more extra festive.

9. Revisiting your favorite Christmas movies. 

Giphy

A big blanket, warm cup of hot chocolate in hand, the tree is lit in the corner, and you have a large stack of Christmas movies to go through. What could be better?

10. And watching really cheesy ones too. 

Impatiently waiting for The Christmas Prince: A Royal Wedding. Meghan Markle, move over.

11. Peppermint Hot Chocolate.

Giphy

And white hot chocolate, caramel hot chocolate, hazelnut hot chocolate, creme brulee hot chocolate, the options are endlessly wonderful.

12. Actually, the whole Starbucks Holiday Menu.

Giphy

When the red cups come out, it's officially Christmas time.

13. Baking.

Giphy

What's better than the smell of freshly baked cookies?

14. Spending time with family and friends. 

Giphy

Christmas is a great time to be thankful for all you have.

15. Watching A Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.

Giphy

When the whole community gets together for some hot chocolate and pretty Christmas trees.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
