Yes, I've Already Gotten In The Christmas Spirit

Even though it isn't even Thanksgiving.

Yes, I know this may be crazy but on the first day of November, I had my Christmas playlist already picked out as well as the list of movies I needed to see on Netflix. Personally, Christmas is my favorite holiday ever. There's something so special about this time of the year that makes it seem as if everyone feels this way as well.

Maybe it's the fact that there is a genre of music dedicated to this one holiday that no other has, or the fact that families gather around for this holiday and focus on giving. Or maybe it's because of all the traditions that are continued year after year. There are endless possibilities as to why Christmas is so joyful, my favorite being the attitude everyone has during this time.

Everyone is so cheerful and giddy that it truly does make my heart happy. I also have the opportunity to spend hours with my family not only on Christmas but before when prepping all of the mouthwatering Christmas cookies. Now I don't mean to brag but my Nana and I make the best cookies no argument necessary.

So this is why I have already gotten into the Christmas spirit, and yes I am not ashamed of it. I am so grateful to have this season to spend with friends and family, and I hope you do as well!

It is now Christmas time!

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.
