When does the Christmas season commence for you?

When do you start to listen to Christmas music? Right after Halloween? After Thanksgiving? One week before Christmas? Or maybe only on Christmas? However and whenever you listen to Christmas music, your timing is not off. Some people listen to it all year round. I personally will start listening to it right after Halloween, November is the Christmas season for me.

Some people are actually angry if you’re listening to Christmas music before Thanksgiving, they don’t even want you to hum a Christmas tune. On the other hand, some people openly embrace the Christmas season in November, like the Hallmark Channel for example. I can’t stand Christmas movies, but I love Christmas music. The Christmas season is great, the snow, the music, and the generally happier people you encounter on the street.

Everyone starts the “festivities” at different times. Even within my own family we disagree on when is the right time to start “celebrating.” It’s common for people to get in the seasonal spirit at different times. Even when the holiday isn’t Christmas, there is a different timeframe everyone follows.

Thanksgiving is coming up soon, and after that, just about everyone is in the Christmas spirit. But if you’re feeling Christmas-deficient, just go to Walmart or Cracker Barrel, where they’ve been knee deep in the Christmas festivities for a while. And don’t be ashamed to jam out to some Christmas music pre-Thanksgiving, it’s perfectly normal to want to embrace the Christmas spirit before your friends.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. 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.
