Experiencing The Holidays With A Significant Other: As Told By Buddy The Elf

Christmas time is a beautiful time. Filled with awesome weather, TV shows, movies, family, snow, and much more. But when spending the holidays with a significant other they will have to adjust to handle your Christmas-lovin' self. Buddy the Elfcan guide just about anyone through the holidays, especially when experiencing it with a "special someone." Here are many inevitable situations your and your boyfriend/girlfriend will endure this holiday season:

1. They will witness you get way too excited for Christmas.

And they better love you for it.

2. You make a ridiculous amount of plans.

How many times are we going to see the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree?

3. Every time you enter a store, you feel the need to buy something for them.

It’s hard when everything you see is a perfect gift.

4. You will then have to realize that you can’t afford to get them everything you want.

It was a short-lived dream.

5. They will be able to notice your complete change in mood during the holidays.

The thought of Christmas makes you want to be a nice person for 1 month out of the year.

6. The holidays make you very mushy

All of a sudden you realize that you actually have feelings.

7. And as the weather continues to get colder…you get even mushier.

For some odd reason, you feel the need to vocalize these feelings…all the time.

8. Your s/o knows not to tell you that Santa isn't real.

How rude.

9. You will inevitably be dragged or drag your s/o to many family events, and they will have to memorize a ridiculous amount of names.

You probably don’t even know half of your extended family member’s names, but they will still try to learn them.

10.You won’t be ashamed to let your boyfriend/girlfriend see you eat unreal amounts of food.

It’s the holidays, it’s allowed.

11. They inevitably will not be able to keep up with your holiday spirit.

Oh, you’re sad you just failed your final?! Don’t be, because Christmas is in two weeks!

12. And finally, they will have to come to terms with the fact that you will quote "Elf" in every single situation possible.

Happy Holidays!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
