Feelings of Christmas as Told by Supernatural

Have you ever realized there are stages to realizing it's Christmas?? Fear not if you haven't because here they are with a twist!

The Realization:

That moment around either Halloween or Thanksgiving (or July if you're like me) where you realize Christmas is coming with all it's glory and your life will soon look like a winter wonderland of lights and trees decorated in beauty.

Imagining the Perfect Christmas Morning:

Once you've realized Christmas is close, you start imagining what it'll be like when you watch your friends and family open the perfect gifts you got for them, and you can just smell those cookies that you baked, and there's music and laughter and love...

The Downside:

And then you remember that the presents and ingredients all cost money that you currently don't have so you have only a couple weeks to save up money, find the perfect gift, and get it shipped and/or wrapped all by December 25th. Plus you think of the family fight that will ritualistically pop up, and wonder if this is the year Grandpa Joe finally throws his shoe at cousin Louise when she brings up the Hillary vs Trump debate for the Nth time this year.

Actual Christmas:

You go to where ever you're meant to be this year, and realize all the trivial things are just that because you have the people you love and good food, and somehow, even if there's fighting, there will be at least one good moment you should remember about this years Christmas.

Plus, PRESENTS!!

Now that Christmas is here, enjoy it and don't be afraid to Instagram your food!!

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.
