5 Giveaways Christmas Is Your Favorite Holiday, No Contest

Christmas is literally the BEST time of the year, from holiday movies to Christmas decorations there is not one bad quality about this special holiday. You give gifts to your loved ones, get to have hilariously awkward big family dinners, and for college students, the best of all is — WINTER BREAK.

If you have been questioning whether or not you are the Grinch or Buddy the Elf Himself, here are five sure signs that you are a literal Christmas Angel.

1.You count down to the Hallmark Channel Holiday Movies and FreeForm's 25 Days of Christmas.

Maybe you have a timer on your television, or maybe you literally added the premiere dates into your phones Countdown app - either way these movies are a wonderful way to get into the Christmas spirit! Who cares if they start at the beginning of November?

2. Decorating your tree is a job, everything has to be perfect.

You have special ornaments that need to be seen in the front, and ornaments that have to be towards to top. The star vs. angel debate is an inner crisis for you every year, causing a few sleepless nights and minor anxiety attacks.

3. Your house looks like a beautiful Christmas Wonderland, with what should be a prize-winning light show out front.

You have a beautiful tiny Christmas village along with small train either surrounding the village or your beautiful tree. Your light show should be on "The Great Christmas Light Fight" on ABC - because you would definitely win that $50,000 prize.

4. There is literally NEVER a bad time to start holiday shopping or talking about the holidays.

Christmas Music starts playing on the radio just before Thanksgiving, but you have been listening to your hand-made Spotify playlist for weeks. In fact, you probably have your shopping done before December. You treat Christmas time like the Olympics -- and you are certainly going for the gold.

5. Christmas Day is the best day of the entire year.

Sure, you spend time with family and you might have to be in 90 different places - or you are hosting a full house of people, but that doesn't matter to you. You have been baking cookies, preparing your holiday dinner, and delicately setting up packages to give out since last night, and you haven't slept but you have been watching the Christmas Story. Nothing can ruin this day. (Even when your younger relatives tell you they don't believe in Santa anymore and you can feel a piece of your heart break off.)

Don't be ashamed of your Christmas Spirit. Embrace being Buddy and know that you are certainly not alone, we have to make this holiday special for the people who are Grinchy. Keep up the good work Santa's little helper!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

University of Kentucky

pointsincase.com

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

The struggles of having an RBF are all too real

1. People asking if you're mad at them.

2. Those people who hand out flyers don't always try to stop you.

3. Creepy guys telling you to smile.

4. "I thought you were a bitch when I first met you."

5. People telling you you'd be "so much prettier if you smiled."

6. Doing your makeup and looking great, which somehow intensifies the bitch face.

7. Regularly explaining "it's just my face."

We all go through certain stages when we have a crush, Tina just explains it better.

That moment that someone you never looked twice at suddenly makes you do a double take out of no where.

But you can't have a crush, that's outrageous. It's all in your head.

Because you don't have a crush, there's no reason to tell anyone about anything. Right?

But then they do something irresistible and you start to lose it.

Now accepting the fact you have a crush, you have to keep it under control.

Then there's the part where you tell your friends who will claim they called it.

They'll be excited and cheer you on. That's until they realize that your crush is all you'll be talking about.

Your obsession has become so bad, that your Facebook stalking is getting out of control.

But your friends will try and help move things along any way they can. That doesn't mean it will be any helpful though.

As time goes on, you start having fantasies about the two of you and it's starting to scare you a little.

You can't focus on anything because all your attention is on them and everything they do.

Anybody who comes near your crush is now an enemy, and you are willing to fight for your crush.

When you see them, you act like an idiot. Trying to hide your feelings may not be as discrete as you think.

Keeping your feelings inside will start to be harder and harder until you can't keep it inside anymore.

Who knows, maybe it will work out? Take a chance.

Everybody hurts sometimes.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

1. You feel like an elder.

2. You may feel lonely.

3. Senioritis is more real than ever.

4. You may feel a little down sometimes.

5. Fear of missing out won't be as real.

6. You are a college pro.

7. You'll have more free time.

8. You're happy you're still in school.

9. You feel like a guru.

10. You continue to grow.
