Christmas is right around the corner and if your holiday cheer isn't so cheery yet, I've got just the trick.

1. Decorate a Christmas tree

Giphy

If there's one thing to get you into the holiday spirit, it's decorating a Christmas tree. It's really the first step of starting the holiday, at least for my family it is. String on some lights, add some super fun ornaments and let Christmas begin!

2. Watch a few Christmas classics

Giphy

I think we can all admit we're a sucker for a good Christmas movie. Whether it's funny, romantic, or anything in between, watching a Christmas movie (especially if it's Elf or The Grinch, just sayin') is one of the best ways to enjoy Christmas time.

3. Go ice skating

Giphy

Not making any promises that you won't slip and fall, but going ice skating with friends or family is a perfect way to get those Christmas vibes flowing.

4. Drink a cup of hot chocolate, or 10

Giphy

I think this one speaks for itself. I mean, who can resist a warm cup of delicious hot chocolate?

5. Make a gingerbread house

Giphy

Let your creativity soar by decorating a gingerbread house that a gingerbread man could only dream of living in.

6. Have a white elephant party

Giphy

White elephants are a great way to get into the holiday spirit. And who knows, maybe you'll walk away with a huge tub of foot cream this Christmas.

7. Listen to some Christmas music

Giphy

If there's one thing that comes to mind when I think of the holidays, it's Christmas music. Blast some Christmas tunes and you'll be rockin' around in the Christmas tree in no time (pun intended)!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
