Holiday Cheer Is Almost Here

The best time of the year

Holiday Cheer Is Almost Here
Wall Paper Safari

Well, now Thanksgiving break is here and all of us students are beyond thrilled to eat our favorite dishes that Mom cooks. Not even that, but now we can finally sleep for more than 5 hours a night and don't have to spend half the night studying our lives away. We get to spend time with our families and our best friends from our hometown for the first time since August. All of us know this break is going to go by too quickly and before we know it we're gonna be back to pulling those all nighters and living on caffeine.

Although this is all true, after Thanksgiving break we only have about 3 weeks until the best time of the year arrives. CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is not only the best holiday of the year, but definitely just the best time of the year as well. The first day of December is the start of happy spirits and good vibes for sure. About a week later many of us students will be stressing over final exams and what not, but still the whole month of December is happiness for everyone.

So, everyone has just got to try and hang in there. This is a stressful time for all of us because even though we have a break from school, we are constantly thinking about the school work we should be doing and we just can't help it.

The holiday season is finally here and all we want to do is eat Christmas cookies, open presents, and hangout by the fire place. Pretty soon we will all be able to do this, we just have to get through the rest of the semester which all we can.

All of our college friends are in the same boat, so we can celebrate the holiday cheer with them as well. While studying for finals everyone should take some time to enjoy December and the holiday cheer. Make holiday cookies with your roommates. Do a secret santa with your girlfriends. We can all find some fun in the midst of the very awful end of semester work.

It's just a reminder to enjoy the breaks and times with friends and family at home. We will all get through finals and will still enjoy the holidays.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
