The holiday season is already upon us. Of course, we are all looking forward to the holiday cheer, music, family time, and delicious meals. But, it seems that each year every holiday comes faster and faster, premature to its actual celebration time frame.

Last Monday was just Halloween, and already department stores are covered in Christmas decorations and social media has taken over talking about Christmas music, baking holiday cookies, and putting up the Christmas tree. But, have we forgotten about Thanksgiving? With one of the most traditional holiday celebrations in our country just three weeks away, it seems to be pushed under the carpet.

One month stands between Halloween and "Christmas time" but apparently in many instances, November 1st means "Christmas time."

October 31st vs November 1st

I saw this post on twitter on Halloween, and I immediately thought it was funny, relatable and retweeted it. But the more I thought about it as the week went on and I continued to see similar posts, and hear people already talking about everything Christmas related I began to realize how rushed time and the holidays are. It's not necessary, and is overwhelming.

We need to live in the moment, and enjoy each celebration as it comes. Every season and each holiday brings its own set of good vibes, cheer, fun, love and moments.

Enjoy them, one at a time!

    Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

    Or at least try to do.

    New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

    1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

    Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

    And so it begins.

    1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

    Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

    December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
