Is It Too Early For Christmas Music?

"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."

Is It Too Early For Christmas Music?

It seems like every year, I have this debate with myself (and everyone around me) as to when it is socially acceptable to start listening to Christmas music. Every year, I think this is something that a lot of people struggle with. Even the radio stations don’t know whether to kick it off the day after Halloween with some subtle classics or wait until the first day of December to jump into the holiday season with song Bing Crosby. Either way, there is no denying that my love for Christmas music and the holiday season makes me a Christmas all-year-round kind of girl.

Needless to say, the Christmas season has already started for me, and my ears are enjoying Michael Buble’s melodic voice that puts me right to sleep after a long day of studying. If you ask me, the holiday season deserves to come a little early.

Why? Because the holiday season is the greatest time of the year (in my personal opinion). Spending time with family, reminiscing with old friends and partaking in all of the fun activities that accompany this time are some of the greatest memories that live on in my mind.

Everyone is always a little nicer around the holiday season. We look forward to the time we get to cherish with loved ones. We look forward to relaxing at home. We look forward to the joy that this season brings.

In a world that is constantly changing, embracing the values of the holiday season is something we should all do. So what’s wrong with that mentality coming a little early? If only every day could be like Christmas, right?

Whether you’re into Mariah Carey or Frank Sinatra, we all have our favorite Christmas tunes that we look forward to hearing each year. Even though it’s early November, don’t be afraid to whip out those classics now. Happy listening!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
