It is once in a blue moon that two holidays fall on the same day. Once before that Hanukkah and Christmas Eve or Day have been together. We all know that there are 12 days to Christmas and 8 crazy nights for Hanukkah. But what happens when it happens again this year?

1. Presents

I will be not only working on Christmas Eve (do not worry, my job closes at 5), but I will be heading to my boyfriends to open presents and eat with his family. Then I will be heading home to light our menorah and open a present or two from my family. I know it seems greedy, but I get double the amount of presents the first night due to Christmas.

2. Food

The amount of that will be devoured is ridiculous! I cannot even begin to describe how many calories that I will be consuming in first two days. Both my mother and his family make delicious meals. Along with those meals is dessert.

3. Family Time

All of the laughs on a daily basis become louder and funnier. Now we need to talk over holiday music or movies. Somebody is bound to say or do something stupid and your stomach will be hurting and tears will be running down our faces.

The last time anything like this happened was way back in 2005. 11 years ago people!! It could be worse, Hanukkah could have been during Thanksgiving again. That has also happened.

Wishing everyone a Happy Hanukah and a Merry Christmas.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
