Being extra is actually something I pride myself on being. I mean, who else do you know who has four different calendars that all basically say the same thing? I don’t even remember who it started but I would totally use the adjective of ‘extra’ to describe myself, and here’s why.

1. Having multiple calendars

Yes, you read that right earlier. I do have four different calendars, and they all basically say the same thing. I have one on my phone that helps me keep up with important dates, appointments, and what my family is doing. Then I have a calendar that sits on my wall, and I put big dates and assignments on there, but I mostly just have it for an aesthetic and to look at the cute pictures of Disney World. Then I have my agenda where I write down all my assignments, important birthdays, and events. The last one I have is just a standard printed calendar I just printed out from Google. I usually only use this one during the summer when my life just gets too crazy and I need it to be laid out and easy to just glance out. I know right.

2. Color Coordinated Shirts

The t-shirts in my closet are color coordinated. I keep all the black clothes on one side, and then it goes from darkest to lightest until it gets to the white ones. It’s not perfect yet because I haven’t messed around with the different shades of some of the colors like blue for instance, but it is getting there.

3. Keeping my fan on high all year round

I don’t care if it is the middle of December or the hottest day of the whole summer, my fan is staying on high all year. I think I just like the noise and the circulation but in my book, I can always put on a sweatshirt or get a blanket if I get cold.

4. Air Freshener Backups

In my room, I have one of those plug in Air Fresheners from Bath and Body Works and I have probably about six or seven backups for it at all times. It’s honestly not my fault because legitimately every time I go to the store they are having a sale, so it’s probably cheaper than just buying like two at a time.

5. Keeping my phone plugged in.

I am totally one of those people that cannot function if my phone dies on me. If I am sitting down at my computer for long periods of time I make sure to bring my charger and plug it in. I honestly get anxious if the battery drops below 70%. And yes, I do love to keep it on low power mode always.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
