December is the month where neighborhoods put on their Christmas lights. Christmas lights show their Christmas spirit. During the daytime, the lights are not on. At nighttime, the lights are on. They blend with the night. They make the dark not scary as you drive. The lights are very beautiful and colorful. You can look at them as you drive to your destination. Christmas lights show that people are passionate about Christmas. These lights make us feel the spirit as well.

This year, a lot of houses have Christmas lights. Some houses have more Christmas lights than they did before. I would like to see it soon this month. I recall that my family and I go around the neighborhoods to see the Christmas lights. Each house has its own lights and decorations. Some houses have fewer lights and decorations. Other houses have more lights and decorations. I heard that some houses are competing with other houses when it comes to Christmas lights.

My family and I do not put on Christmas lights. Some family members think that we should while one family member thinks that we should not. We have to buy Christmas lights and they can be very expensive. Also, it takes a lot of time and effort to put Christmas lights on our house. The more lights you have, the more work you have. Some houses have a lot of lights. That means that the people living in those houses used a lot of time and effort to put them up.

After Christmas is over, neighborhoods start to put away their lights and decorations. Some houses still kept their lights on for a while until late winter. I miss the lights and decorations. However, I know that they will come back next Christmas. Do you put Christmas lights on your house? Do you like looking at Christmas lights?

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?
