Christmas

I love Christmas because not only is it the best time of year but because every once is so much nicer and the world is just so full of cheer.

My favorite Christmas tradition would have to be hanging out with family on Christmas Eve, just playing board games and singing karaoke until the clock strikes midnight and we can all open our gifts. It's obviously not about the gifts, it should never be, but the only reason I like it is because it reminds me of my childhood and how excited i used to be every single Christmas. I become a kid again at the dawn of Christmas Day, and I love it!

One of my favorite Christmas gifts of all time would have to be when I got my Nintendo wii! It was the best because it was so new at the time and "Just Dance" was the best game to play on it by far!

I will always love Christmas because I get to be with my family and close friends, all united for the best time of the year where we can be in our pajamas, wrapped up in blankets, drinking hot cocoa and watching Christmas movies! That it my ultimate goal in life, when I become older and start my own family, to have the best Christmas every year!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
