Typically, can be heard around the end of January to the middle of February, people milk that Christmas feeling as long as there is still the possibility of snow.

4. Christmas in July?

Literally this celebration is an irony. We celebrate another Christmas, in the same fashion, in some of the warmest weather of the calendar year. We weren’t creative enough so we just called this a second Christmas. Whatever.

5. Come on, it’s not even Halloween yet…

Some, at this point in the year (mid-late October), already have Christmas lights up “because it gets darker out earlier.” Some are already listening to “Deck the Halls.” This is the point where I literally cannot even with those people.

6. It’s literally November 1 people…

For some, Christmas traditions begin on November 1. Halloween ends and that tree is shining in the front window. Stores and retail push hardcore Christmas down consumers’ throats until they realize how close Christmas really is. But it’s not close.

7. You’re already listening to Christmas music?

I again go through this phase of being appalled at people who can listen to Christmas music all through November.

8. How can you overlook Thanksgiving?

It’s literally a holiday dedicated to giving thanks while eating a bunch of food. What’s there not to love??

9. Black Friday is already halfway over by the time it’s Friday.

Ever since Black Friday sales started at 6pm on Thanksgiving night, I have become even more bitter towards people who dine and dash to save a couple bucks in all the hoopla that is the stampede of Black Friday. Cyber Monday is more my speed.

10. Okay, December 1, time to break out the Christmas music.

Finally, the time has come when I feel comfortable enough to crank the tunes and prepare for a Holly Jolly Christmas.

11. It’s basically Christmas.

I get this feeling about December 20, when I can count on one hand how many days there are until Christmas, and let’s face it, just give me the egg nog now, it’s go time everyone.

12. IT’S CHRISTMAS.

December 24, December 25, same difference right? Christmas is in full gear!

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1121

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2554

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
