Perks To Celebrating Christmas With Younger Siblings
Monica Montes

Everyone over the age of sixteen stops getting really excited about Christmas because the years of joy come to an end, you stop believing in Santa, you start heading towards the years when you can actually afford shopping and buying people gifts instead of receiving them all. Well not in my house. I am the second child out of four, ages ranging from twenty-three to seven. For us? Christmas never got boring. Here's what it's like to celebrate Christmas with younger siblings.

You can actually go shopping for them

You can eat the chocolate in their advent calendar when they don't want it

No one judges you when you run up to Santa with your siblings

You'll always have someone to watch Christmas movies with

Christmas crafts? Of course!

You start to believe in Santa for a bit because they still believe


They're always up for a drive around town to look at Christmas lights


It's totally okay to wear festive things in public because of them

You get to have the milk and cookies when they're asleep

You feel like the Grinch when his heart grows every Christmas Eve when they run to their beds to fall asleep.

Getting to watch them open presents in the morning makes you feel like a successful elf


Hope all the big kids enjoy this magical time of year with their younger siblings!

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
