Christmas: a celebration that comes every year,
Though joyous and bright, many forget; and only see strife.
Time for believing and filling hearts with warmth and cheer,
Let's focus on how changing gears can rid the world of this seasonal rife.

Snowflakes frozen with great care, add specific aesthetic to the gleeful air,
Bringing forth angels in white, inviting messages to keep us vernal;
Not to mention colors so crucial to honor His crucifixion and devotion eternal.
So remember, tis the season of giving and He who guides us in prayer.

Oh blessed Christmas star, guided by three men ever so wise,
Manger filled with myrrh, incense, and gold;
Filled with love and birth, away from the cold,
Lightened with candles warming their spirits until first sunrise.

Star of the north bringing forth a new beginning,
Uncovering that Christmas time and its Thanksgivings are the true meaning;
For being thankful and giving, not wanting, might even refrain us from sinning.
Arise to the distant morn, the season lives on through a spiritual greening.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
