Reasons the Christmas Season is the Best

Everyone I know absolutely loves the Christmas season. Some are even slightly obsessed with it but I won't completely call him out. However, there are reasons we all love it so much. Now, I wasn't able to come up with many reasons because of just how much I love it but here are a few reasons the Christmas season is the best ever.

1) The Possibility of Snow

Okay, so I realize that we don't always get a white Christmas. In fact, I feel like I rarely see snow. However, knowing that there is a possibility of it makes me excited. Sorry, I love snow.

2) The Food

There are some candy and foods that are only available this time of year. I'll own up to having an addiction to chocolate oranges. Sorry not sorry. They're literally my favorite thing ever but are only available during this time of year.

3) The Music

Christmas music is awesome however, it is only appropriate during this time of the year. Not that Thanksgiving is over I will have Christmas music playing 24/7. As I am writing this, I'm listening to Christmas music. Face it, you know you love it.

4) The Funny Christmas Sweaters

Disclaimer: I don't own any Christmas sweaters. That being said, I absolutely love seeing them in stores. I even love seeing pictures form ugly Christmas sweater parties. It's very entertaining to me and I'm sure others feel this way as well.

5) The Movies

This is literally my favorite part of the Christmas season. I love Christmas movies so much. I watch them all year round however it's just not the same. Being able to turn on the TV and just flip to a channel and see a Christmas movie makes my heart so happy. I have a problem. I accept it.

6) The Decorations

I can't be the only one that drives around looking at Christmas lights during this time of the year. Christmas trees are the cutest thing ever in my opinion. Christmas decorations in general make me happy and I'm sure many of you feel the same way.

7) Christmas Break

Now, the reason most people love the Christmas season, Christmas break. Who doesn't love a month off of school to be home with your family and friends? I know I do. After the struggles of first semester, we all deserve it and I know everyone counts down the days.

Clearly, I am a tad bit in love with the Christmas season. Knowing I'm not the only one makes it a little better. If anyone needs someone to go look at lights or to watch Christmas movies with, hit me up. It would make me so happy!

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
