Reasons You Should Be Excited For Christmas

google

Hello, Christmas! It’s okay to be thinking of Christmas since it's November, we are all excited for the holiday season to come. Christmas time is the best time of the year. You get to spend time with family, eat a lot of candy canes, and get drunk on hot chocolate. If you are a Christmas freak like me, then get your tree and ugly sweater out and let the Christmas spirit get to you. Here are 10 reasons why you are so excited for Christmas. (Just by writing them out, I already get super excited!!)

1. Christmas Music

You can finally stop hiding the fact that you have been listing to "All I Want For Christmas " since June. I'm ready to have Justin Bieber "Mistletoe" on replay and have the whole house singing "Jingle, Jingle, Jingle Rock!"

2. Christmas Food

As the Holidays come around, so does Mr. Tom the Tummy and it's totally OKAY! Get ready to have candy cane for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as your everyday snack. I can totally taste and smell the Christmas Ham!

3. Family Time

Spending time with the family is the best part of the Holidays. You get to play fun games, watch movies, eat lots of food, and most of all they bring you presents!

4. Presents

Wrapping presents and picking them out are my favorite things in the entire world. Come on, you can never go wrong with a new pair of socks or a new shirt.

5. Christmas Movies

Get ready for the non-stop Christmas movie marathons. Hey, I know you're not mad about it! Harry Potter marathons and watching Elf nonstop is such a Christmas tradition.

6. Christmas Decorations

Nights turn into daylight with all the lights around the neighborhood! You can never go wrong with decorating the tree, that's the best part about Christmas.

7. Hot Chocolate

One Word: MARSHMALLOWS!!

8. Winter Weather

The cold weather, the snowy nights, and most importantly snow days!

9. Christmas Shopping

Someone, please lock me in my room because I'm going to spend a lot of cash at Target!

10. The Christmas Spirit

Christmas is the best part of the year and it's finally here! People can finally come together, enjoy a little vacation, and be happy that they have so many blessings!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
