10 Reasons Why We Love Christmas

SANTA'S COMING

1. RED AND GREEN

you see, I'm not a huge fan of either color but when you put them together in the month of December and BAM. magic.

2. Christmas trees

My absolute favorite is finding the perfect tree and putting it up in the living room. The smell of the tree covering the whole house and the lights twinkling through the windows. I may be slightly bitter because my family got the tree withoutme this year but maybe they can win my love back..maybe.

3. Christmas lights

Who doesn't love Christmas lights that blink along to jingle bells?

4. Christmas music

Jingle Bells, I Hear the Bells, Carol of the Bells..boy people sure are creative. I don't care what the song is or if I even like it. I am going to be playing Christmas music from Thanksgiving to New Years.

5. Cookies

They aren't just for Santa.

6. ABC Family 25 days of Christmas

Yes, it's called Freeform now but Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas does not have as much of a ring to it if you ask me.

7. Hallmark Christmas movies

They are nothing short of predictable and cheesy but thats what we love about them. I could have never seen the movie and I coud still quote all the typical sappy love lines and tell you what happens in the end.

8. Family time

It's all about learning you have a third cousin from Montana you never knew about.

9. Bath and Body Works Christmas Scent Candles

I currently have about 5 lit in my room. Enough said.

10. 8 lb 6 oz newborn infant Jesus

It's not just a Talladega Nighta]s quote. He is the single most important reason for this Holiday. Without Jesus we wouldn't have Christmas. The meaning of the word is Christ-mas, MORE CHRIST.

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.
