The Best Way To Spread Christmas Cheer Is Singing Loud For All To Hear
The Odyssey

I know its September, and this may get a lot of hate, but I love Christmas, and I celebrate it all year long. As I'm not a huge fan of Halloween, I usually decorate my apartment that day (unless I have Halloween plans), and I keep it up until after March Madness (April). Don't Judge Me! It's worked for me for 23 years so I'm not going to change now. In fact, I'm watching White Christmas right now! The worst day of the year for me is December 26 because all the magic for everyone else is gone...but not for me!

So I decided to put together a list of 25 reasons why Christmas is the best time of the year!

1. The Best Way To Spread Christmas Cheer Is Singing Loud For All To Hear.

2. ABC Family's (Freeform now) 25 Days of Christmas! The best 25 days of the year!

3. Hallmark Channel. Because these original movies are better than anything ABC Family has put out in years, and it goes from Mid November 'til January!

4. Lights! Christmas Lights are GORGEOUS!!!!

5. Christmas Music! Old and New...It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

6. Quoting Christmas Movies like Elf without getting weird looks.

7. Christmas Shopping can be stressful if you wait 'til the last minute or Black Friday. But the malls are amazing around that time!

8. Visiting the "A Christmas Story" House if you're in Cleveland, Ohio (Tremont).

9. Christmas Movies, like Home Alone.

10. Those incredible Christmas Displays that are huge and awesome in residential neighborhoods.

10. Or Amazing Christmas Window Displays like at the old Higbee Building in Downtown Cleveland!

11. SNOW!

12. Santa! I mean, who doesn't love the big guy in red?

13. The 4 main food groups: Candy, Candy Canes, Candy Corns and Syrup.

14. Baking, making, decorating and eating Christmas Cookies!

15. Christmas Parties! I know my whole family gets together for like, a 12 hours party every year! It's the best!

16. Presents, obviously! I mean they are so much fun!

17. Seeing friends and family that you don't get to see often. I mean, 'tis the season right?

18. The Winter Wardrobe is the best!!! Hats, Coats, Boots, Scarves, the whole nine yards.

19. Christmas Trees. Everywhere. The Bigger The Better!!

20. Leg Lamps....even if they are FRA-GIL-LAY

22. Christmas Smelling Things. MMMMMMM

23. Christmas Traditions...like mistletoe!

24. Christmas Sweaters...Cute and Ugly!

25. Last but not least, Jesus. The Reason For The Season Y'all.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
