12 Of The Most Overplayed Christmas Songs

In This Article:

It's the most wonderful time of the year - except it isn't, not when the time of the year has already been going on since before Thanksgiving. Christmas used to be the most exciting day, maybe even more so than my birthday. The presents, waking up before dawn, watching "A Christmas Story" on the movie channels all day long. So when did that end? When did Christmas stop being something to look forward to, and instead just another day? Maybe when the songs began playing in November, rather than in December where they belonged. (Okay, so the music isn't entirely to blame for my lack of enthusiasm regarding Christmas, but it certainly isn't helping.)

Note: I do not know the original writers of these songs. But I'm sure you can look at the titles, and have some version of them play in your head immediately.

1. Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree

2. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

3. All I Want For Christmas Is You

4. Jingle Bells (One Horse Open Sleigh)

5. Joy To The World

6. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

(This one in particular never fails to put a frown on my face.)

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
