5 Things Everyone Born Around The Holidays Absolutely Loves

If you were born between December and January 1, you know how your birthday/Christmas season plays out. The music, the decorations, the food, the parties - all good spirit until they threaten to overrun your own personal holiday. As a holiday baby, I would like to take a moment to recognize a couple things I and other holiday babies just love about this time of year.

1. Our Finest Gifts We Bring.

Oh yes, we love the combined Christmas-birthday gift. Wrap it in Christmas wrapping paper with a birthday card? Fantastic. Put 'em under the tree too. Let's combine "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Birthday" into "Merry Birthmas" while we're at it.

2. What Child is This?

Oh yeah, my birthday is important, it's the day I was brought into the world. But don't let it take away from the guy who's birthday is a national holiday. Or that other guy in the red suit.

3. Deck The Halls.

Christmas party after Christmas party after holiday bash after New Year's Eve Ball after New Year's party. Your January 1 birthday party? June 30.

4. Pass Around the Coffee and the Pumpkin Pie.

Pumpkin pie for my birthday cake? Why not. Champagne? ...Okay, yeah, that one's fine.

5. Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot?

"I'm so sorry I forgot your birthday in all the holiday madness!"

All sarcasm aside, in the end, all we really want is a little separation between our day of birth and the chaos of the holidays. If you know someone born around this time, tell them "Happy birthday," get them two gifts and always offer to at least have dinner with them to show that you remembered. Because a cake that says "Happy Birthday to you and Jesus!" kinda takes away from your special day.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
