The True Meaning Of Christmas

What makes Christmas lit to me.

Every year we hear about “the true meaning of christmas.” I personally believe that a lot of things make up the meaning of Christmas. Heres a few of my favorites:

1. When your siblings eat the best Christmas cookies and you’re stuck with the crusty ones that your Mom ends up throwing out.

2. Finding half of your gifts before Christmas day.

3. When your mom shoots you death glares across the dinner table when she realizes you pregamed dinner.

4. Realizing how big of a loser you are when your family asks about your love life and your school life all in the same conversation.

5. Children basically RKO-ing each other to get their presents out from under the tree first like it’s The Hunger Games.

6. Someone throwing up eggnog.

7. Someone throwing up because they saw someone else throw up eggnog.

8. Meeting your third cousin twice removed and getting asked how the eighth grade is going when you're in college.

9. That one person who's afraid of the family dog.

10. When you ask your brother for a sweater for Christmas and he buys you a hermit crab (true story).

11. Putting on makeup so family thinks your life is as on point as your contour.

12. Your mom taking photos of you Christmas morning when you look like a cracked out Santa then posting them on Facebook.

13. Arguing on which Christmas movie to watch with the family (animated Grinch or nah?)

14. Your mom vacuuming the house, driveway and the Christmas tree so that guests think that no-one lives there.

(PSA: this is totally a joke, don't be a Grinch)

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.

"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.
