What Do You Love About Christmas?

For some it is family, food, presents, or where they spend it.

Now that Christmas is here, you might wonder what people love about it. For some, it might be hanging out with their family, eating the food, giving or receiving presents, or where they spend it. But, for me, Christmas is about thanking the people I have in my life and all the amazing things that we get to do together.

Family

The holidays are typically spent with your family or friends and it's them who make it the best. Spending time with the people you love makes everything fun. To always have a good time, always spend the holidays with those that you care about the most!

Food

Families from everywhere have many different types of foods during the holidays. The traditional Mexican meals at my house are tamales, pozole, ponche, or mole. Whatever traditional holiday meals that you eat, enjoy it! Your friends and family make it with lots of love and you should be thankful for it, especially those amazing desserts! Eat lots of food and be happy!

Movies

I love that during the holidays there's always special movies specifically for each holiday. Some Christmas classic movies are Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Love Actually, Elf, Home Alone, A Charlie Brown Christmas, The Family Stone, and many more! These are all great movies to watch while you cuddle up with a soft blanket and some hot chocolate!

Music

I know many people that love to sing Christmas music. Some love to start right after Thanksgiving ends and then there are people that could sing Christmas music all year long! Whatever time of the year you love to sing Christmas music, it can be very catchy! Just take some time to listen to some of the songs: I'll be Home for Christmas, Santa Baby, A Holly Jolly Christmas, and more.

Snow

Snow looks very pretty, especially for people who have never been in snow before! One of my roommates is from California, so she had never been in snow before. Once it snowed, she thought it was beautiful, but it was just too cold. It's amazing to wake up and see how great the snow looks when it's falling just remember to layer up before you go out!

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
