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!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
