In This Article:

Christmas is a time of celebration and coming together with the people you love. Now that the day is behind us, it is time to think about what is next and to reflect on the previous days. Here are 5 thoughts you may have in the days following Christmas:

"I wonder when I will see them next"

Giphy

Christmas is a time to see people you don't see very often. Outside of the holidays, you may not see these people for months or even a year. It all depends on the family and the individual.

"Time to lose that weight"

Giphy

People always joke that they need to go to the gym after Christmas from eating all of that food. All the delicious food at Christmas might have put on a few pounds.

"There's only 52 weeks until next Christmas"

Giphy

The countdown has begun. We only have a year until next Christmas. Is it too late to start planning now?

"Time to go back to work"

Giphy

Most people have off Christmas (in reality everyone should but that is another story) and have to return to work the next day. Now that the holiday is over, it is time to resume your day-to-day activities. On the bright side, New Year's is only one week again.

"Time to return those unwanted gifts"

Giphy

Christmas brings presents, good and bad. Some people like to return gifts they know they will not use. After Christmas shopping is almost as busy as before Christmas.

Christmas is over but the fun does not have to end. Prepare for the new year and think ahead to 2020.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
