Listening to Christmas music doesn't mean skipping Thanksgiving

The endless fall feud between Thanksgiving and Christmas rages on each year, almost instantly after Halloween. Both holidays are meant to be celebrated in big ways. However, I believe it's never too early to start listening to Christmas music. This doesn't mean I'm completely skipping over Thanksgiving either. But come on, have you ever actually made an entire playlist of Thanksgiving music?

Christmas music is meant to make you sing along as loud as you can, and force you to smile the entire time while doing it. In my opinion, as long as it makes you happy, I think you should sing Christmas music in April. After all, if it makes you happy, why not sing it for as long as you can?

Some of my favorites from recent years include Justin Bieber, Michael Buble and Pentatonix. Although you can never forget about Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby," Wham's "Last Christmas," or Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas."

Why not get ready for Christmas early? Getting into the Christmas spirit makes everyone happy and gives you the perfect reason to decorate your house as much as you possibly can. How could you not be happy singing along to your favorite Christmas songs while looking at hundreds of lights?

Skipping over Thanksgiving is still out of the question. Shoving as much food into your face as possible then pretty much staying up all night to shop for Black Friday should never be something to skip over!

Overall, celebrating both holidays for the next two months sounds pretty good to me. Both holidays give you time to spend with your family and bring endless joy to everyone in many ways. So go ahead, eat your turkey and sing Jingle Bells as loud as you can. Spread the Christmas spirit and make everyone around you just as happy as you are!

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
