All I Want For Christmas Is...

Be thankful this holiday season

Yes, this is a cheesy title, but it is also the season where everyone is a little bit extra cheesy and nice.

This holiday season, I will not be spending it with my family. I have to work both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but I am not too upset about it. I work in a hospital and care for multiple patients. All I can think about it how unfair it is for someone to spend the holiday season in the hospital. All I want to do is spend time and bring them Christmas cheer because what they’re going through honestly sucks.

Of course I want to spend time with my family on Christmas, but I am sure the people in the hospital do too. I will be able to see my family on Christmas night and spend Christmas eve with my roommate, but it isn’t the same. It will, however, all be worth it in the end. When you think about your holiday celebration, think about how grateful you are to be surrounded by your friends and family. Think about how you get to open up presents in the morning and see what your family members have been up to lately. Think about how there are other people out there that probably cannot experience the Christmas joy like you can.

There are thousands of people in this world that struggle every day that even Christmas is just another day for them. All I ask for this Christmas season is for you to be thankful and enjoy what you have because most people cannot experience that love and joy. All they want for Christmas is family, friends, food, home, and warm clothes.

All I want for Christmas is joy, happiness, and love. It is a season to be considerate and not selfish. Do not take what you have now for granted because you never know when that moment will end forever. Also, there are others out there who would love to have your spot this holiday season.

Merry Christmas everyone and don’t forget to be thankful!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
