You can hear the bells, children laughing, the bustle of shoppers and smell snow and sugar in the air. If you're anything like me, you listen to Christmas music in July and begin making your Christmas lists in August and shopping in October. Why would anyone be this obsessed with Christmas? I may annoy others with my obsession of all things Christmas, but those things bring joy to my heart and hopefully to others when the season rolls around.

Christmas is about giving and showing your love to others. Being obsessed with Christmas doesn't mean that you are insane, but it simply means that you have a kind and caring heart that can't wait to give to others. There's a special joy about Christmas that is unique to any time of year that makes people want to give more than usual. People are more generous during Christmas time and often devote their time to improving the lives of others by volunteering at soup kitchens and donating money towards the less unfortunate.

Also, people who are obsessed with Christmas are smarter because they plan ahead for their future plans of gifting and activities. That way, there is no stress during the holiday season to get everything in order.

Listening Christmas music is good to do as well because it can make one excited for the Christmas season and make others happy (Use with caution...). At this moment, I am listening to Happy Christmas by John Lennon.

You can be sure that I'll be checking my list twice and listening to Christmas music for all to hear! If you feel the same way about Christmas, don't feel strange! Share the joy!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
