Why It's Okay To Be Obsessed With Christmas

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!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
