Yes, It's November, And Yes, I Am Ready For Christmas

As I write this, it is November 7th, 2019, and one week ago, it was Halloween. But when the clock struck midnight on November 1st, I felt the Christmas spirit rush through my veins!

It felt so good. It's that time of year again.

Don't get me wrong, I love Thanksgiving. It's delicious and I am especially thankful for everything on Thanksgiving. But that is a one-day holiday where we dress all fancy just to walk around the house, then sit down for a large meal that will straight up put you in a food coma easily. In as little as 30 minutes, dinner is over.

Christmas, however, is not just a holiday on December 25th, no no no. Christmas is so much more.

Christmas is walking through the mall and watching people go crazy for the hottest toy of the year. Christmas is going to Starbucks and drinking their holiday drinks way too much. Christmas is putting up the tree with your family while there are cookies in the oven.

Christmas is however and whenever YOU celebrate it.

You know what? That is okay!

Christmas takes some time to prep for, so while there are people who want to rush all their Christmas festivities, just know you've been able to enjoy your Christmas season because you've been celebrating since November.

Honestly, that is just so smart of you.

But if you are so anti-Christmas until December 1st, then fine. But for those of us who are ready to take part in all things Christmas, go for it.

Blast your Christmas playlist. Watch your favorite Christmas movies. Decorate your house. Whatever you want to do, just do it, and do not let those negative Nancys put a damper on your holiday spirit.

So, from me to you, let's get our Christmas on!

Letter To My High School Friend Group

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
