It's that time of the year again; Halloween has passed and now we're onto to the next holiday: Thanksgiving. Yes, Thanksgiving - NOT Christmas. Look, I enjoy Christmas. I love spending time with my family, giving gifts, eating food, eating more food, sleeping, drinking, eating some more, but there is a such a thing as celebrating Christmas too early and it drives me bananas. Poor Thanksgiving always gets left out.

If you're a grinch such as myself who prefers to wait until after Thanksgiving, then these 10 things will definitely annoy you about Christmas being celebrated at the beginning of November:

1. All of the holiday/Christmas decorations on display everywhere you go

Stores need to calm down with putting up the santas and reindeer in October.

2. Christmas music in November

Play Christmas music in my car before Thanksgiving and I'll throw you out of my car. Just kidding - not really.

3. Being asked "Have you started shopping for presents?"

No, I haven't started shopping for presents. I actually dread shopping for gifts because when I ask someone what they want, the response is usually "I don't know" 95 percent of the time.

4. Seeing all of the Facebook posts of people boasting "Now that Halloween is over, I can put up my tree!"

Whoop-de-doo, you put up your tree and decorations. What do you want, a medal?

5. Christmas shopping in general


I love shopping, but dread Christmas shopping. The crowds are too much. I used to love going shopping on Black Friday, but now I prefer to stay inside and order gifts off of Amazon or make them myself. I like sleep more than I like people.

6. The anxiety that comes with shopping for gifts

I'm one of those people who waits until the last minute to go shopping for presents. Stressing over what my loved ones want, budgeting for gifts and crowds in stores send my anxiety through the roof.

7. People who are just way too excited for Christmas in November

No, just no.

8. People who insist "Christmas is the best holiday"

I disagree. Halloween is the best holiday since there's no pressure to give gifts, dress fancy or travel all over the place. Christmas is kind of stressful in my opinion.

9. Seeing houses with their Christmas lights and displays out the day after Halloween

I mean, can't you wait another month?

10. Completely disregarding Thanksgiving

ONE HOLIDAY AT A TIME.

Happy Thanksgiving! Now enjoy your feast before you go crazy with snapping pictures of your tree and all things holly-jolly or whatever.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
