Everyone knows that the day after Halloween officially marks Christember. If you're one of the people who hates seeing anything that has to do with Christmas before Thanksgiving is even here, I feel bad for you. How can someone not be so happy and festive with all the joy around them? Hopefully this list will make you see why this is literally the most wonderful time of the year.

1. Christmas Music

Is Christmas really Christmas without listening to the Mariah Carey Christmas album?

2. Ugly Christmas sweaters

I think I'm excited about this more than anything else.

3.Christmas Movies

You have to watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", "Elf", and "Home Alone" at least 20 times.

4. Limited edition Christmas candles

What's better than having your house smell like ginger bread from a Yankee candle?

5. You get to decorate

The sooner you decorate, the longer you get to stare at your work of art.

6. Christmas parties

7. Starbucks Holiday cups

Something about their holiday cups makes me so happy.

8. You can't fit all the festivities into one day, so you have to spread them out

Two months is still not enough time to be able to complete my Christmas festivities list.

9. Retail stores are already putting up Christmas decorations

Nothing makes me happier than when I walk into work and see the Christmas trees up.

10. You can literally eat as many cookies as you want and not feel bad about it

If Santa can, why can't I?

11. You don't have to feel bad for skipping over Thanksgiving because you can have the same dinner on Christmas

@ All my friends complaining about me skipping over Thanksgiving.

12. Gives you a reason to go shopping

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.

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.
