15 Reasons To Love The Christmas Season
Mallory Davis

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! December is my all time favorite month, end of statement. Here are just a few things that make the month of Christmas so special.

1. We get to celebrate Jesus’ birth

Make sure to always remember the reason for the season!

2. Candy Canes

It is the only time of the year that Candy canes are acceptable. Honestly, we should riot that candy canes be allowed all year long.

3. The 25 days of Christmas on FreeForm

They can change the name of the channel as long as they don't take my count down to Christmas away.

4. Outdoor Christmas lights

The joy of driving around and looking at Christmas lights is incomparable.

5. Christmas Caroling

"The best way to spread Christmas is singing loudly for all to hear." -Elf-

6. Christmas spirit fills the air

Folks tend to be more caring during the Christmas season. I guess they are trying to get back on the nice list.

7. Antioch’s Bethlehem revisited

This is a must for anyone in the Conway area. Antioch recreates the city of Bethlehem and allows you to take a step into the night our savior was born in.

8. Hallmark.

End of statement Hallmark is the truly the heart of TV. Every night in December I watch at least 2 sappy movies, that get me all in my feels.

9. Christmas music!

Here. There. Everywhere! I love that I am able to listen to non-stop holiday music for a whole month!

10. Nothing can top a good ole cup of Hot Cocoa with marshmallows

11. Santa Clause

Need I say more, no matter how old you get, you never get too old for Santa!

12.PRESENTS

Cheesy I know but I do enjoy buying everyone gifts and even receiving a few too!

13. The Nutcracker ballet.

This is one of my all times favorites! As a kid I dreamed of being Clara and having my nutcracker turn into a prince. It hasn't happen yet but i refuse to give up.

14. Family traditions.

I am a sucker for old timey traditions, they are what makes each of our families unique.

15. The jingling Salvation Army

It makes my heart so happy to hear those bells as I wonder down the shopping center.

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:

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.
