In This Article:

Christmas time is already one of the busiest times of the year. You have so many dinner plans, gifts to buy and wrap, traveling, and top of all that you the DECEMBER BABIES. I am one of them,(sorry mom and dad), and I am proud of it. Yet, I know there are a lot of things that I miss out on

1. COLD, WARM, ICE.

December is a weird month to have a birthday in especially, with the weather. Forecast of the week can be a mix of warm, snow, ice, or straight up freezing. So, it makes it impossible to have an outside party for your birthday.

2. Why not both?

I have never had to deal with this, but I know some who have. When your parents make the ultimate decision to combined both your birthday and Christmas. I see how it is easier for the parents to keep everything under control, I get I get. HOWEVER, from the people whom I know that have their birthday with Christmas say it ruins the special moments of having a birthday.

3. Frustrating for family.

Okay, so I have to buy gram and pops their presents, my cousin's presents, and my other side of the family presents...who am I missing...CRAP. A December birthday is just another layer of frustration that is added on to this crazy Holiday. (Well, at least from my boyfriend's point of view 🤣)

4. Scheduling parties.

I know I spend a great deal of time having to remember which house I have to go to or which party I have to attend to. I have to be at Gram and Pop's at 9 am for my birthday party, another one at 2 pm, and a final one at 5 pm. All at different places. Yayyyyy...

There are definitely good things about December birthdays. You get a snowy birthday...sometimes. Overall, it's a good time and I love having my birthday during this time of year. You have a very festive birthday and Christmas is a very big plus. I'm still hoping for a white birthday this year. 🤞

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
