7 Things I Love About The Holiday Season

In my opinion, November and December are the absolute best months of the year. At this point in the semester, I am ready for a break. I am swamped by exams and papers and all I want to do is to curl up in a ball and eat food. The one thing that keeps me going is knowing that it’s my favorite season, and that I get to look forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas break.

1. Delicious food.

The months of November and December are filled with reasons for celebrating. With celebration comes delicious food. I for one am excited for Thanksgiving and Mom’s Christmas cookies!

2. Perfect weather.

Okay, maybe I get sick of the snow and the cold come January, but who doesn’t love chilly weather during the holiday season? It’s the perfect excuse to make a cup of hot chocolate! It brings back great memories of going sledding as a little kid.

3. Family!

I know so many people who complain about having to see relatives during this time of the year, but for a college student it’s the best. I never get to see my family so I cannot wait to get to see everyone (and not talk about the election).

4. Decorations.

I absolutely love coming home to the house all decorated for Christmas. It’s cozy and it makes me feel like a little kid again.

5. Shopping!

Sure the stores stock up with seasonal items too early, but I love department stores that smell like Christmas! Also, Black Friday Shopping.

6. Clothes.

Fall and winter clothes are the absolute best because you can layer comfy layers of sweaters and look like you tried.

7. Traditions.

My favorite part about the holiday season is getting to experience my favorite traditions. Thanksgiving Day means waking up early to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with my family, and at noon listening to Alice’s Restaurant on the radio. These are the things that I will never forget.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
