8 Ways To Get In The Christmas Spirit
Jiahui Huang

Now that Halloween - well, Halloweekend - is over, it's time to get in the Christmas spirit. (Yeah, I'm that person. Sorry.)

If you don't love the wintertime and all of its connotations, this article probably isn't for you. But if you look forward to this season each year like I do, then check out the best ways to get yourself hype for the most wonderful time of year.

1. Build the ultimate Spotify playlist

Essential songs include "All I Want for Christmas is You" and the entirety of Michael Bublé's Christmas album. You have to put this playlist on loop whenever you're hanging around your room. This way, the Christmas spirit becomes a part of your being.

2. Bake some Pillsbury Christmas cookies

You know, the ones with decorated trees on them. Those are the best.

3. Go see some sort of lights show

Nothing says "holiday spirit" like lights blinking to some bumping tunes.

4. Get yourself some cozy socks

Mine have red and white stripes, so I'm basically wearing candy canes 24/7. You probably have a nice pair of cozy socks, too. Be sure to keep them on at all times.

5. Cut out paper snowflakes and hang them around your room

Boom. Perpetual snowstorm. Just the way I like it.

6. Watch The Polar Express as often as humanly possible

This might just be me. Maybe you like Elf better. Watch Elf.

7. Candles

Yeah. (If your dorm doesn't allow candles, get tea lights.)

8. And start counting down the days until winter break

So, maybe it's a little early to be doing this. Oh well. I don't care. I'm ready for Christmas.

Let's get in the spirit! I hope y'all love this time of year as much as I do. After all, snowstorms make everything magical.

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.

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.
