If you know anything about me, you know I am obsessed with Christmas and the holiday season. Being done with the fall semester of school, spending time with family, and not to mention all of the great food to eat, who wouldn't love this time of year? If you love Christmas as much as me, here are some things you'll totally understand.

1. It's never too early for Christmas music.

Trust me. I started listening to Christmas music in October this year. Sure, people gave me weird and judgy looks. But did I care? Nope, because I was just a lot more jolly than them! You're not a true "Christmas lover" until you program the Christmas-music station into your car for the season.

2. Christmas shopping requires a spreadsheet and major planning.

You have to get the perfect gift for everyone on your list. This requires major planning in advance and getting the best deals before they're all gone. Sometimes, all of your Christmas shopping is even done before Black Friday.

3. Baking. Always baking.

I am not sure what it is about this time of year, but baked goods just always sound good. Christmas cookies are always the way to go. And you typically go all out when making them.

4. Each night is a different Christmas movie.

25 days of Christmas? Yeah, you'll watch them all. Each night you can watch a different Christmas movie and guess what? You totally will.

5. Your house looks like a winter wonderland.

Okay, so your house kind of looks like Santa threw up in it, but you're not ashamed. Your roommates ask to help you decorate but you offer to do it alone because you just find it that fun.

6. You always leave the store with a new Christmas decoration.

Going to Target during this season is always dangerous. You'll always end up leaving with a new Christmas pillow, ornament or winter-scented candle. There goes all of your money for buying Christmas presents! But seriously, did you need another Santa figurine?

7. That perfect Christmas outfit.

You definitely have to wow your family on Christmas day with that perfect Christmas outfit. Maybe you want to dress like Santa this year, or perhaps an elf?

8. You have to do all of the activities.

Ice skating, seeing the lights display, visiting Santa - you have to do it all. Most of the time, the Christmas activities are geared towards younger kids, but you won't let that stop you from telling Santa what you want for Christmas.

9. Opening Christmas presents is the best.

Okay, no one likes to admit that they actually love receiving presents, but c'mon. Who doesn't love getting Christmas presents? Spending time with family giving and receiving presents on Christmas morning has got to be the best.

There is no shame in admitting you're a geek for Christmas. It only comes around once a year, and it's so much better looking forward to Christmas than being a grumpy ol' Scrooge. Happy holidays!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
