Christmas in college is a whole new experience.

The Best (and Worst) Time of the Year
http://www.planwallpaper.com/static/images/merry-christmas-hd-images.jpg

Christmas is a magical time. It's a time to gather as a family and celebrate the fact that Jesus was born to Mary. Christmas music is playing on the radio, Christmas movies are playing on TV, everyone is buying presents for their loved ones. It's a time to give and receive and to spend time with those we care about the most.

However, as college students, its hard for us to get into the Christmas spirit. We have final papers and projects and assignments to worry about. We also have the dreaded finals week right before Christmas. Something that usually works for me is listening to Christmas music while I do my school work. I also make sure to do fun Christmas-type activities with my friends on weekends leading up to Christmas break.

Christmas is a great time of year, but also a challenging time of year. The only thing we can do as college students is to make the best of it. This year I have the privilege of having a week before Christmas to really get into the Christmas spirit. I have always enjoyed Christmas, but since coming to college, the experience has been different. This year will especially different because we will be spending Christmas morning at our new house. 2016 has been filled with many changes and transition, but I'm glad I get to finish it in a house I love with people I love celebrating a holiday I love. So just remember the real meaning of the season and don't forget what it's all about.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
