Why It Is Okay To Celebrate A Holiday Before A Given Time

While some believe that Holidays must be celebrated only in a given period, I say differently.

I know the majority of people dislike stores and people celebrating holidays before a given time but I disagree. I know many think you can't celebrate Christmas until after Halloween but really who cares? It currently is October 30th and here I am watching VH1 which is showing the movie Elf. Is it a Christmas movie? Sure, but it is also just a good feel-good film to watch at any time.

At the same time, Christmas music can be listened to year-round. Take the Barenaked Ladies version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, it is upbeat and while you are listening to it you forget it is actually a Christmas song. Same with any Pentatonix cover of a Christmas song! What they do with the rhythms and melodies make you forget it is a Christmas song.

The same goes for any other holiday. If you want to celebrate Halloween by dressing up for all of October go ahead, if you want to celebrate your relationship why does that have to only be on a single day. You can celebrate any holiday at any time if you would like. Who is to tell you any different?

Holidays come with many good memories associtated with them so who is to deny you the happiness you get from celebrating. Sure the majority of people may not understand but if it makes you feel good and helps your own type of self-care or just a simple release then go ahead and celebrate!

You can go trick-or-treat in the heat or celebrate Christmas in July, we even celebrate our half-birthdays. Any holiday can be celebrated whenever as long as you want to celebrate it. Holdiays are here for a reason, which is to bring happiness and people together to celebrate something.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
