I just want Christmas music to be socially acceptable before Thanksgiving already if I'm being honest.

With everything that feels just wrong lately, I would like to feel the same kind of happiness that is usually associated with the holiday season. I'm ready for terrible Hallmark holiday movies and the "Countdown to Christmas" on Freeform.

I'm ready for hot chocolate and colder weather. I'm ready to be bundled in blankets. And listen. to. Christmas. music.

I want to bake gingerbread cookies and wrap presents!

Christmas time is when I feel like people are genuinely in a better mood and less terrible overall, and God only knows that is something we could all use right now.

Christmas makes me feel warm and brings out my inner grandma - I want to make cookies and goodies for everyone and make sure everyone has eaten. I understand that not everyone celebrates Christmas, but there's no denying the feeling that comes when you're surrounded by people that care about you and are genuinely enjoying your company.

Christmas, for me, begins as soon as Halloween ends and there's a good chance I'm probably listening to Christmas music if it's a 'ber month. Besides, Pentatonix just dropped a new album and John Legend dropped a Christmas album too.

I need a little Christmas! Right this very minute! I would like for Christmas lights to be acceptable before Thanksgiving so I could enjoy a ride with cool air while looking at Christmas lights. The idea is extremely calming to me considering everything seems so just "blah" to me at the moment.

I feel like Christmas is just what I need to get a little extra oomph in my step again. Christmas Queen Eileen is ready to reign once again.

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.
