Christmas Emotion Rollercoaster

You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. Christmas is upon us. But don't worry we've had about two months to prepare. Considering most shops started blaring "Sleigh Bells" on November 1st. So here's to the holiday season and here are 11 rollercoaster emotions I've become fond of during this jolly time.


1. Excitement when you first hear Michael Buble Christmas.


Like let's all admit that his voice is the voice of a beautiful, satiny, handsome man who you wish you could marry, but you can't. Every time I hear "Santa Baby" I can't help but imagine I'm Santa and he's singing to me with a really nice smile.


2. Overwhelming thoughts about the ultimate gift-giving.


Maybe it's just me, but I want to give gifts that are meaningful and nice and expensive and nice and lovely...and nice. And I want people to do the same for me. But, then I remember how many people I want to give gifts to, and it's just a lot.


3. Annoyed with every customer that ever existed.

I understand you're just asking me to check you out and let you on your merry way, but for some reason that's just not cutting it today, Martha. Why did you have to buy fifteen pairs of leggings? That's just so many.


4. Sore thumbs from hardcore wrapping.

This is so self-explanatory. I'm too much of a perfectionist-wrapper to wrap this many presents, and yet I freaking love it 'cause I know I'm a queen at it.


5. Feeling ecstatic about going home to see the fam.

No one understands like the fam.


6. Super comforted by having no obligations while at home.

All I have to do is get in my old childhood bed, curl up next to my cat and watch endless amounts of Christmas movies and eat tons of mom's brownies.


7. The regret of spending way too much money

I'm broke as is, and I just spent my whole life savings (equivalent to maybe one car payment) on this holiday. I don't even know how to feel about it.


8. The joy of seeing those people open those presents and then regretting none of it.


Add up the bomb-a** gift wrapping and the huge thought processes behind the gifts and you get some of the best reactions a human could ever ask for.


9. Stress from trying to keep tabs on who is who at the family Christmas Party

Anyone with a huge family knows this struggle all too well.

10. Recovering from the 10 weeks of overeating. (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years included)

I feel like I gain at least 10 lbs every holiday season. There is not one single calorie I regret, though.

11. Preparation for next year.

This includes a weekly playing of Mariah Carey's top hit--even in the middle of June.


Buckle your belts, slide on your red suits, and saddle up. It's gonna be one wicked Christmas, y'all.

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.
