Once Halloween comes and goes people are excited for Christmas to be here. They're all things Christmas. Even though, Thanksgiving hasn't passed they're all about Christmas. But now that Thanksgiving is over we can officially be excited for Christmas. From the music to the tree decorating and gift giving people are excited for Christmas for many many reasons!

Heres a list on what were excited during Christmas season;

1.) Decorating the Christmas tree

Growing up as kids we loved to decorate the tree because we loved seeing the tree and were excited about the presents but now that were growing up we decorate it because it can be fun and a stress relief.

2.) Seeing the Christmas lights

As kids we loved getting in the car and driving around town looking at the Christmas lights from home to home and just singing Christmas carols and making memories.

3.) Making Cookies

As college kids we look forward to eating in general. But eating the cookies once they're warm and fresh out of the oven is always a wonderful memory growing up. But now were more likely to eat the cookie dough over the actual cookie. Nothing wrong with that.

4.) Gift Giving

We as college kids sometimes don't know what we want for Christmas but do we ever really know? But when it comes to giving gifts to friends and family we already know exactly what were getting for them.

5.) White elephant gift exchange

We all love doing the white elephant gift exchange because its fun, easy and exciting. But getting to draw someones name and spend a limited amount of money just for fun, makes the gifts super memorable for everyone.

6.) Christmas Movies

We all love those super cheesy, classic Christmas movies we know all the words too. From the Christmas story to How the Grinch stole Christmas and we can't forget about Elf, and how we love all theses movies and even rewatch them during non winter seasons.

7.) Family bonding

Sometimes holidays bring families closer but they also can tear us apart. But we have to remember that the holidays are supposed to happy times. We love to cherish those special times together.

8.) Holiday food

Of course we can't forget about all the holiday food. As college kids we long for theses holidays for several home cooked meals and all the leftovers we can eat. Some look forward to the turkey, or the ham. While some of us are more excited about all the desserts such as pie or even homemade cookies.

No matter, how old we are we will always find something to cherish and enjoy making the memories around the holiday season.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
