10 Realities For People Who Put Christmas Lights Up On November 1st

Its officially November, which means the holiday season is underway. Yes, I know halloween literally just happened, but when one set of decorations come down the other set go up. Meaning as soon as the pumpkins and spooky stuff is put away, the good ol holly jolly stuff if out to play. I know I know everyone who puts Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving is insane. That might a little true, but it doesn't mean that I will stop.

The second Halloween is over, it is game timeĀ

Once that last trick or treater comes to the door, it is officially the holiday season

The halloween decorations come down and the lights go up right awayĀ

There is no down time. The lights are already up before most people even realize that you took down the halloween decorations.

People start complaining that every year Christmas lights go up sooner and sooner.....but you know that you've always been this wayĀ

Why are Christmas lights such a bad thing, they make everyone happy. So I say let's bring them in summer, Christmas in July am I right?

People act like you don't know that Thanksgiving comes firstĀ

Obviously you know that Thanksgiving is first, it's a holiday that reveals about food. But you can't decorate for Thanksgiving the same way that you can decorate for Christmas.

Even though you have a ton of decorations, you still buy more and moreĀ

Since the stores are on the same decorating schedule as you, how can you not buy decorations to add when they're there for almost TWO months?

If you have a fake tree then it is already up with all the lightsĀ

The fake trees stay up with the lights for months because well, duh it won't die.

You have to fight the urge to buy a real tree the first week of November.Ā

You can't buy the live tree until a few weeks before Christmas so your decorations aren't complete.

Even the snacks you buy are holiday themed

I actually bought chocolate Santas today

Yes, it is still 90 degrees outside but that doesn't make it any less of the holiday seasonĀ

Yes I am wearing sweaters and yes I know that it is still 90 degrees outside. But I am fully embracing the holiday season.

Its never too early to be Jolly

Christmas lights make everything better, so try it this year. You might feel that holiday joy just a little longer.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you donā€™t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldnā€™t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing ā€” finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
