Even though most of us are still digesting our Thanksgiving dinners, I'm fully ready for the festive Christmas season to be in full swing. Here are some of the things I'm most excited for, and deep down, I know you're just as excited.

1. Bright Christmas lights.

The only good thing about the sun setting at 5:00 is being able to see bright Christmas lights earlier!

2. The anticipation and excitement before opening a present.

It's just sitting there under the tree, taunting us.

3. The satisfaction of ripping open wrapping paper.

Ripping it is sometimes better than the present itself.

4. The satisfaction of perfectly wrapping a present with a bow on top.  

Giphy

Martha Stewart can fight me.

5. Christmas Music. 

Giphy

Christmas music never fails to put me in a festive mood.

6. Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" on repeat. 

Simply iconic.

7. The excitement of buying gifts for other people and awaiting their reaction. 

Giphy

One of my favorite things ever.

8. Ugly Christmas Sweaters. 

Giphy

An excuse to be even more extra festive.

9. Revisiting your favorite Christmas movies.

A big blanket, warm cup of hot chocolate in hand, the tree is lit in the corner, and you have a large stack of Christmas movies to go through. What could be better?

10. And watching really cheesy ones too. 

Impatiently waiting for The Christmas Prince: A Royal Wedding. Meghan Markle, move over.

11. Peppermint Hot Chocolate.

Giphy

And white hot chocolate, caramel hot chocolate, hazelnut hot chocolate, creme brulee hot chocolate, the options are endlessly wonderful.

12. Actually, the whole Starbucks Holiday Menu.

Giphy

When the red cups come out, it's officially Christmas time.

13. Baking.

Giphy

What's better than the smell of freshly baked cookies?

14. Spending time with family and friends. 

Giphy

Christmas is a great time to be thankful for all you have.

15. Watching A Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.

Giphy

When the whole community gets together for some hot chocolate and pretty Christmas trees.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
