In This Article:

I know the running joke is your family asking you a bajillion questions, but really there's so much more over the holidays. It truly is a time to be treasured and enjoyed.

1. Home-cooked meals

Okay, some of it might be from a box, but it's the thought that counts!

2. Your family being interesting in what you're doing

At least they care!

3. Actually seeing your family

Man, I'd forgotten what that's like.

4. Generous family members

One year I jokingly started the "Kinsey is broke and unemployed" foundation and my grandma actually gave me money.

5. Good friends

You're always making new friends in college!

6. Breaks

We get 3 in one semester but they feel so far apart.

7. Indoor sports

It's that time of year folks! No more freezing our asses off for football!

8. Sweater weather

Whether you prefer a traditional sweater or a sweatshirt, you feel just a little bit cozier and you totally could've just rolled out of bed and that is much more socially acceptable during holiday season.

9. Love

Familial, friendly, romantic. You have love in your life, I promise.

10. Higher education

College sucks sometimes, but not everyone has the opportunity or ability to go to college. Be thankful.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
