December Is The Best Month

December is absolutely crazy, but it's the best month of the year

December Is The Best Month

December is literally the craziest month of the year. Everyone is busy, whether it's finishing out the semester or doing last minute Christmas shopping or planning for the next year's shenanigans. Even though December is actually so crazy, you have to admit that it is the best time of year and everyone loves it!

December is so fantastic. My personal favorite part of December has got to be Christmas. Everything is just happy and beautiful at Christmas time. People learn to love each other. People learn that it's better to give than to receive. People learn that life is about your family and the people you love, not about the dumb and unimportant things. I also love traveling and though I don't usually travel during the Christmas season, plenty of people do. December and the Christmas season is a fantastic time to trvel because you get to see how other areas of the country or world celebrate the holidays. Plus, who can resist spending an entire day celebrating the birth of our wonderful savior, Jesus Christ.

One not-so-fun part of December is finals. Finals are horrible and disgusting but it's fine. Why is it fine? Because after finals comes BREAK. For us students, Christmas/Winter break is at least two weeks filled with holidays, friends, family, shopping and of course food. I love to go shopping with my friends after Christmas while we are on break. I also love spending time with my family during Christmas. More wonderful things that happen during Christmas break are Christmas movies, hot chocolate, candy canes, tree trimming, Netflix, ice skating and maybe even snow!

December is such a fun time to be with friends and family. It is a time to celebrate each other. December is the very end of the year so it's almost like a final chance to come together and end the year on a good note by coming together and become closers than ever before. Whether you are just getting to know someone, becoming best friends with a good friend or starting to love someone even more that you ever thought possible.

December is about becoming less selfish and becoming more selfless. December is a time for joy, laughter, giving and family. Make this December the best December you have had yet! Reconnect with old loved ones. Make new friends. Participate in a white elephant gift exchange. Celebrate your favorite December holiday. Be happy! End your year with a bang and try something different. Have a fantastic December! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
