IT IS FINALLY THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!

YEP, YOU GUESSED IT, IT IS CHRISTMAS TIME!!!

If you know me, you know how much I love Christmas. I love Christmas so much because it is a time of love, joy and laughter. It is a time of ugly Christmas sweaters and peppermint mocha lattes. It is a time to be grateful for all the things you have. It is a time of giving gifts. It is simply the best time of the year.

I have never had a bad Christmas in my entire life. I think that is why I love Christmas so much. Everyone is just in the Christmas spirit and it seems like everything is just going perfectly.

Something that makes me more enraged than anything though is when someone tells me in their little snooty voice, "It is too early for Christmas." Who are they to tell me when I can and can not celebrate my favorite holiday? And when is the right time to celebrate Christmas? Christmas day? I have already seen Christmas commercials and the Starbucks Christmas drinks are out and it is only November 3rd.

The way I see it is I am not celebrating the holiday every single day of my life. I am simply getting into the Christmas state of mind. Listening to Christmas music, drinking hot cocoa out of my collection of over 20 Christmas mugs, decorating my room with garland, my Christmas tree, lights, ornaments and snowflake are a few Christmas activities that get me in the mood. These activities get me in the mood, but do not by any means mean that I am actually celebrating the holiday in itself. Some people may think that these activities are a part of the holiday, but I am simply prepping myself for the holiday. It makes no sense for a person to tell me that I am not allowed to get ready for Christmas.

So next time you try to tell someone that it is too early for Christmas re-think your statement as they are simply getting ready for the most wonderful time of the year.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
