Holiday Cheer Is Almost Here

The best time of the year

Holiday Cheer Is Almost Here
Wall Paper Safari

Well, now Thanksgiving break is here and all of us students are beyond thrilled to eat our favorite dishes that Mom cooks. Not even that, but now we can finally sleep for more than 5 hours a night and don't have to spend half the night studying our lives away. We get to spend time with our families and our best friends from our hometown for the first time since August. All of us know this break is going to go by too quickly and before we know it we're gonna be back to pulling those all nighters and living on caffeine.

Although this is all true, after Thanksgiving break we only have about 3 weeks until the best time of the year arrives. CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is not only the best holiday of the year, but definitely just the best time of the year as well. The first day of December is the start of happy spirits and good vibes for sure. About a week later many of us students will be stressing over final exams and what not, but still the whole month of December is happiness for everyone.

So, everyone has just got to try and hang in there. This is a stressful time for all of us because even though we have a break from school, we are constantly thinking about the school work we should be doing and we just can't help it.

The holiday season is finally here and all we want to do is eat Christmas cookies, open presents, and hangout by the fire place. Pretty soon we will all be able to do this, we just have to get through the rest of the semester which all we can.

All of our college friends are in the same boat, so we can celebrate the holiday cheer with them as well. While studying for finals everyone should take some time to enjoy December and the holiday cheer. Make holiday cookies with your roommates. Do a secret santa with your girlfriends. We can all find some fun in the midst of the very awful end of semester work.

It's just a reminder to enjoy the breaks and times with friends and family at home. We will all get through finals and will still enjoy the holidays.

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.

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.

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.
