The month of November is a tricky subject, do we casually sit here and wait for Thanksgiving to pass by before pulling out all of the Christmas gear? Does Thanksgiving get offended if we pull out the holiday stops beforehand rather than focus on the turkey and pumpkin pie? Especially now with the Coronavirus, what is it we can do to make our lives a little more festive when every day feels the same?

Personally, November 1st comes and I hit play on the Christmas music. I find it nice to have something like that to look forward to. It brings a joy to me that is not felt throughout the rest of the year. It's never too soon to begin preparing for the holidays, there is a lot that goes into it.

Here are five ways to get into the festive Christmas spirt:

1. Bake Some Cookies!

Grab the flour, sugar, and eggs! Throw on some holiday tunes and let the baker in you come out. Whether it's chocolate chip cookies or fun cut out sugar cookies, it is bound to make you feel all giddy and full of joy.

2. Let's Decorate!

There is nothing wrong with pulling the mistletoe, snowmen statues, and cranberry twigs out a little early. Just a little shift in the vibes around you can buckle you up for the exciting times to come.

3. Visit a Christmas Tree Farm!

Yeah it may be a tad bit early to actually put the tree up, however it doesn't hurt to take a stroll around the farm to find some inspiration.

4. Watch Hallmark Holiday Films!

I can't lie, one of my biggest guilty pleasures is a Christmas movie marathon. Throw them on the TV and snuggle into a soft blanket while sipping on some hot peppermint cocoa.

5. Enjoy Christmas Music Lyrics!

Press play to some holiday tunes, whether you're cleaning while it plays or just laying around. The lyrics are bound to get you in that Santa spirit.

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.

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.
