Yes, It's Time For Christmas
Annika Soderfelt

" Why are you listening to Christmas carols? It's not even Thanksgiving yet. Give turkey day is chance!"

Here's my life philosophy, it's never too early to start celebrating for Christmas. Growing up I used to have traditions of my family that folder on Thanksgiving break, but, as I've gotten. Thanksgiving no longer holds the traditional significance that are used to. Because of this, it flies under the radar when it comes to celebrating holidays. I'm a firm believer in Christmas carols starting November 1 night because I've forgotten about November and Thanksgiving, but because there aren't any Thanksgiving carols and by the time Halloween is over, I am ready to start getting festive for something, the weather has turned cold, and i'm ready to be in a holly jolly mood. Not only is it the season of joy, but it's like Thanksgiving to. A special emphasis on giving and being thankful for what you had throughout the year, but this time, there are carols, hallmark (and Netflix) romantic movies, hot cocoa, presents to and from loved ones, and so much much.

There are so many variations of this December holiday, but in one way or another, it seems like the whole world is celebrating in their own special way. It's a day during we forget our troubles of the year and just focus on what it means to be alive. Sure, if they have become commercialized over the years, but it's true roots remain. It's a time for love, family, and Santa Claus! So no, I will not stop singing Christmas carols before Thanksgiving because there's just too much excitement for this holiday to wait until late November. :)

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
