It Is Never Too Early To Start Celebrating Christmas

People may judge, but embrace your Christmas spirit.

It seems that every year, there is an on-going debate as to when it is appropriate to deck the halls with boughs of holly. Are you a beginning of November type of person? The day after Thanksgiving? A week before Christmas? Everyone has their deep-rooted opinions about when the Christmas season should begin, but I am here to tell you that Christmas can start as early as you want it to. In my opinion, the earlier the better.

Usually, I like to see Christmas decorations in my own house the day after Thanksgiving. We can't just completely forget about the food-lovers holiday that is Thanksgiving. However, I will not discriminate against the houses that I drive past that have their Christmas lights out prior to this. Nothing puts me in a better mood than everything that has to do with Christmas. Christmas lights, music, decorations, Starbucks drinks, sweaters... you name it, and I'm on board with it.

Don't get me started on Christmas movies. 25 Days of Christmas? Golden. Hallmark movies and any Netflix Christmas movies? Absolutely. Some of my all-time favorite movies are Christmas movies, so don't be surprised if you catch me watching one in the middle of July.

Also, post-Christmas blues is a very real thing in my household. Once all of the hype of Christmas day is over with, it's kind of a big bummer. Typically, my family takes down all of our decorations as soon as Christmas is over with. So, why not put them up as early as possible in order to get maximum enjoyment out of them.

I understand that everyone has their own long-standing family traditions that call for the Christmas season to start at different times. All I have to say is, if you want to start blasting your Christmas music the day after Halloween, I will do nothing but cheer you on.

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.
