Why do you need to play Christmas music in November?

There are just some things about the Christmas season that start way too early. I like to think of it as two different people. There's one that's ready for Christmas when November 1st starts and the other type (like me) that waits until December 1st for everything Christmas.

1. Christmas Music

93.3 The Drive

So many people start listening to Christmas music the first day in November. Really? It's still Turkey season… chill. (Pun intended.) I want to hear Mariah Carey's "All I want for Christmas" as few times as possible.

2. Getting a Christmas Tree

The Independent

I don't know what it is with people getting Christmas trees earlier and earlier but I think waiting the day after Thanksgiving is still really early. Maybe the first week in December but there's actually people out there who finish their turkey and go and get a tree.

3. Decorating For Christmas

Now I understand this one a little more for doing it in November because no one wants to be putting up lights outside when it's freezing out. I mean yeah put up the lights outside but the people that actually light up their lights before Thanksgiving are a totally different breed.

4. Christmas Movies That Are Released

google.com

Netflix has so many new Christmas movies that come out in the middle to end of November before Thanksgiving, and not to mention the movies that come out in theaters. The movie theaters usually wait until December but the new Grinch movie came out on November 9th of this year.

5. Posting Of Pictures Of New York City

I've already seen on my Facebook timeline a few people posting about how they want to go to New York City during Christmas at Least once in their life. I mean who doesn't?

I actually really like the Christmas season and looking at the Christmas lights around the city and don't get me wrong I love all the Christmas cookies and all the decorations and what not but the Christmas music and the early decorating just get me every time.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
