PSA For The Holiday Fruitcakes: It's Too Early For Christmas

All I want for Christmas is to not hear Christmas music before Thanksgiving.

Every year stores start putting up their Holiday decorations earlier and earlier. As soon as Halloween is over the stores have all their Christmas decorations and the ads for Holiday shopping. But here's the thing...

Thanksgiving hasn't even happened yet.

It's way too early for Christmas and it's definitely too early to start listening to Christmas songs (unless it's from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" because technically it's set between the two Holidays). But I personally am sick of listening to "All I Want For Christmas Is You" playing every day from November 1st till December 25th. That is way too long.

If Halloween gets a month of celebration, Christmas should get the same or at least wait until Thanksgiving is over.

Besides, Thanksgiving is the holiday where you just get to eat a lot of food and have a whole weekend to recover. I mean how great is that! And if you go to college, you get a nice relaxing break before your finals start. It's a good holiday in its own right, so don't ignore it just to skip ahead to Christmas.

It's not Christmas time, it's Thanksgiving time.

It's a time to give thanks and spend time with your family. It's time for the Thanksgiving Day Parade and pie. It's time for turkey and cornbread. But really Thanksgiving is probably there to break up Halloween and Christmas so that Christmas time isn't almost two months.

I know I might sound like a Grinch, but please wait until after Thanksgiving before you start blasting your Christmas music and putting up your decorations. There is such a thing as it being too early to listen to Christmas music and before Thanksgiving and especially before Halloween is that 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.

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.
