Why is it that many of our young growing generations are forever excited when Christmas comes around? What is so special and jolly about the beginning of December? There are many reasons as to why we will forever be excited about December, so here's a list of reasons as to why we all get terribly excited about December.

1. CHRISTMAS BREAK: SLEEP IS EVERYTHING

Ummmmm hello no more having to wake up early in the morning! As college students, we appreciate times when we get to lay in bed for however long we want. No more putting 7 alarms on to wake up in the morning.

2. No More Homework/Assignments/Exams Or Quizzes!

No more having to break dawn stressing over forgotten homeworks. No more having to scavenge through textbooks, notebooks attempting to look for answers. Christmas break allows us to take a step back and be lazy without any guilt.

3. Binge Watching

With Christmas break we are given a lot more free time to ourselves. T.V. shows that we all missed because we didn't have a “life” during the semester can now be watched as we can lay down in bed with all types of junk food and enjoy our shows.

4. Snow

Who doesn't like snow, the fun of building snowmen, or making snow angels? And on the plus side making hot chocolate with marshmallows is always a classic favorite!

5. Friends & Family

With going to school, we don't really get to see much of our family or even our friends from back home. With more time on our hands we can spend time with our siblings--who all but drive us nuts--and our friends who deal with all our craziness.

6. Christmas Songs

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring

Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun

Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square

In the frosty air!

With December break comes the Holiday Cheer. I know others and myself are terribly excited! Why hate this part of Winter Break when it becomes a time where it almost feels like you're a kid again? Christmas songs allow you the get all cheerful and to sing your heart out!

7. Christmas Movies

CHRISTMAS MOVIES!!!!!! At this point of time all of the networks show new and traditional Christmas movies. Classic ones to watch would be: Miracle on 34th Street, Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, and The Santa Clause 1, 2, & 3. There are many more movies to watch on the other hand there even many T.V. shows to watch as well!

8. Have A Happy New Year

It a sign of the year ending; we have all made it so far kicking and screaming. Many of us dying for the year to end and to run anew; to have fresh start. Hoping that the new year will bring us joy, happiness and prosperity!

As I wrap this up with a bow, I hope you all have made it through the last few days of the semester and I wish you the best of luck, and hopefully you are not all dead by the time the break arrives. So farewell my friends!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
