College can be seen as a time when your faith may not be as strong as normal, because maybe you aren't going to church every week anymore, or you're not surrounded by those who believe in God either.

Sit back, relax and be entertained to the max from the most famous stars that are clearly double-threats too- or maybe they can dance too? Guess that will be our next investigation.

I would not call it a pet peeve, but I would call name-dropping a crime against humanity. I could be sitting down on a lovely couch with people and making many jokes or hearing many jokes, but I cannot always do this because name-droppers take control of the air to elevate their status with name-dropping.

Saving the best for last, December birthdays.

Our birthdays usually fall on stressful times of the year.

Sometimes Mother Nature is a real mother to our plans.

Our birthday can equal snow day.

The holiday season can overshadow our birthdays.

But we can still love this time of year.

Please don't wrap our birthday presents in Christmas wrapping paper though.

This time of year our outfits are on point.

You can get our gifts on sale.

We will shake up your winter plans.

The best people are born in December.

They don't have to pretend to be good at this.
