There Are 2 Types Of Post-Halloween People

There are those who support Christmas music the second the clock strikes 12 on November 1 and those who strictly wait until AFTER Thanksgiving.

1. The overly zealous Christmas pushers.

Here at Liberty University, we started putting up our Christmas trees, lights, and wreaths BEFORE HALLOWEEN! Not going to lie, this made me a little upset. And I woke up this morning to several social media posts about how it's "officially Christmas season" and Snapchats of people listening to Christmas music. Noooooo! No. No. Thanksgiving is a really important holiday too, and I kind of feel bad for it since it's so often overshadowed by Christmas. I personally believe that while, yes, Christmas is magical, its traditions of getting together with family and having a nice, big meal are the same as Thanksgiving, except that Christmas includes presents. But I know full well that within the next few weeks before Thanksgiving break, I will be surrounded by people listening to Christmas music, talking about Christmas, discussing what they want and what to get other people, what plans they have, etc. Calm down, people. Yes, Christmas is exciting, but don't wear it out. Christmas is so special since it only comes once a year.

2. The people who wait until after Thanksgiving. 

Ahhhh, the sensible people. Sorry to anyone who is on the other side of the spectrum, but the post-Thanksgiving people are where it's at. You see, you should get excited for Thanksgiving first!! Like I said before, I feel bad for the holiday. And honestly, Thanksgiving is such a nice one to celebrate. I am so excited to go home for Thanksgiving this year. I can spend the whole month of November looking forward to Thanksgiving. And once Thanksgiving is over – well, THEN I can get excited about Christmas. One thing at a time, you know? Time goes by so fast as it is already. We should try to slow down and appreciate every moment, even if Christmas does seem sometimes to be more exciting than Thanksgiving. Don't take any moment for granted. Enjoy the present!

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.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
