Yes, It's November, And Yes, I Am Ready For Christmas

"Christmas isn't just a day, it's a frame of mind." -"Miracle On 34th Street" (1947)

As I write this, it is November 7th, 2019, and one week ago, it was Halloween. But when the clock struck midnight on November 1st, I felt the Christmas spirit rush through my veins!

It felt so good. It's that time of year again.

Don't get me wrong, I love Thanksgiving. It's delicious and I am especially thankful for everything on Thanksgiving. But that is a one-day holiday where we dress all fancy just to walk around the house, then sit down for a large meal that will straight up put you in a food coma easily. In as little as 30 minutes, dinner is over.

Christmas, however, is not just a holiday on December 25th, no no no. Christmas is so much more.

Christmas is walking through the mall and watching people go crazy for the hottest toy of the year. Christmas is going to Starbucks and drinking their holiday drinks way too much. Christmas is putting up the tree with your family while there are cookies in the oven.

Christmas is however and whenever YOU celebrate it.

You know what? That is okay!

Christmas takes some time to prep for, so while there are people who want to rush all their Christmas festivities, just know you've been able to enjoy your Christmas season because you've been celebrating since November.

Honestly, that is just so smart of you.

But if you are so anti-Christmas until December 1st, then fine. But for those of us who are ready to take part in all things Christmas, go for it.

Blast your Christmas playlist. Watch your favorite Christmas movies. Decorate your house. Whatever you want to do, just do it, and do not let those negative Nancys put a damper on your holiday spirit.

So, from me to you, let's get our Christmas on!

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
