Happy December!!
The semester is practically over! I am very grateful to not be bogged down under a mountain of work; I really only have finals to worry about at this point. I literally just got back from Thanksgiving four days ago, and I only have three more days of classes until finals start. Then it's back to New York for me. But first, finals. I don’t know whether to be worried about them or not. I only have four to begin with, and only one of them covers material from the whole semester. So I can enjoy the holiday season in Nashville!
A one-stop flight from Nashville to my home state of Wisconsin departs on Tuesday, December 12th. I cannot believe that there are only fifteen more days left of the semester! In the next few weeks, I expect myself to be remarkably absorbed in the overabundance of homework I still need to complete. With that said, I hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving! 
It's about that time of year when everyone has a smile of their face, including myself. Just think about it for a second. First, you have Thanksgiving with family and all the food you can imagine. Then, the long break from the hustle and bustle of school. And last but not least there is Christmas, which is always a blast. Maybe this year it will snow down here in Nashville, because I am the snowball king. Yes sir! Yeah, there is a lot to worry about being a college student from homework and grades to living "on your own" and becoming an adult. But at the end of the day all you can do is just smile, life is just too short to worry all the time. Seize this great opportunity and make better for yourself. Oh, and by the way, hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you enjoy your family and all the food, because I know I will. 
So, these past few weeks have been extremely tough and I’m not quite sure how I’m getting through them right now, but I’m trying hard. I have to say though, as the year winds down and the weather gets cooler and basketball is in season I’m looking forward to the men's and women’s teams.

The holidays are almost here! I am proud to admit that my roommate and I (ok, well mostly my roommate because she is awesome) have already decorated our room for Christmas!! Yeah, we are insane and are quite aware that Christmas is more than a month away, but coming inside out of the ever present Nashville rain is just so much better when you have a festive room to be in!
