Refreshment: It's the best time of year

Right now, in this moment in time is one of the very best times of the year. There are two days of classes left and then it is Thanksgiving break. This is the time of year where you start to experience Christmas spirit. Soon, you will start to see Christmas lights every where you go. You'll be able to see Christmas trees in peoples houses when you drive by. Christmas music will be playing everywhere you go. People's moods will start to get merrier. I promise you that. It's fun because most college students are excited to get home and not have classes for the holidays. Two of the very best holidays are coming up and how exciting is that. The excitement should be contagious.

Why am I talking up this time of year? To refresh you and put things into perspective. Although the excitement is upon you, there are a lot of things that are easy to worry about. There are class projects, tests, presentations, assignments, etc. For some reason, most of the professors out there love to give out assignments and tests right before break. We get slammed by school work and then we come back from Thanksgiving break and we got slammed again. After Thanksgiving break, we show up thinking we are only at school for a couple of days, and those two and a half weeks seem like months because of the workload and business.

Apart from the busy crap, this is the very best time of year. Don't let the circumstances you're going through take that away from you. If you start to get stressed, take a deep break and remember that this is the best time of year. Don't get down or discouraged. If you let those small things bother you, you're going to miss out on a lot of happiness.

You don't want to get through the holiday season and realize that you were taking things for granted. In the grand scheme of things, it's that way to live life. Yeah this is the best time of year, but being as blessed as we are, every day is the best day of year. Live with that perspective and I promise you a feeling of refreshment.

This post was specially for those who get easily dragged down by school and the business of life. I encourage you to not let those things drag you down. When you do, you will miss out on a lot of the little things.

Enjoy this time of year my friends, it's the very best.
