The Most Glorious Time of Year

Beyond the stress of finals and studying, this is truly my favorite time of the year. Having not grown up in the North, I truly crave the season of winter year round. I love the snow, the lights, the silence of night, and the layers of fabulous holiday fashion and cafe au lait that I get to indulge in everyday. In my discovery, people are generally in the best spirits possible despite the biting cold. Maybe it is the fact that we all know regardless of what happens throughout our year, the holidays are the only time we can truly reunite with our families despite any cause. Having not lived within any near proximity of my family for the past three and a half years, I cannot wait to spend time with the people I love the most. Only a few more days and I will surpass this final Fall semester, move into the year of 2011, graduate, and begin a new chapter in my life. There is too much to be grateful for this holiday season.
