So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

What To Pack For College

By Jason Larrsohn


The day has finally come, you have graduated from high school, you are an adult, and you are free. All of your years of hard work and practical servitude are about to pay off, so what do you do next? The options are next to endless, but one of the most common and exciting is the opportunity to attend college.

What's already there?

First, check ahead to see what will be provided for you. Especially if you are moving into the dorms, a lot of necessities will already be taken care of for you. Most dorms and apartments come with mattress pads, microwaves, vacuums, and sometimes even shower curtains. A select few even come with toasters, coffee makers, cleaning supplies, TV/DVD players, and extra storage space. Call ahead and see what will be provided so you don't waste money and space packing things you don't need.

College has the potential to be one of the best experiences of your life, so prepare today to make that possibility a reality, and knock the socks off college. The choice is yours, so take this opportunity to choose a college experience that will make you happy and prepare you for a future of following and achieving your dreams.

One of the most important things to do as you prepare for college is to think about your goals for your career, your education, and your life. When you have a clear idea of the kinds of things you would like to spend your life doing, you will have an easier time making the choices that will get you there.

So research careers and colleges thoroughly so that when you pull on your first piece of University of Miami apparel, or your first Texas Tech T-shirts, you will know that you are exactly where you are supposed to be, and doing exactly what you wanted to do.

And once you have decided what and where you want to go, you should take the opportunity to set short and long term goals to help you achieve your dreams. Although wearing Arizona State apparel is a great step, it is not the only step in working towards attending the right school.

If you need help determining what you should take and what you should buy later, start by packing only the big necessities (blankets, clothes, etc.) as well as personal items you are positive you want with you at college (select photos, decorations, music, movies). Cut off items that you will most likely use less than once a month from your packing list. Remember, college rooms are usually small and you will most likely move a few times throughout your college career. Be practical. Don't take your whole world with you. Besides, you will always run across cool things that you will buy while you are away at college. You will most likely buy some University of Miami apparel or a Texas Tech t-shirt. If, after packing the necessities, you still have room, go ahead and throw in smaller supplies that you could have bought post-move.

Follow these three simple tips and you will have everything you need to start off on a new, exciting adventure! These will save you time, money, space, and stress. Now go have fun!
