We’re in the stressful finals season that falls within the awkward period of time between Thanksgiving and the December holidays. Sadly, this finals season has replaced the holiday season. Georgetown becomes wonderfully festive during December with Winter Hoyaland and the Christmas tree lighting, but there is still an omnipresent attitude of stress. Everyone is trying to focus and study while also salvage holiday spirit. As important as finals and grades are, I also believe that happiness and enjoyment during the holiday spirit should be another priority.
1. Organize a Secret Santa with people on your floor or your closest friends.
2. Take some time to decorate your room.
3. Go find the best decorated houses nearby.
4. Bake some cookies.
Gingersnaps, sugar, snickerdoodles, peppermint chocolate chip! There are so many different kinds, and you really just can’t go wrong. Even though common room ovens can be a little finicky, your floor will smell like wonderful, delicious baked goods and your whole floor will thank you for it.
