Finals week can either be the best or the worst thing for college students. Depending on your schedule, you have so much free time you don't know what to do with yourself, or you study, study, study. With no exams or class work from last Wednesday until this Tuesday, I took advantage of the holiday spirit with some friends and relaxed this past weekend.
The Magic Tree is lit by a man in Columbia who used to have it in his yard, but it was moved to a shopping center lot this year due to too much disrupting with his neighbors. As seen below, it's quite a nice photo spot, and as Kathryn titled it, our Mizzou family went and took photos together!
Sherman, Kathryn, me, Kate, Laura, Shaina, Amy and Andrew
Just for kicks, taking a picture by the "Hannukah Bush" across the field. The Jewish friends are in back, and the suitemates are in front :). It just happened to work out that the four girls who lived together freshmen year are close friends, and best friends with four Jews. No one has a problem with their religion by any means, it's just ironic. We constantly make jokes about being outnumbered in certain situations, but here it is even! The woman taking the photo was kind enough to wait for the lights (which change colors!) to be blue, what a nice citizen. So Merry Christmas and a Happy Hannukah!
Since we luckily went on one of Columbia's warm, 45 degree nights, the eight of us exchanged our Christmas presents in the gazebo near the Magic Tree and watched other group of friends take photos of themselves! Precious. 
At the House of Chow for Shaina's birthday dinner! We just can't get enough of each other.
Now....onto my Phi Mu family!
My pledge family had a nice dinner at my "grandma" Cassie's house, and stopped by the Magic Tree on the way home! Me, Stephanie, Shelley, Dani and Amy :)
The new Executive Board at our chapter advisor's house for a holiday dinner!
I hope this post gave you some Christmas spirit and I'll be writing more over break and after my two final exams!
