It is that time of the semester again, and the holidays are rapidly approaching. The weather is getting colder, and the semester is almost over.

Do not procrastinate, and get all of the homework you can out of the way as soon as possible. Do not wait until Thanksgiving break. That break is for you to spend time with your friends, family or loved ones. It is not time for you to be cramming in weeks worth of homework, projects or papers.

Take advantage of the time you have at home before the last week of school and finals. Take advantage of the break, the sleep and the time in general.

When you come back from break, spend time with your friends because you will be gone for about a month and a half. Enjoy the crisp air with a warm drink and just enjoy yourself. Take advantage of what is going on at KU.

To those who are graduating this semester, congratulations! I hope you have had a wonderful time here at KU and will go far in life after you leave our little home here. Still, make sure you finish any remaining school work and then spend as much time as you can with your friends. Who knows when you will see them again?

If you celebrate the holidays, take advantage of the wonderful gifts in the KU stores. Shop with friends or family and just have a good time. This time of year is really about spending time with those we care about. Make sure you take advantage of that because it will soon be over.

The Keystone staff wishes everyone happy holidays and congratulates the graduates of Fall 2014!
