Winter Break. Every college students favorite nightmare. A time where we get a chance to come home for a few weeks to celebrate the holidays with family and friends, enjoy some of Mom's home-cooked meals, and converse on our absolute favorite topics about being away at school. I know we all try to avoid it, but we're bound to face these dreadful questions at some point. They just make winter break so much more cheerful, am I right? Here's a few you're going to hear....enjoy!

1. How's school going?

The number one most asked question of all time. And the answer? Great. College is just great. But we both know how it's really going...

2. Do you have all A's?

Tip: If you start laughing, it'll hide the tears from the pain of your last exam.

3. What classes are you taking?

"English, Math, and Science and I LOVE them ALL." But, you really want to say "Lit105, Econ130, BioChem 210 and they will be the death of me."

4. How many credits is that?

Hold on while I add that up for you...and no I'm not squeezing a gym class into that schedule.

5. What are your plans for after college?

Good question because I have no idea. I don't even know what I'm going to do with my life tomorrow. Maybe I'll take a nap or watch a season of "Grey's Anatomy." But who knows what I'll be doing in three years.

6. Are you dating anyone right now?

There it is...That dreadful question Grandma just had to ask...Just smile and maybe she'll stop.

7. Well, WHY aren't you dating anyone right now?

Priorities Grandma...a.k.a food.

8. What do you do on the weekends?

Oh, you know, I just hang out with friends and stuff. Nothing too crazy! Just don't look at my Snapchat story on Friday and Saturday nights.

9. Are you spending your money wisely?

Let's be real here. What money? I'm a broke college student, remember?

10. You're eating healthy and staying active right?

Sure! If you count getting up from the couch to walk to the fridge staying healthy and active.


Happy Holidays Everyone!

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
