10 Basic Things Every College Kid Should Be Thankful For This Holiday Season

1. Sweater Weather

Cozy cardigans are an essential for cool weather fashion. Between an over sized sweater, a blanket scarf, or combat boots any outfit could become cozy, yet super stylish. No doubt about it, cool weather fashion is the best fashion.

2. Cuddles

Whether it be with a signifigant other, a best friends, or a furry friend, or all by yourself, cuddling up in bed with lots of blankets is the ultimate way to relax after a long stressful day at school/work. A warm bed is a happy one.

3. Time with your loved ones

All throughout the holidays are times spent with your loved ones. Nothing beats a day spent with the ones you care about most. There is something about spending time with people you love that makes your days a little brighter and your hearts a little warmer.

4. Drinks

From hot chocolate, to apple cider, to Starbucks Holiday Drinks (Coming out on November 9!!) there is nothing a warm drink can't cure. Something about warming your insides that just melt you in this cold cold world.

5. Fuzzy socks

Nothing can beat a good pair of fuzzy socks. Not only are they super cozy, but also cute as can be! How can something keep your feet so warm, along with making your feet look adorable at the same time! Fuzzy socks are great to lounge around in, or wear with boots for extra warmth in your day.

6. FOOD

All throughout this holiday season, the best food is offered. All the turkey, potatoes, ham, stuffing, and PIE. There is so much available to get my winter body up and ready. Something about holiday food, just seems to have some sort of comfort. Did I mention it's also DELICIOUS?

7. Movies, Movies, Movies

Scary movies, to Christmas movies (personal fav) the holiday movies always seem to get us in the spirit for the holidays by getting us ready to get our holiday on. There is no doubt about it holiday movies are the best kind of movies ever made.

8. Hella good Insta pics

Whether it be cute pictures with pumpkins, in your costumes, to jumping in a pile of leaves with your cousin, and a cute picture under the mistletoe. The holiday season gives us so many opportunities to take the perfect Instagram pictures, in ever occasion. There's no way a little seasonal pic won't score you a couple extra likes.

9. Pretty scenery

From the pretty leaves, to the snow fall, to the lights, there is no way that anything could ever look more beautiful. Practically anywhere you go there is a beautiful sight waiting to be seen, full of holiday cheer. It's so festive and fun.

10. Faith

Something about the holiday season always has me having a little more faith. Faith in everything to be exact. Maybe even some more faith in magic.

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.
