10 Things that are Only Acceptable in the Month of December
Shatta Lyrics

1. The mass of Trader Joe's peppermint flavored Items

Trader Joe's is probably my favorite grocery store to visit during the month of December. They fill their aisles with mounds of Holiday Treats including their peppermint bark. I also feel better eating these treats because of Trader Joe's being organic.

2. Cranberry Bliss Bar from Starbucks

You can only get these now, and if you can stock up. They sell them in bulk at your local Starbucks, be careful.

3. Any Holiday drink from Starbucks

Yay festive cups! My personal favorite drink is the Carmel Brûlée Latte.

4. Chai Tea


For me personally, it feels wrong to drink Chai in any other month besides December. Sweet or Spicy, this drink is sure to warm the heart of any Grinch.

5. Your Mom's Christmas Cookies

Everyone's family has those cookies that come back every year. There only here for a little bit, so might as well eat them right?

6. The Holiday Scented Candles from Bath and Body Works

Look out for massive sales. I know you want your room smelling like a Christmas Tree all the time.

7. Candy Canes

These are another item that are usually just not available year round. Stir your hot chocolate with them, or just eat them alone.

8. Micheal Buble's Holiday Album

On repeat.

9. Red Nail Polish


Red nail polish always seems like too mature of a color for me until I get to December.

10. Sparkles



Although I think sparkles should be an everyday essential, New Years does make it a little bit more accepted in December.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
