Christmas is well on its way and it will be here and gone before you know it! No matter if you hate the snow or not, we all equally love Christmas and if you don't you're most likely the scrooge no one wants to be around. No one wants that! I believe we should all have a little bucket list this December to make 2016 end with a nice little bang (because Lord knows we need it...). From watching as many christmas movies to having the biggest tree in your house this year, it will not matter what you do as long as you have a happy memory to live the rest of your life with. Here are some starter to-do's to make your Christmas wonderful and magical like it should be!

1. Decorate your Christmas Tree

3. DIY ornaments

We all miss making those really bad reindeer ornaments out of Popsicle sticks, why not do it now?


4. Go to New York City

Yeah, yeah, yeah it may be cold but go see a show, eat some food, go with some friends or family and look at the Rockefeller Christmas tree lit up!

5. Stay inside and bake cookies

Everyone loves cookies! What a better way to stay inside on a cold and snowy day and make chocolate chip cookies.

6. Watch Christmas movies

If you do not like Christmas movies, at least watch a Christmas Story. It's a classic!

7. Write a letter to Santa

I do not care how old you are! This will make you feel like a little kid again! Maybe a special someone will find it and get exactly what you want/need.


8. Go ice skating

I don't know how to ice skate however, I am willing to try this year! You should too! I am sure it will be fun for all of us, whether we fall down or stick the landing!

9. Christmas photo shoot

Be that weird person who sends Christmas cards that has you and your pets face on it. Embrace that ugly sweater!


10. Get matching PJ's with your family for Christmas Eve

Embrace that family love and get those really bad PJ's no one wants and look super adorable in them!


I hope everyone has a wonderful December and Happy Holidays! Don't worry 2016 is almost over. Let's hope for a good 2017!

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
