10 Things To Do For Christmas

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

Everyone loves putting up decorations for Christmas! It would be better if you did it as a family!

2. Go to see local light shows

There are always light shows going on at local parks and we all have that one neighbor down the street that goes all out for Christmas decorating...

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!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
