1. Relax

Give yourself a manicure and pedicure ladies, or maybe deep condition your hair, use a face mask, take a bubble bath. Whatever relaxes you.

2. Brain Work

Flickr

Do a crossword, or a word search, read a book, or maybe get ahead on some homework that we all know you have been procrastinating on.

3. Be Productive

Flickr

Get some cleaning done! Clean your makeup brushes, your bathroom, your room or organize your closet. Go outside and clean out your vehicle!

4. Be Adventurous

Flickr

There are so many fun and cool things to do. Start your own blog, plan a party, go on a hike, visit a museum, get an idea for your next tattoo, plan your next vacation. Do a photo shoot with your friend or pets, or just start driving go some place new!

5. Do Some Meal Prep

Flickr

Don't lie: everyone hates the question "what's for dinner?" So plan a few meals in advance. Plan to go out to dinner or search and try out a few new recipes.

6. Get Fit

Flickr

One thing that always makes you feel better is some good exercise. It doesn't have to be a lot, do some yoga, a few sit-ups. You can do anything really!

7. Try Something New

Flickr

What's something you have never done or have always wanted to do? Find a place you could spend some free time volunteering at or look for another job if needed. Start some DIY projects that could turn into a profit.

8. Set Goals

Flickr

It's never too late to dream. Take some time to write down your goals or even what you want out of life the most. Maybe where you are going next. Set your goals and aim high - surprise yourself and get there!

9. Party!

Flickr

Whether you're home alone, with your dog, with your family, or some friends: find some alcohol (or no alcohol who cares about your choice.) Get that perfect playlist out and crank that sh** and dance, sing, or scream. Have some fun!

10. Last, but not least...take a nap.

TAKE A NAP. SLEEP HELPS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
