4. Big Freedia, December 10, The Art Garage.

This New Orleans native and queen of bounce music is bound to get you up and shakin' your booty! Click here to be dazzled by the one and only Freedia.

5. Running of the Santas with Flow Tribe and Category 6, December 17, The Metropolitan Nightclub.

A little advice for my original best friends

Bailey Totten

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

A little advice for my original best friends

You are young

You will be scared

But be brave

You are your own person

Take Chances

When you get the chance, play.

Listen to your parents

God First

Family second

Everything else comes after

The opposite sex doesn't matter

Life moves fast

Put money into your savings account

Study hard

Just remember your life isn't made up of numbers

Learn how to shake hands

Things will fall apart

But almost every time it's better in the long run

Choose kind over cool

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate

Have a hobby outside of your phone

Take care of your skin

Always put your name on the cover of your books

Take care of your teeth

I'm always here

You can never go back in time, so live in the now.

Appreciate what you have right now, don’t wish it away.

Look around you and take in what you see

Don’t slack off on college research

If you like a college, visit it, then visit again, maybe even stay overnight.

Don’t care about what anyone thinks

Graduation day will go by FAST, take every moment in.

While looking at colleges, make sure to take into consideration where they are located.

How popular you are right now literally doesn’t matter at all.

Don’t stress over your SAT scores

Don’t complain about a five-page paper, college will be much worse- get used to it

Enjoy all of the free time you have

Don’t stress the small stuff

Don’t worry about what colleges others are getting into

Go to prom

There will be a time when you miss high school

And why I fell in love.

You Consider Tree Hill Your Home

You Dream of Their Group of Friends

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

1. There are people who love you and want to be there for you.

2. It is OKAY to need alone time.

3. The outcome of the issue that you are stressing over probably is not as bad as you are imagining.

4. Just because you are feeling unmotivated does not mean you should give up.

5. God is there, even when you do not feel like He is.

Thank you.
