  1. The Holidays Whatever you celebrate, the holidays are full of food, fun, family, and friends. Who doesn’t love that???
  2. SNOW SNOW SNOW! Come on, snow is awesome. (When you don’t have to drive in it, that is.)
  3. Sledding/Tubing. Go down that hill at lighting speed!
  4. Hot Chocolate. What’s that song from the Polar Express?
  5. Lights. Twinkly lights everywhere! And, those slightly scary blow-up Santas.
  6. The Cold Air. I don’t know about you, but even those my face feels like it’ll freeze off, there’s something so refreshing about cold air in your lungs.
  7. Cuddling. Curling up by the fire with a loved one and some hot cocoa is one of the best things about the season.
  8. Fire. Has anyone ever actually roasted chestnuts on an open fire? If you have, let me know if it’s as fun as it sounds.
  9. Christmas Tree. The smell of pine and pretty, sparkly ornaments!
  10. Family. Once the holidays hit, you’re stuck with them! Enjoy the time.
  11. Lazy Days. Or more specifically, SNOW DAYS.
  12. Shoveling (What?) Alright, this one’s weird, but there’s something so fun about bundling up and doing all that work and coming back to steaming tea or hot chocolate!
  13. Ice Skating! I’m not an olympian, but who doesn’t love to fall a few times just for fun?
  14. Shopping. Christmas shopping, just for fun shopping, shopping with friends, shopping with family...I just love shopping, especially when the mall is decorated for the holidays!
  15. Wrapping Presents! Spread that love around. Wrapping presents is so much fun!
  16. Cookies, Cookies, and more Cookies...And too many cookies. It’s holiday cookies galore in my house every year, and let me tell you: by the time the holidays are over, my stomach can most definitely wait until next Christmas for more!
  17. Seeing Your Breath. There’s something about it being so cold that you can see your breath that makes me feel like a fire breathing dragon! But, the really cold kind.
  18. Snowy Night Walks. If you’ve never taken a walk while it’s snowing and you haven’t experienced the quiet, fluorescent white atmosphere, I suggest giving it a try. Take a camera, the dog, or a friend and watch the snow come down as you crunch through it.
  19. Holiday Music. It’s honestly my favorite. I put it on starting in November.
  20. New Year’s Fireworks. The end of a great year, and the start of an even better one!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
