5 Things to do on Boxing Day

Let's do the time traveller thing. . .

Boxing Day is a public holiday popularly celebrated on 26th December every year in The United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada and Australia. It's a middle-aged custom where servants get boxes of gifts. So a day after Christmas, servants will take their boxes to their employers to fill them with gifts, money and more.

But now, it has since gone from a servant/employer thing to an exchange of gifts and show of love to one another without bounds

Below are 5 things you should do on Boxing Day like this one;

1. Listen to your favourite all-time Christmas songs. - You should get your groove back on with Christmas songs from way back like Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas is You, Mary Did You Know by Kenny Rogers ft Wynonna Judd, you can also try the Pentatonix version.

2. Watch a Christmas movie -
It's still Christmas, why not see some movies about the birth of Christ, comics like The Nativity Story, Christmas with the Kranks, A Nanny for Christmas (my favourite - it's a lighthearted drama).

3. Make someone happy with a gift - Send a gift. Bless someone with anything good at all. Do something nice for people. Make their Christmas a remarkable one. Even making a recipe goes a long way.

4. Attend a concert, show, or see a movie at the cinema - Go have fun at a Mozart. . . go sight seeing, or go watch that movie you've always wanted to and it's showing at the cinemas.

5. Eat out! You can afford to spare the body some calories. If you don't want to eat out, it's okay to grill that whole chicken and devour it! It's Christmas. . . be happy even with the food!

Which one are you gonna try?

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
