It's the most wonderful time of the year! And that means Christmas and winter everything. Here are a few ways to gear up for the holidays.

1. Make s'mores.

Gather friends or family around a real or gas-powered fire and roast marshmallows for s'mores. Bundle up and share stories and talk about holiday traditions. Pair your s'mores with a hot chocolate or apple cider!

2. Watch Christmas movies.

Nothing says Christmas like watching all of your favorite holiday movies while you still can. Pop some popcorn, invite friends over and have a marathon of all your favorites. My favorites include Elf and A Christmas Story.

3. Make Christmas cookies/treats.

Search through Pinterest, online or look through family recipes/recipe books and bake your favorite holiday treats for the season. Share it with others (it can make a great gift) and enjoy your treats.

4. Listen to Christmas music.

When you're driving, wrapping gifts, getting ready for a holiday party, really anytime! Having Christmas music on often is a sure way to get your holiday spirit up, especially if you sing and/or dance along.

5. Go ice skating.

Even if you fall down multiple times, grab some friends and go ice skate! Get hot chocolate after to warm up and skate around in circles till you're too tired to stand.


Happy holidays!

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
