Although 2016 is coming to close very near there is still time to recruit some friends and go on some winter adventures you’ll remember forever.

1. Holiday Lights

Some houses certainly know how to put on a holiday show. They pull out all the stops, hundreds of lights, large inflatable blow ups, and fun displays. Whether you go out with your family or your friends, driving around your town to find the best-decorated house will be a fun time.

2. Ice Skating

Whether you go with friends, family, a loved one, or maybe all of the above ice skating is a great way to go to fill up some of your time. Even if you can’t skate I wouldn’t rule out ice skating from your to-do list. It’s a great way to spend time with people while having fun! Watch out for all those pro little kid ice skaters who zig in and out of traffic doing circles around everyone! Plus, you never fail to have that one pro figure skater on the ice who has no show everyone up, it’s some great entertainment,

3. Play in the Snow

Find your inner kid and relive all your fun winter memories. Gather your friends and family and go out and enjoy the snow. Whether that is building a snowman, having a snowball fight, building a snow fort, or making a snow angel.

4. Go Sledding

Sledding is a great thrill activity to do with anyone. As a kid, finding a huge hill and racing down it with all your friends was a definitely must during winter. However, you are never too old to bring out that old sled and find a nice hill near you!

5. Have a Movie Marathon

Bored at home with nothing to do? I would highly recommend getting yourself a nice cup of hot cocoa, blankets, and hanging out on the couch having a movie marathon. Whether you are in the mood for Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or some classic Holiday Movie. If you’re wishing to go down the holiday path TV stations like The Hallmark Channel or Freeform play nonstop holiday movies during the holiday season,

6. Make Cookies

With hundreds of recipes online that pretty much all include the same 10 ingredients you could spend days just making cookies. These holiday treats are great to eat and great to make. If you’re looking for a great bonding activity to do in the home with friends or family making cookies is for sure a front runner!

7. Go to New York City

Last, but not least, NYC is a great play to be during the holiday season. With sales in almost every store, magnificent light displays, a large Christmas tree, or ice skating in Rockefeller Center. There are so many things to do in New York City during this time of the year and there will never be a dull moment!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
