8 Books That You Need To Bring Into The New Year

Unfortunately with all the craziness of school I don't get to read as much as I would like to. That's why I am so happy that school is over and I can take the time to read a few new books I've had on my list for awhile.

A few months ago I wrote and article on eight books that changed my life. And today I am here to give you another eight books that are must reads. I've read a good amount of books since that article so it was hard to choose just eight. But I thought since many of us are starting break it would be a great time to give people some ideas. Self help books an inspirational books are my jam and I am so excited to share this list with you, so here it is!

1. "Girl Wash Your Face" by Rachel Hollis

2. "ACT Like a lady" by Keltie Knight & Becca Tobin & Jac Vanek

3. "Get Out of Your Head" by Jennie Allen

4. "You Are a Badass" by Jen Sincero

5. "Don't Overthink it" by Anne Bogel

6. "Buy Yourself The F*cking Lilies" by Tara Schuster

7. "Your Next Level Life" by Karen Arrington

8. "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey

You might notice a few recurring authors on this list but it's because there books really are just that great. I loved everyone of these books and they have helped me with dealing with my professional and personal life. I know theres this weird stigma around self help and self love books but I think they are one of the best genres. So I say this winter break go to your local book store and grab a book that makes you feel happy, no matter what genre it is.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows.
