8 Ways To Flow in the Cuffing Season

Let's face it. It's sweater season. It's getting colder. Time to bring out the Ugg boots. It's time to mentally prepare yourself for the holiday season. That's right, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and we can even wrap it up with Valentine's Day. This is also the season to take that special relationship to the next level. It's time to start thinking about how you want to spend these holidays with that special someone. Now, I'll give you some advice on how to be successful in this season.

1. Transparency

It's time to be honest and upfront about your feelings. If you have a crush on someone, take that risk and express yourself because, you never know how they feel.

2. Commitment

When you're successful, don't stop putting in a 110% effort. Prioritize. Especially if your a college student, this is also a time of major exams, but instead of getting distracted, you now have acquired a new source of motivation. Use it. You and your lover should be each other's cheerleader, tutor, motivational speaker. If you think about it, the quicker you're finished with your homework and the more successful you are, the longer you can play.

3. Actions Speak Louder than Words

This cuffing season, remember that there is a whole lot more value in what do you for another person, than just saying what you would like to do for them. Especially in the Cuffing Season. (Vote, please, every vote counts.)

4. Be Happy. Be Yourself.

You don't have to put up a front to get someone's attention. Trust me, if it's real, they will notice you and gravitate towards you. The feeling will be mutual, and that mutual feeling will be the best feeling ever.

5. Don't Be Afraid

Another aspect of the cuffing season, don't be afraid to let your significant other meet your family. If he/she is really someone significant, they'll just have to accept your family, even if they are the most dysfunctional. If you personally don't even accept your own family, maybe your lover will help you overcome that barrier so you can grow as a better person.

6. Share

Share your space. Share your love. Share your thoughts on life. Share your time. Share your food. Why? Why not?

7. Be Open-minded

During this cuffing season, your lover might be very different from you. For example, they might come from a totally different culture. They may even be of a different race. However, these are the differences you are attracted to. In addition to that, be ready to learn new things about yourself in this journey.

8. Be Spontaneous

Forget about routine. Live in the moment, and enjoy each other's company. Don't be afraid to be scared about the future, and let your relationship grow.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

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

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

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."
