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.
