Christmas is coming fast and so is the snow! Which means hot chocolate and cuddling up on the couch watching 25 Days of Christmas! In New York City, Christmas is all about the events, the food, and everyone who look at all of the lights in awe.

1. Rockefeller Center

Rockefeller Center is absolutely beautiful. The best part? The huge tree in the middle of it all. Lit up in thousands of lights. It's up now until January 7th.

2. Radio City Christmas Spectacular

After seeing the tree, you can walk to Radio City for a Christmas show like no other. The Christmas Spectacular is full of cheer. It is 90 minutes of you questioning how these girls kick so high and so in sync.

3. Ice Skating

Whether you know how to skate or not, it's fun trying not to embarrass yourself and fall. There are many places where you can go ice skating. If you enjoy being around many people, Rockefeller Center is your best bet. If you want to go somewhere more relaxed, Bryant Park has a great rink.

4. NYE Ball Drop

We all gather around the TV on New Year's Eve to watch the countdown clock wind down and see everyone screaming. But if you're lucky enough you can go there in person and witness how loud and how crazy it gets. Maybe you could finally get your midnight kiss.

5. Popup Holiday Markets

Support small businesses! Come see what these vendors have to sell. There are markets in Bryant Park, Grand Central, Columbus Circle, and Union Square!

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
