What I Do During The Holiday Season

What is everyone Christmas tradition during this wonderful Christmas holiday?

My Christmas tradition is going to my uncle's house the night of the 23 to kick off the Christmas holiday season What we do is we open secret Santa gifts, eat a bunch of food and we play bingo. The way that we pick secret Santa is by writing down names and picking them out of a hat. What we eat that night is sauce with fried fish. By the end of the night we open the presents and we play bingo for money.

The night of Christmas Eve we go to my aunt's house and we do a grab bag and eat so much good food from fish, to pasta and sauce, sometimes some kind of protein and for dessert we eat a bunch of sweet things and drink coffee, tea, and hot coco; and for the adults we drink alcohol with dinner and dessert. For the grab bags, we write numbers down for anyone who want to play and whatever number you pick that was the number you pick for your gift.

Christmas morning we open up presents at my mom's house, then we just relax after that. After we relax that's when we will start to get ready and then we go to my dad's house and we open up more presents there. This year for Christmas Day, we have a new tradition where my dad is going to have Christmas day at his house, and d secret Santa as well. We always eat so much food from homemade sauce, to stuffed shrimp and homemade Italian cookies and we just end up having a good time.

During the Christmas season, I love eating all of the good food, opening all of the present and seeing all of the trees in front of everyone's windows and seeing all of the different lights outside everyone's houses. I love seeing everything covered in the white snow during Christmas time, it makes Christmas so much better.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
