Hello, my fellow Clevelanders! The snow has landed and we know it won't be leaving soon. But I want to challenge you to not let the snow kill your spirit and enjoy the many amazing parts of Cleveland in the winter. So put on NSYNC's "Home For Christmas" and read along, creating your own list of ways to take in Christmas this year in Cleveland.

Catch a Show at Playhouse Square

One of my favorite traditions that many elementary schools started was enjoying a Christmas performance at Playhouse! Through the next three weeks, there are multiple shows to catch. From "A Christmas Story" to "A Christmas Carol," you can come enjoy the amazing talent right downtown.

Send Out Christmas Cards

I know this is not really something that Millennials like to do you know the whole purchase stamps, hand write a card or put things in the mail. We prefer to shop online and receive! But imagine how happy your grandma is going to be when she gets your card ?! So just spend an evening on Pinterest researching some ideas for addressing. I like to use tutorials for fonts and go to town.

But what can you do when it's TOO BAD to go outside?

Put On Some Hallmark Christmas Movie Invite Friends and Family Over Bake Cookies

As much as I love to go out and explore the city, there is something ultimately refreshing by having a cozy night in. So just invite some friends over, preheat the oven and enjoy the company of the people who are already in your life that make it so great. This is sure to keep your from remembering the snow is coming down like crazy.

Have A Girls Night In and Pamper Yourself

Due to the wonderful cold, our skin is going to so much drier. This is the perfect time to treat your skin with additional attention to your skin. Why not have each person bring one item to make an at home sugar scrub and follow that with a rich lotion. You could make extra to take home in small mason jars to use all season long.

I hope that you found an idea that you will enjoy with your loved ones this holiday season. Don't let the snow freeze your heart. Enjoy some company from your friends and the wonderful baked good of the season.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
