From December 1- Dec 31 sweets are basically pushed at you and when you try and refuse, it's met with "But it's Christmas, the calories don't count"! I wish we could all eat every sweet that was offered to us. If you know your New Year's Resolution is going to be to hit the gym more and if you're trying to not consume your body weight in sugar on a daily basis (but let's face it, some days it's hard to avoid doing just that) here, are some of my favorite holiday treats that I tend to pick over the others.

1. Hot Chocolate (w/ a Candycane)

Hot Chocolate is a great because you can sip on it and enjoy it for a while as opposed to just being done in a bite or two.

2. Sugar Cookies

Sugar Cookies are double fun because you get to decorate them AND eat them.

3. Cherry Shortbread 

Especially when half is sipped in chocolate, and it has cherries so you can tell yourself it's healthy right.

4. Candy canes

Basically the Christmas version of lollipops.

5. Fudge

With or without nuts, fudge is just a Christmas classic.

6. Kettle Corn 

Again, like the sweeter, more holidayish version of regular popcorn.

7. Ferror Roche's 

I am fan of quality cholcate and these are just so easy to pop in your mouth (a little too easy, and may lead to eating like 10 of them). But so so good.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
