December Bucket List

The last month of the year is already here! It’s a crazy time with finals coming up and the holiday season in full swing, but there are so many fun things to do. Here is a bucket list for the month of December for when you need a break from the chaos.


1. Go see some Christmas lights

Many towns and cities have holiday light shows and beautiful displays for people to see.

2. Go ice skating

I might fall on the ground more than I'll be on my feet, but that's half the fun, right?

3. Go on a sleigh ride

I always see pictures of horse-drawn carriages driving through the streets or snow. Wouldn't it be cool to experience it in real life?

4. Do a holiday-themed 5K run

Get out in the cold for some fresh air and exercise. Many runners dress up in holiday apparel and a lot of local races give out fun holiday prizes.

5. Bake Christmas cookies

Who doesn't love warm, homemade cookies?

6. Christmas movie marathon

There are so many great holiday classics, so why not watch as many as you can to get in the holiday spirit?

7. Have a photo shoot with friends

Take a break from studying to take fun pictures with your friends, family, or pets.

8. Make a bonfire

Warm up and relax by a big fire (and bring some marshmallows, too).

9. Make a holiday playlist

Get in the spirit by compiling your favorite Christmas songs into one giant playlist.

10. Have brunch with friends

Catch up with old friends or get to know new friends better over a cozy brunch.

11. Read a book

Take a break from the craziness to read a good book while you have the time.

12. Make homemade apple cider

Cook this traditional winter beverage in a crock pot to fill the house with the sweet smell of fresh apples.

13. Go Christmas shopping at non-traditional places

Get away from the chaos of the malls and outlets & shop at some smaller local businesses.

14. Write a holiday card for someone

It's the holiday season - do something nice for somebody.

15. PEPPERMINT

It's my favorite flavor of any holiday, so take advantage of ALL of it.

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?

sisters

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!)
