My mother always said, "When decorating for the holidays, make sure to please the five senses." Here are some easy things to add around your living space that will appeal to your senses this holiday season.

See A Tree!

A little tree is perfect to add to a nightstand, coffee table, shelf, or desk. It's always nice to see a Christmas tree!

Taste A Treat

Candy canes remind me of all the holiday sweets. Peppermint is a seasonal favorite. It's always nice to have a taste of the holidays readily available. Feel free to put your treats in Christmas-themed mugs, too!

Smell the Season

An easy way to get the smell of the season in your apartment is to buy some cinnamon scented pine cones. Put them on the table and the smell will permeate throughout the room. Every time you walk in the room it'll smell like Christmas!

Jingle Bells!

Buy some bells to hang on your door. Whenever you open it, you will hear Santa's sleigh.

A Christmas Buddy

It never hurts to hug a Christmas stuffed animal when you're watching your favorite Christmas movie.

I hope these simple ideas will add some joy to your apartment this season!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.
