Hello Holidays!

Christmas lights, cozy blankets, movies, and family time are just a few of my favorite things when it comes to the holidays!

The holidays are finally approaching! This is ALWAYS my favorite time of the year simply because I enjoy family time, warm drinks, cool weather, fun fashion styles, sweets (but that is quite the norm for me), Christmas music, and so much more! Let's face it, I'm a holiday person...quite a bit. Something about seeing Christmas lights, decorations, and smelling the aromas of coffee and baked goods makes my heart feel full and warm.

I think this time of year is perfect to go out and find some fun things to do! Personally, I love seeing Christmas lights, shopping for gifts, enjoying a warm lunch, or even enjoying a coffee date with friends. Spending time with family is also something I enjoy doing as well. Sharing laughs, hugs, and smiles always soothes my soul. You can always find things to be thankful for when it comes to family and being with them.

Something I keep telling myself is that when I have my own house it will probably look like the north pole and I am totally okay with that. Decorating is a must. If I don't get to do it I will go crazy. Period.

Oh and let's not forget about snuggling up with a cozy blanket and watching Christmas movies when it is too chilly to go out and about! One movie I am really excited to watch this year is Dolly Parton's Christmas of Many Colors which will be on NBC at 9/8c, November 30th. If you love her as much as I do, you won't want to miss this heartwarming movie based on her childhood!

There are so many fun activities you can do during the holidays and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I honestly could go on and on about the things I love during this time of year. If I did, this article would probably be twenty pages long. So for your benefit I shortened it to about one page. Please know this was not easy for this crazy holiday lovin' gal. If you love the holidays like me, then you will understand this. Anyway, enjoy these times with family and friends and make the most of it.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
