Happy holidays from me and my roommates to you and yours! To get into the festive spirit my roommates have been happily letting me force them into making decorations to turn our living room into a winter wonderland. With finals just around the corner, adding some holiday activities into your day may help you destress and spend some much needed time just hanging out with your friends.

1. Make 3D paper snowflakes.

These are just really cool and easy to make all you need is some computer paper and some tape.

2. Decorate a Christmas tree.

You can even make your own ornaments.

3. Decorate stockings.

Quick, easy, and super festive.

4. Make a tree out of lights on the wall.

All you need are lights and tape or some push pins.

5. Go caroling at your friend's house.

Think of all the great Snapchat story content you'll be making.

6. Take a trip to Target.

The holiday decor mecca.

7. Make hot chocolate.

"Here we only got one rule, never ever let it cool."

8. Bake and decorate cookies

You can even make this into a "friendly" competition.

9. Make a holiday card.

Get all cute and dressed up and snap a picture to send to your friends and family at home!

10. Go see the holiday decorations in town.

All of the lights will get you right in the holiday spirit.

11. Go ice skating.

Put on your rental skates and watch all of the kids skate lady around you!

12. Host an ugly sweater party.

The best time to wear a striped holiday party is all the time.

13. Have a festive movie night.

"Buddy the elf, what's your favorite color?"

14. Participate in a secret Santa.

$10 goes a long way.

15. Volunteer locally.

You can make holiday cards to donate to a hospital to spread your holiday cheer with others.


The holiday season is especially stressful for college students considering it brings about the end of the semester and finals. Taking a much-needed break to bring some holiday happiness into your day will for sure reduce your stress. If you don't have time to do everything on this list, just remember the best way to spread holiday cheer is singing loud for all to hear!

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends.

In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
