The holiday season is a busy time filled with a lot of parties and gatherings. Rather than blowing all of your gift money on new clothes for every event, buy yourself a few key essentials to pull out for whatever comes up!

1. The Little Black Dress

Perfect for a simple Christmas outing, that family dinner you forgot about, or dress it up with heels and jewelry for your friend's NYE house party.

lulus, $38

2. Midi Skirt

A midi skirt will be your best friend. Whether you're headed to Christmas Eve Mass or a Christmas Eve party, it'll work. Throw a cute cropped sweater on or a glitter tank and you're ready for anything.

3. A Sweater for Anything

A nice knit sweater can be worn with anything. Throw it on with jeans or over your new midi skirt. Versatility is key.

Aerie, $26.97

4. Wool Coat

Don't keep throwing your North Face on over that gorgeous Christmas Eve dress. Look like a real live adult with a wool coat! You won't ruin your party look and you'll actually be warm.

Zara, $149

5. Tailored Pants

Not in the mood to shave your legs for every single holiday outing? I feel you, girl. Get yourself some party-worth pants that don't make you think of class presentations or summer jobs.

Gap, $69.95

6. Something Velvet

Throw on anything velvet and it's the holiday season for sure! A dress, a top, even velvet shoes will make you feel a little more festive.

ASOS, $38

7. Respectable Flats

You can't wear heels to everything. Your feet will hate you. Get yourself a pair of simple yet sophisticated flats to give your feet a break. They deserve it just as much as you do.

Target, $22.99

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.

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.
