From drinks to scarves bigger than my bed.

HP1: Things That I Love During The Holiday Season
W-Dog

The holiday season means that things we can't necessarily get our hands on all year make a comeback, whether it be your favorite drink or sweater that you love so much that you actually consider wearing it in the summer. I have my own assortment of holiday "things" that I spend the rest of the year counting down to, and while most of them are very basic, it's important to remember that there is beauty in simplicity.

Blanket scarves

There's nothing better that wrapping yourself in a scarf that could be the comforter for your bed. Not only are they warm, but you look like one of those cool people that get to walk the streets of New York every day. You know, the ones that hate you when you visit there.

Hot chocolate

Nothing beats hot chocolate during a brutal winter. My taste buds get so sick of apple cider and pumpkin after a while, so that first hot chocolate of the season helps me evolve into the holiday-obsessed person that I am.

Pillsbury sugar cookies- with the picture, of course


Why does a picture of a Christmas tree make a cookie taste that much better? I don't know, but it does. If anyone has the science behind this, please fill me in.

Holiday socks

During the holiday season, it's almost a guarantee that I'm sporting festive socks inside of my shoes. I feel like I'm making a difference when I wear them during this celebratory time.

Winter candles from Bath and Body Works

Yes, I am one of those people that has a mild candle obsession. Okay, it might be on the verge of severe, but you can't go wrong with these candles. Marshmallow Fireside is my absolute favorite, with Marshmallow Peppermint right behind it.

Menchie's Frozen Yogurt seasonal flavors

Menchie's is delicious on its own, but throwing in some festive flavors takes it to a whole new level. Spiced Gingerbread Cookie literally tastes like Christmas. I'm patiently waiting to try the peppermint bark flavor.

BOOMCHICKAPOP's holiday flavors

Who knew popcorn could become a delicious dessert? I could eat an entire bag of this stuff in one sitting. And maybe I know this because I have.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
