Just A Few Reasons Why I Love Winter So Much.

Winter is my favorite season ever. I love the feeling of having my family around and the happiness that surrounds us. I love sledding and running in the snow and making snowmen. I love snow (not brown or yellow snow) and everything else that comes with winter!

Hot Chocolate

I love curling up on the couch under a fuzzy blanket and drinking hot chocolate. I love the little marshmallows and whipped cream sitting on the top of my favorite pig mug.

Snow

What isn’t awesome about snow! There’s snow ball fights, snow angels, snow men, and snow forts and it’s so pretty and white when it first falls. When snow falls, that means ski season is upon us!!

Ice Hockey

This is the season where I can watch as many hockey games as I want! I can play pick-up games on a frozen pond or just skate around with friends.

Christmas Movies

I love watching Christmas movies, especially National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and crying over the families being reunited.

Decorations

I love looking at all the lights covering houses in the neighborhoods and a blow up Santa on everyone’s lawns. The Christmas tree hanging with millions of ornaments and stockings hanging over the fireplace.

Christmas Tree

In my family we go to a Christmas tree farm to cut down the tree with the family and our dog. We take a while trying to find the perfect tree and when we finally find it, my dad chops it down and we drag it back to the car.

Food

Throughout the whole month of December, my mom buys us chocolate and an advent calendar. On Christmas day, my mom makes a ham and a bunch of other delicious sides. So basically I eat the best food of my life during this month.

Luckily we still have a few more months left of winter!!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
