The holiday season is truly the most wonderful time of the year! It is so cozy to look outside your window and see snowflakes falling, christmas lights glowing and just having the Christmas spirit in the air. Just because you are in college doesn't mean you can't go all out with Christmas decorations. Walking by the dorms at college, I have become inspired with so many winter-wonderland dorm decorating ideas! Here are just a few of the endless Christmas dorm decorating possibilities:

1. Wrap the door with festive wrapping paper. This will show people that even from the outside, your dorm is full of Christmas spirit.

2. Get a mini tree with lights for the window. Pine trees in your house is a signature Christmas decoration. So why not bring a tree to your home away from home?

3. Hang colorful or white lights on the window.

4. Listen to Christmas music with friends.

5. Hang stockings on the door. Hopefully Santa will visit!!

6. On a quiet day, cut out some snowflakes with friends. It is a great way to laugh over the failed snowflakes, but eventually end up with some beautiful results!

7. Bring Christmas themed pillows. A stuffed Santa or red, blue and green pillows for your bed or desk chair will add a lot of Christmas cheer.

8. Advent calendars. Don't pass up those childhood memories and bring an advent calendar to count down the days until Christmas!

9. Go out an buy gingerbread house kits and spend a day with friends decorating your gingerbread houses and eating lots of candy!

10. Break out the old Christmas movie classics and cuddle up with a warm cup of hot chocolate. There is no better way to spend a snowy winter day than with hot chocolate and a Christmas movie. There is always one on TV during this time of the year, so there is never a need to rent one.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
