The semester is finally over and it's time to get LIT. One of my favorite things to do over the holiday season is to look at all the pretty Christmas lights, and Arkansas sure doesn't disappoint. I've put together a list of the best places to see the lights in Arkansas, how many will you visit before the break is over?


Sherwood Forest

Sherwood Forest Enchanted Trail of Lights is a drive-thru light showing open every night 6-9:30 p.m. Admission is free but non-perishable food items are welcome. Sherwood, AR.

Garvan Woodland Gardens

Garvan Woodland Gardens offers 17 acres of an animated holiday display nightly from 5-9 p.m. Children up to five years old get in free, ages 6-12 will cost $5, for adults it's $15. Enjoy a complimentary hot chocolate at the end of your tour. Hot Springs, AR.

Lights of the Ozarks

Each year the Fayetteville Square is lit up with over 400,000 lights and is incredibly romantic. The kids can sit on Santa's lap and pet his reindeer, and you can enjoy carriage rides and hot chocolate. Fayetteville, AR.

Enchanted Land of Lights and Legends

Arkansas' largest drive-thru light display offers 1.3 miles of magic and over 250 displays. Admission is free and donations are welcome, for $25 you can purchase a Christmas Star that will be lit and displayed in the park "In Honor Of" a person or organization you choose. Pine Bluff, AR.


Arkansas State Capitol

Whether you've lived in Arkansas your whole life or it's your temporary home, the lights at the capitol should be on your bucket list of light shows. Aside from the firework show that goes along with the initial lighting of the capitol there isn't much to it other than seeing our capitol beautifully lit. Little Rock, AR.

Hodo's Christmas Light Show

You can catch this awesome light show that is synchronized with a radio station you can tune into, for free, from 5-10 p.m. Sunday - Thursday and 5-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Van Buren, AR.

Downtown Paris

Take a day trip over to Paris to see the sparking lights or join in on the Tour of Homes or Dinner on the Square. I hear there's also a pretty, lit up replica of the Eiffel Tower. Paris, AR.

White River Wonderland

This is the place to be if you're looking for ice skating, carriage rides, and a light show. Located right beside the White River in Batesville, AR.

Downtown Eureka Springs

Eureka Springs is an adorable town to begin with, but during the holidays it's an extra special sight. Take a walk down the main strip and see twinkling lights everywhere. Eureka Springs, AR.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
