These Are A Few of Our Favorite Things
Humane Pursuits

We all have our favorite parts of Christmas, so I asked a few people what their favorite parts were, here they are!

Food

From Christmas dinners to cookies and loads of chocolates, there is always great food around the holidays. Not only is the food good but the experience of making cookies is always a fun activity as well!


Decorating

Lights! Lights! Lights! There is always plenty of decorations; exterior illumination and decorating the tree are two types of my favorite decorations.


Spending Time with Family

Naturally, this must be included. What I think is best about this one is that so much counts for family, whatever family you will be spending the holidays with I hope it is a merry time!


Christmas Carols

Christmas carols are so unique, this holiday has its own genre of music. There are happy, sad, serious, funny, religious and secular Christmas songs that all have their own charm and appeal to them.


Snow Activities

Sledding, snowboarding, skiing, ice skating, snowball fights and loads more. Snow combined with cold, allows us to do so much outside during winter.


Bringing Cheer to All

There are so many ways to accomplish this. It may be a simple holiday phrase or being one of Santa’s helpers. But it’s always nice to give and receive cheer this time of year

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
