We all love having a good time over the weekend but it seems like we are all spending more money on things these days. What ever happened to just hanging out with your friends and not opening up your wallet every single time? Here are a few things that you can enjoy with the ones your close to without having to drain that grocery money!

1. Go to the park

Take a walk around your local park with friends or your pupper or even have a picnic. Just get out there and enjoy that good ol' vitamin D!

2. Explore your town

Instead of staying inside all day, explore your town and maybe even find a cool new spot to hang out. The world is your oyster!

3. Have a photo shoot

Up your Instagram game and have a photo shoot around town or maybe in one of the places you explored when you did #2!

4. Bake!

Baking always helps me de-stress,so maybe it can help you too. As an added bonus, you get to eat some sweet ass treats and the end of it!

5. Movie Night

Grab your besties and binge a bunch of movies, but don't forget to go to the Dollar Tree and get those snacks!

6. Have Ice Cream by the Lake

Or any snack really, just have a chill night at the lake.

7. Go Thrift Shopping

You might find some hidden treasures...or you might find nothing, but that's the fun of thrift shopping.

8. S'mores by the campfire

Nothing says summertime like making s'mores by the fire.

9. Karaoke night

Belt it out sis!!

10. Have a self care day!

It's all about you! Treat yo' self and recharge your batteries!

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
