Top 10 on My Winter Bucket List!

The purpose of this article is pretty self-explanatory. I'm sure most of you would love to have ideas to add onto your own winter bucket list, so here are mine!

1. Making Homemade Hot Chocolate - I recently went to a party where there were three, yes THREE, different kinds of homemade hot chocolate. Yum!

2. Go Sledding - This is a no-brainer. I live in Michigan, and it's a staple for us. The older we've gotten the more adventurous we are. ;)

3. Winter Fmovie marathon! - That's right. You heard me correctly. I'm talking an all-day event full of your favorite Christmas movies. White Christmas, Elf, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Santa Clause...go hog wild with the movies. Pop some super buttery popcorn, turn on your heated blanket, and get cozy!

4. Go See the Lights - In my hometown we have a huge display of Christmas lights held every year at the fairgrounds, and it's always been one of my favorite things to do during this time of year. They tend to have all of the same lights, but to me that doesn't matter. We cruise through the fairgrounds with our heat blasted and Christmas music playing in the background as we oooooh and aaaaah.

5. Sign Christmas Cards - I may be weird, but I love filling out cards for my friends and family. Yes, I typically end up with ink on the side of my hand and a terrible ache in my wrist, but it's worth it!

6. Decorate the house! - I love decorating for every holiday, and during Christmastime is one of my favorites. I grew up celebrating Christmas, and I celebrate Yule as well! It's always a festive time. :)

7. Have a craft bonanza - There is something about the winter that makes me want to whip out my crocheting and/or knitting and have a field day with it!

8. Make crockpot meals - I tend to cook more in the crockpot during the winter. There is a deliciousness to a nice hot meal when you get home from work; cheeks rosy from the bitter cold outside your door.

9. Do a lot of baking - Obviously I'm thinking about food..or maybe not so obviously. Anyway, baking is probably one of my favorite Wintertime things to do!

10. Spend an enormous amount of time with family - This is last because to me this is my favorite. I'm extremely family-oriented, and the greatest gift I've ever received is the presence of my family and closest friends. They're my entire world. ♥

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
