The holidays are a time where people from near and far gather in one place to catch up and celebrate. With this comes the issues of traveling, so here are a few tips for you if you are one of those travelers this season!

Pack for all kinds of weather.

You never really know what you're going to run into, so if you're driving make sure you have extra coats and layers in case of a break down. If you're flying make sure you pack as much as possible to stay comfy and safe during your travels!

Make a plan.

Having a planned itinerary for your trip will make it go much smoother. While being spontaneous can be fun, with a plan it is easier to move around mishaps and issues.

Pack early.

Pack your suitcase and bags early, that way you know you have everything and you aren't running around last minute trying to get it all together. It never fails that last minute packing always results in forgetting something.


Confirm reservations.

No one wants to show up for their relaxing weekend away and find out that they really don't have that room or flight booked that they thought they did. Avoid this by confirming with your hotel and tickets that you are set and ready to go!

Have a check-list.

Be sure to make a list of everything that needs done before you leave, as well as when you return. That way you don't forget to have the post office hold the mail, or turn off the water. And you also don't forget to get the dog when you get back!

Most importantly, HAVE FUN!

Enjoy your break, your time away and relax. Appreciate the company of those around you and remember how blessed you are to have them and the opportunities you do.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
