It is so much fun, but everyone will get grouchy so be patient.

The Truth About Traveling With Your Friends
Carlye Washington

Over this Christmas break, I decided to drive 12 hours to Wisconsin from Mississippi. We wanted to go skiing, so we just decided to take a road trip. We stopped in St. Louis to take pictures with the arch then proceeded on to Wisconsin.

The drive was long. Not as long as you would think, but we were all tired by the end of it. We had all started getting a little grouchy. By the time we got there, we just wanted to order pizza and go to bed. We decided to play a card game too because why not? We did not have anything pressing for our time.

The first day we chose to explore the town we had decided to vacation to. We spent way more money on cheese than one probably should and got ready to cook dinner for ourselves. We decided to grill and have a family dinner then went to the hot tub.

The second day we decided to go snow tubing, and there is a good chance that one or more people will fly into the snow bank separating the tubing lanes. The skiing day was the most eventful. Four kids from Mississippi learning to ski should be a reality show. Two of us were really good at it and loved it. The other two of us were not so good at it. There was a young boy that ended up helping me maneuver the bunny slope because I couldn't do it myself.

A road trip with your friends will show you a little more of everyones personalities and you are most likely gonna learn something new about them no matter how much you already know. Someone will become the "mom" of the group, and everyone will have a great time. If you ever have the chance to travel with your friends, I 100% think you should.

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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
