There is not much that is more magical than NYC during Christmastime. While Rockefeller Center is a must, there are plenty of other places in NYC to celebrate the holiday season.

Bryant Park Winter Village

This is one of my FAVORITES. The Bryant Park Winter Village has a tree, an ice skating rink, and tons of little shops that have everything from food to every time of Christmas gift you could image. They have dozens of pop-up shops of your favorite brands as well as many local artisans.

Dyker Heights Christmas Lights

Dyker Heights in Brooklyn has the most incredible decorated houses EVER. Taking a trip down to this part of Brooklyn is totally worth it. The houses are decorated in ways you would never even think of decorating your own house. Parking is a pain, so plan to carpool!

Union Square Holiday Market

Union Square is great at all times during the year, but especially during the winter. While during the summer they often have farmer's markets in the park, there is a Christmas market in the winter. The stands have all kinds of goodies you can try and buy!

Grand Central Terminal Holiday Fair

If a NYC winter is too much for you, try visiting the Grand Central Terminal Holiday Fair. This market is indoors! You can browse through more than 40 artisans' unique work.

Have fun getting in the holiday spirit!

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
