1. Miracle on 34th street

If you love the holidays, you'll love Miracle on 34th Street. The lights are like no other. Some of the lights are Maryland themed, others are makeshift decorations made out of things like hubcaps. It is so much fun to take pictures with your family and friends. It is a great experience to enjoy the holiday spirit that a street in Baltimore offers each year.

700 W 34th St, Baltimore, MD 21211

2. Pandora's Ice Rink at the Inner Harbor

The ice rink is opening on November 9th this year. $10 if you have your own skates and $14 if you need rentals, and then you are free to skate on the outdoor rink. It is so cool to skate around in the city. And if you are like me and cannot skate, its okay it is fun to watch others skate and enjoy the festivities around the area.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
