Best Things About Winter Break

1) We're finally home!Usus

Finals are over! Plus we get to see our family and spend some time away from school. It's always nice to spend quality time with family in a more, relaxed setting and for a longer period of time. School is the last thing that we think about and it's refreshing to not have anything to worry about!

2) Family and Friends

For me, seeing family and friends is one of the best parts of break! It's nice to be able to catch up without worrying about deadlines and tests!

3) Vacation!

Usually, my family and I go somewhere during winter break. I love that almost everyone has a vacation period scheduled in and it makes it easier to go somewhere nice and have fun!

4) The Festive Atmosphere

The holiday spirit is amplified to the max! Tons of light displays, holiday festivals, spirited events are always a joy. Everyone's in a good mood and radiate warmth in the cold times. The holidays are just a joyful time that creates beautiful memories. It's an infectious atmosphere that makes everything just a little better.

5) Good Food

I'm super excited for the amazing food during break. I miss my mom's home cooked food and being able to eat with my family is one the things I miss. The hot, home cooked meal makes the cold, bleak days a thousand times better!

6) Christmas and New Year's!

I don't really celebrate Christmas, but I love that I still get presents! It's a lot of fun and plus Christmas decorations are super cute! New Year's is also an amazing time! It always makes me wonder how fast the years are going by!

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
