10 Reason Why Winter is the Best Season

Winter is the coolest season of all. See what I did there?

Ready or not, winter is coming. Here are 10 things to look forward too.

1. Winter involves being cozy

Blankets, baggy sweatpants and sweatshirts make winter oh so comfy.

2. Hot Chocolate and Tea

Though hot chocolate and tea are great any time of the year, there is something about drinking a warm beverage in the colder months. I myself am a massive fan of both! For a new twist, try a caramel or vanilla steamer at your local coffee shop (you are welcome).

3. Sports!

Skiing, hockey, and even basketball come around in the winter months (and bobsled/skeleton). Even if you are not one to participate in these sports, there is plenty of them to watch on TV!

4. Starbucks Red Cups

Ok, come on you knew I was going to put this in here.

5. Snow!

Snow is the best for a plethora of reasons! It involves lots of fun activities from snowball fights, to building snowmen, to sledding.

6. The Holidays

Whatever holiday you celebrate, its a great time to spend time with family and to have a good time!

7. Thanksgiving and New Years

Who does not love to eat everything ever and to stay up late? I know I love too.

8. Fireplaces and bonfires!

Though fireplaces and bonfires are great in the summer, in the winter they are even better! The warmth is a lovely break from the cold. Not to mention, s'mores. The dream team.

9. Movies

Holiday movies from "Elf" to "Home Alone," holiday movies never get old.

10. Mindset of giving

The winter season breeds the actions and feelings of giving. Giving back does not have to stop in the holiday season. It can continue year round!

Hopefully I convinced you! If not, grab a blanket, stack wood in the fire place, grab a hot chocolate, and put on a movie! I bet it is wonderful.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
