Hi Friends,

Thank you all for the amazing responses to part one of the "10 Things To Do Before Christmas" article. Without further ado, I give you part two. Here are ten more things you and your loved ones can do together, before Christmas!

Part One: "10 Things To Do Before Christmas"

1. Buy an ugly Christmas Sweater

Wear it around proudly while searching for the perfect gift or checking off your Christmas to-do's.

2. Drive around and look at Christmas Lights

3. Host or Attend a Christmas Party


The holidays are the most fun when friends and family are around. Throw a dinner or holiday game party to get everyone in the Christmas spirit.

4. Make Gingerbread Pancakes


Here's a recipe that sounds too delicious not to make! http://www.cookingclassy.com/gingerbread-pancakes/

5. Try Eggnog

Who knows, maybe you'll like it!

6. Decorate a Gingerbread House


I checked this off my holiday list last week. I'm proud to say that my gingerbread house actually stayed together!! The sides are rather unique since I decorated it with a four year old, but at least it didn't fall apart!

7. Go Sledding

This was my favorite thing to do when I was growing up. I don't care what others say- you can never be too old for sledding! Don't forget to bring a few friends along!

8. Enjoy a Candy Cane

I recently tried candy cane flavored hot chocolate and oh my is it tasty! Check out this cool post showing you how to make different candy cane flavored treats https://www.brit.co/candy-cane-recipes/

9. Make Popcorn Garland

Grab a needle, some popcorn and get stringing! Your tree will look even more fabulous after.

10. Take a family Photo

I mean.....who says they have to be traditional.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
