10 Ways To Bring Christmas Spirit To Your Dorm
https://newyorksightseeingtours.wordpress.com
It's the most wonderful time of the year! December is here, the Christmas music has begun playing and candy cane flavored everything is hitting the shelves. Just because you're in college doesn't mean you have to miss out on all the festivities leading up to Christmas. Here are some fun ways you and your friends can bring the Christmas joy right to your dorm room!


1. Decorate your door.


There are plenty of ways to decorate your door, like wrapping it completely in wrapping paper or putting Christmas themed stickers and bows on it. Not only will you have the best door on your floor but you also bring Christmas joy to the hallways.


2. Make homemade Christmas decorations.


It's a great bonding experience and you can get creative. You can go simple and create things like paper snowflakes and cut out snowmen or you can go all out and decorate your own wreath to hang up in your dorm.


3. Get a mini Christmas tree for your dorm.

Of course you have to check with your school's rules to see if it's allowed first. If you're in the clear there are tons of places you can go and get mini trees, real or fake. After you find a nice spot for your tree in your dorm, decorate and light it up!


4. Christmas lights.


Let there be light! You can never have too many Christmas lights. To be safe use command strips or any other form of decoration hanging that isn't going to damage your walls so you don't get in trouble or fined. And for your safety and everyone else's make sure you unplug all the lights whenever the room is going to be empty.


5. Decorate gingerbread houses.


Stores like Target and Walmart sell inexpensive gingerbread house kits. You and your friends can get together and see who can create the best one.


6. Organize a Secret Santa.

To do secret Santa you get all your friends who are interested together. You set a price range and an exchange day for the gifts. Everyone writes their name and puts it into a hat, then everyone picks out a name. You buy a gift for whoever you get and on exchange day everyone finds out who their secret Santa was and walks away with a gift!


7. Christmas movie marathons.


Networks like Freeform love to do Christmas movie countdowns. Each day they play a different selection of Christmas movies to get people excited for the holidays. Check your tv guide and see when your favorite movies are coming on, get some snacks and hot chocolate, get cozy and enjoy the movies with your friends.


8. College Christmas cards.


Christmas cards with your friends are so fun and my favorite thing to do during the holiday season. Make or find a nice backdrop then snap a fun picture of you and your friends donning your best Christmas apparel. It’s a great memory to have and something super cute to show your family while you’re on Winter break.


9. Bake Christmas themed goods.


You can find inexpensive Christmas themed cookie cutters in the shapes on sites like Amazon or Michaels. They have many different shapes to choose from like Gingerbread men, Christmas trees and snowmen. Once you have your goods baked you can decorate them icing and little candy like M&Ms.


10. Go caroling around your hall/campus.


Last but not least who doesn’t LOVE Christmas music! Get a group of friends together and go around belting out your favorite Christmas songs around hall or campus. It’s fun to do and you get to spread the Christmas cheer to others

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.

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.

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.
