Christmas is on its way!

And we could all use a little holiday cheer.

So if you're looking to curl up with your S.O. on a cold, snowy night in the most festive way possible, here are few date night ideas:

1. Christmas Movie Marathon

Home Alone, Elf, A Christmas Story...there are so many classics!

2. Ice Skating

Check out your local free skate or turn up the festive feels by taking it to an outdoor rink.

3. Baking

Baking Christmas treats together not only makes for a great date but yields some of the season's best desserts. Bonus points if you turn it into a baking contest!

4. Christmas Shopping

Helping each other select the perfect gifts for friends and family is a great way to spend an afternoon. Plus, it may help you find ideas for each other.

5. Light-Seeing

With Christmas jams on the radio, a night time drive to see the neighborhood lights is the perfect way to get in the holiday spirit.

6. Deck the Halls

Decorating the house brings Christmas cheer right to your front door!

7. Wrapping Gifts

Who says wrapping has to be the worst part of gift giving? When you do it together it's guaranteed to go from a tedious chore to a fun, festive activity.

8. Hot Chocolate at Starbucks

Hot chocolate is a hallmark of Christmas, and to take it to the next level drink it from Starbuck's Holiday cup while cuddling up in front of the fireplace.

9. Decorate A Christmas Tree

A tried and true tradition that will certainly get you and your S.O. feeling jolly.

10. Volunteering

Tis' the season of giving, so be sure to give back to your community too! By volunteering you will get to spend time together while making the season brighter for those in need.

11. $10 Gift Challenge

This is a challenge for all of us college students on a budget! Head to you local mall with $10 in hand and set a timer for 30 minutes. The pair of you then have to go and select a gift for one another that stays within your budget. It's a fun, silly way to show each other you care.

12. Visit Your Town's Tree Lighting

Being a part of your town's traditional tree lighting is the perfect holiday date night.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
