Go Ice Skating

I absolutely love ice skating! It not only makes for good exercise and pictures, but it is really fun to experience with friends. Check out your area for local indoor or outdoor ice rinks!

Bake Holiday Cookies

Every year, my friends from high school get together to bake Christmas cookies and watch Hallmark movies. It has become such a special tradition. Find some delicious cookie recipes, get baking, and share them with someone else!

Look at Christmas Lights

When it gets dark out, take a drive or walk around your town and neighborhood. Play some Christmas music and look for houses with cool light displays and decorations. Maybe even bring a cup of hot chocolate to enjoy...

Build a Gingerbread House

Hold a contest with your friends and family to see who can build the best gingerbread house! You could even create a village of houses. Who doesn't love candy?

Decorate a Tree

One of my favorite activities in December is decorating a Christmas tree with my sister. It is also fun to find old and new ornaments.

Watch Your Favorite Movies

There are so many good and classic Christmas movies out there. My personal favorite is "Elf," but I also enjoy "The Santa Claus," "Home Alone," "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," and "A Charlie Brown Christmas." Snuggle up with a blanket by a fireplace and relax.

Serve Your Community

A big aspect of Christmas is giving to others. Find a way to give back to your community by engaging in acts of service, such as distributing gifts at a children's home or donating to an organization. Giving to others brings so much joy and perspective.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

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

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.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
