Go enjoy yourself this holiday season, the right way. These seven attractions will have you thrilled for Christmas.

Macy's Light Show

This is free of cost and runs daily until December 31. It begins at 12, 2, 4, 6, and 8 pm.

Dilworth Park Ice Skating

https://centercityphila.org/parks/dilworth-park/winter

This is such a fun attraction that stays open through the winter and closes during the end of February, it is only a $5 admission fee ($3 for children) and you are free to bring your own skates, but if you are like me and need to rent them they have them available for $10.

Christmas Village

http://www.philachristmas.com

This is a cool scene to walk through and see all of the different items for sale and maybe buy some unique gifts for family and friends, it is open from now until January 1.

Peddler's Village

Madyson Thompson

It opened back in early November and it stays open until January 4. The best part is that going is free of cost, but of course they have photos with Santa and different stores and restaurants that do have a price tag.

Shady Brook Farm Light Show

https://shadybrookfarm.com/event/holiday-light-show-4/2018-11-17/

This one is unique and fun, they are open nightly until January 5 and they charge $30 a carload, so pack your friends in because if you have 6 people that's only $5 each!

The Comcast Center Light Show

https://www.visitphilly.com/things-to-do/events/the-comcast-holiday-spectacular/

This is again free of cost and runs on the hour from 10am-8pm every day until January 1. A fun experience for the family.

River Rinks Winterfest

https://www.delawareriverwaterfront.com/places/blue-cross-riverrink-winterfest

Another opportunity to ice skate and this one stays open until March 8. They also have a few cabins with food vendors, games and even fire pits. You can even choose to rent a private heating cabin for your group. The admission cost is just $4 and then to rent skates is an additional $10, but feel free to bring your own! They open at 1 pm on weekdays and at 11am on weekends.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
