Festive Ways To Embrace The Holiday Spirit Here In Cleveland!

Hello, my fellow Clevelanders! The snow has landed and we know it won't be leaving soon. But I want to challenge you to not let the snow kill your spirit and enjoy the many amazing parts of Cleveland in the winter. So put on NSYNC's "Home For Christmas" and read along, creating your own list of ways to take in Christmas this year in Cleveland.

Catch a Show at Playhouse Square

One of my favorite traditions that many elementary schools started was enjoying a Christmas performance at Playhouse! Through the next three weeks, there are multiple shows to catch. From "A Christmas Story" to "A Christmas Carol," you can come enjoy the amazing talent right downtown.

Send Out Christmas Cards

I know this is not really something that Millennials like to do you know the whole purchase stamps, hand write a card or put things in the mail. We prefer to shop online and receive! But imagine how happy your grandma is going to be when she gets your card ?! So just spend an evening on Pinterest researching some ideas for addressing. I like to use tutorials for fonts and go to town.

But what can you do when it's TOO BAD to go outside?

Put On Some Hallmark Christmas Movie Invite Friends and Family Over Bake Cookies

As much as I love to go out and explore the city, there is something ultimately refreshing by having a cozy night in. So just invite some friends over, preheat the oven and enjoy the company of the people who are already in your life that make it so great. This is sure to keep your from remembering the snow is coming down like crazy.

Have A Girls Night In and Pamper Yourself

Due to the wonderful cold, our skin is going to so much drier. This is the perfect time to treat your skin with additional attention to your skin. Why not have each person bring one item to make an at home sugar scrub and follow that with a rich lotion. You could make extra to take home in small mason jars to use all season long.

I hope that you found an idea that you will enjoy with your loved ones this holiday season. Don't let the snow freeze your heart. Enjoy some company from your friends and the wonderful baked good of the season.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
