December Bucket List

The last month of the year is already here! It’s a crazy time with finals coming up and the holiday season in full swing, but there are so many fun things to do. Here is a bucket list for the month of December for when you need a break from the chaos.


1. Go see some Christmas lights

Many towns and cities have holiday light shows and beautiful displays for people to see.

2. Go ice skating

I might fall on the ground more than I'll be on my feet, but that's half the fun, right?

3. Go on a sleigh ride

I always see pictures of horse-drawn carriages driving through the streets or snow. Wouldn't it be cool to experience it in real life?

4. Do a holiday-themed 5K run

Get out in the cold for some fresh air and exercise. Many runners dress up in holiday apparel and a lot of local races give out fun holiday prizes.

5. Bake Christmas cookies

Who doesn't love warm, homemade cookies?

6. Christmas movie marathon

There are so many great holiday classics, so why not watch as many as you can to get in the holiday spirit?

7. Have a photo shoot with friends

Take a break from studying to take fun pictures with your friends, family, or pets.

8. Make a bonfire

Warm up and relax by a big fire (and bring some marshmallows, too).

9. Make a holiday playlist

Get in the spirit by compiling your favorite Christmas songs into one giant playlist.

10. Have brunch with friends

Catch up with old friends or get to know new friends better over a cozy brunch.

11. Read a book

Take a break from the craziness to read a good book while you have the time.

12. Make homemade apple cider

Cook this traditional winter beverage in a crock pot to fill the house with the sweet smell of fresh apples.

13. Go Christmas shopping at non-traditional places

Get away from the chaos of the malls and outlets & shop at some smaller local businesses.

14. Write a holiday card for someone

It's the holiday season - do something nice for somebody.

15. PEPPERMINT

It's my favorite flavor of any holiday, so take advantage of ALL of it.

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.
