The Holiday season is upon us! Snow is beginning to fall and finals are on their way. Add some cheer to your dorm room with some holiday décor! Here's seven ways to get festive!

1. A Christmas carol turned finals funny

Just remind yourself that after finals you get a whole month off! You can do it!

2. Stockings

My suitemate made these adoorable (pun intended) stockings for our door! And she added the trees above too!

3. Window/glass gel clings

These little guys are awesome! Not only are they reusable but you can put them on windows or your mirrors like we did! Target has some for only a dollar!

4. Wrapping paper

Time to bust out the wrapping paper! You'll need it to wrap those awesome gifts you got for your friends so why not put the extra to use! Wrap your door with it and make it look like your door is a giant present!

5. Get crafty!

Now if you'll really creative, art major perhaps?? You could get crafty! I've seen some rad holiday doors, like reindeer stables or this snowman!

6. Add a tree!

If you have a little tree at home, bring it up! It's small enough to fit in your dorm and can make it feel a little like home while you study for finals and wait for break!

7. Christmas lights

If you don't already have lights around your room, now's the perfect time to hang them up! My roommate and I have white lights up and they're perfect for a seasonal mood and awesome when we want a little light through the night

If all else fails, waste some time on Pinterest. I know you already do ;) Happy Holidays!

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.
