Decorate With Us
Meg Hayes

I love decorating for the seasons, and thankfully my two best friends share in my excitement! In my mind Christmas is what you make of it. It can be a hard holiday for some, whether that be because of the loss of loved one or the loss of job or maybe even loss of hope for a brighter future. Decorating with nothing but bright and happy items is one way that I handle my emotions during this season which has been hard with out my Grandpa here who passed away a year ago. If you are in the same boat or dealing with ANYTHING that just brings you down...Take a breathe and this holiday season...Go outside. Go around your neighborhoods and admire the lights or yard ornaments. Find that house that just goes WAY OVERBOARD with yard decorations and just take it in. Give yourself a break. You're only human! God sent his son Jesus to be born of a virgin Mary to be savior of the world. Guys...THAT'S AWESOME! Kind of insane and may be hard to accept because really it's impossible right? But with God, he can do it. He's got this guys. Come with my friends and I as we decorate the apartment for the season!!

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
