Five Things You Can Do To Stay Warm This Winter

Winter is finally here, and it’s terrible.

If you’re like me you may have found yourself seriously wondering if there’s a tauntaun wandering around that you could use to warm up, Skywalker-style.

Fortunately for me, I do not live on the ice-planet Hoth, as much as it sometimes feels like it. But unfortunately for me, it’s still really, REALLY cold.

So, here are five ways I’ve been coping with the cold, hopefully they’ll help you too.

1. Light all your finals study guides, assignments and papers on fire and huddle near it for warmth.

You don’t need them anymore anyway and haven’t they caused you enough pain?

2. Do lunges instead of walking.

The increased energy expense will heat your body up and your quads will look fantastic.

3. Imagine you are wearing Lenny Kravitz’s infamous giant scarf.

You will feel fabulous and warm.

4. Speaking of scarves, Instead of the blanket-scarf trend, try using a literal blanket as a scarf.

If anyone asks you about it, just say “thanks, I got it at Zara”. You will look and sound so hip.

And finally,

5. Think about how this year, in 2016, we had a record number of women elected to the US Senate, more dialogue than ever about climate change, racial and gender equality, AND thanks to this year, Giant Pandas are no longer considered extinct and the world has been graced with new musical stylings by Lin Manuel-Miranda.

it probably won’t help you with your physical warmth, but it will warm your heart.


Stay toasty, my friends.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
