Four walk ideas for the holiday season

One of my favorite ways to get active is by going on walks. With gyms closed and the weather getting colder, it can be hard to find ways to get my daily steps in. Luckily, I found a few ways to motivate myself to get out of the house

Four walk ideas for the holiday season
1. Walk to your favorite coffee shop

The Starbucks I go to is about a mile from my house, and recently I have been walking there to get my morning coffee. Not only is it a great way to start my day, but the hot drink keeps me warm on the way home, AND I get to try out all the holiday drinks while appreciating this season's red cups.

2. Go on a walking tour of the lights

Instead of driving around the neighborhood near you that has extravagant light displays bundle up in your hat and gloves and get moving! Walking around will give you more time to appreciate the scenery.

3. Get some extra steps while Christmas shopping

Become a mall walker as you run errands to get gifts for this holiday season! This is a good walk for days when it is just too cold or rainy to get outdoors because you get to stay inside! Take a few extra laps around the mall, or walk the long way to the store.

4. Park in the back of the lot

A quick and easy way to get a few extra steps in is parking farther away from the store. While it's only a short addition, these brief walks can really add up, and an added bonus is that it's easier to find parking!

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
