With the ending of Halloween, fall festivities come to a close. With the cold weather and midterms finishing up, here to raise your spirits and motivate you to push through the term is a list of four items covering everything you have to look forward to in the next two months!

1. Cold Weather Fun

Cold weather can seem daunting, but it’s perfect for showing off that new winter wardrobe or winter coat that you bought back in the spring! In addition, with those Black Friday Shopping deals, it also serves as an excuse for you to buy something new for yourself! Don’t forget about those holiday parades, Christmas village downtown, and outdoor ice skating rinks that make for an exciting night out with friends.

2. Let's talk food!

Holidays are right around the corner which means you soon get to stuff your belly with wonderful Thanksgiving home cooked food. In addition, that magical Christmas season brings forth every yummy treat imaginable from cute sugar cookies, to gingerbread men, to candy canes, and Santa-Claus-shaped chocolates! Bored of the pumpkin spice drinks? Not to worry, get ready for peppermint flavored everything! (Plus the cold weather gives you the excuse to not leave the comfort of your own bed and order in!)

3. Movie releases!

With chilly temperatures outside, everyone wants to stay inside resulting in a wide array of movie releases! Grab a friend, reserve your tickets and enjoy a break from reality with the following fantasy flicks. Get ready for “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2” release out on November 20th and a month later is the much-anticipated “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” release!

4. The Holiday Season!

With the holiday season comes those much-needed days off of school! You’ll finally have time to catch up with those friends you haven’t seen since mid-terms started. You even get the chance to go home to see your family and see your friends from high school. Christmas music will be playing on the radio, holiday lights and decorations will spice up your town, and with the season of giving comes shopping and presents! Lastly, when you tire of Netflix, ABC’s “25 Days of Christmas” will be on to raise your mood!

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.
