Reasons Why Holidays Are The Best
bienvenidos

List of Reasons Why Holidays are the Best:

1. You get to spend time with family. There is nothing better than family time during the holidays where you can catch up on the latest family drama. Most teens miss their families when coming back from school.

2. You get to spend time with friends. You get to catch up with your old high school friends that you missed so dearly in college. There’s nothing like catching up with friends.

3. There’s no school, therefore, you can do whatever you want. Its time to relax.

4. There is so much food you can eat. Every holiday is a feast for my family.

5. There are presents. Everyone loves getting presents for the holidays.

6. Better than getting presents is buying presents for your friends on the holidays. Secret Santa’s are always fun.

7. It’s a good to celebrate with your loved one.

8. It’s a great time to cook. Cooking your favorite meal with family and friends is the best time of year.

9. It’s a great time to travel. Whether its traveling in the country or going abroad some place, you know you are going to have a great time. You get to meet all kinds of people when traveling abroad and you get to see all kinds of things. Remember to travel safely.

10. It’s a great time to catch up on episodes of your favorite TV show. You can spend the rest of your days in bed catching up.

11. It’s a great time to catch up on your reading. If there’s a new book, get ready to cuddle up in bed and read this holiday.

12. It’s a good time for hot coca and coffee, but then again, so is anytime of year.

13. It’s a good time to get new clothes. Its time to look fashionable in those Christmas sweaters.

14. It’s a good time to go skiing and skateboarding. Its always fun to hang outside.

15. It’s a good time to go to holiday parties and celebrate.

16. It’s a good time to give holiday cards and baskets to people. Those are always the best.

17. It’s a good time to give back on the holidays. It’s always nice to give to others and you’ll feel good about yourself after you do it.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
