If you want the real truth, I have never been with someone during the holidays. I have not had to buy a special gift for anyone. So my wallet is more full, which is a good thing. But I am wondering if there is any other part to my life that could also be more full.

There is part of me that wants to jump into a relationship during this holiday season and then there is a part of me that just wants to do nothing. Nothing as in watching Netflix all day every day, yes I said it. So yes, it would be nice to share the holidays with someone special someday.

Its not that I am opposed to having a relationship with someone during this joyous season, but I just want to get to know them first. I am in no rush to figure out my whole life right now. It would be nice to take things slow with the right person by doing fun holiday activities like driving around seeing Christmas lights or decorating ginger bread houses (Hey Bae, start taking notes for next year).

The holidays should be a special time to spend with family. But it can get hard with family sometimes because they are all coupled up for the most part (Congrats Lyss & Ry Ry). So it does make me wonder what having a relationship during this time would be like. Would it make me happy? Would I be fulfilled? I guess I will eventually know these answers at some point in my life, just not right now and that is okay.

But in the meantime, I am just going to enjoy the holiday season with my friends and family. They are all very special to me in their own way, I do not have favorites. I love them with all equally. I love them with of my heart and I cannot wait to love somebody else with all of my heart someday!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
