Holiday Cheer

The holiday season is finally upon us!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! It truly is. Thanksgiving is in a couple of days, college football is beginning to make predictions about a championship, Christmas songs are starting to make their way out of the shadows and, well, Christmas decorations have already been out since September, so that's no surprise.

This is the time of year when we should all be thankful for what we have. We should be thankful for our friends and family because they bring us so much joy to our lives. They are always there when we need them and are always our No. 1 supporters!

The life that we were given should also be another thing we should be thankful for. We should not take our life for granted because I bet that we are all living in pretty high standards compared to other people from around the world.

We should be thankful that we have Christmas decorations and music. We all know that we can get a little annoyed with them by the time Christmas is finally here, but people from around the world do not experience the same thing as we do. Some might not even know what Christmas is.

Our holiday spirit should be bouncing off the walls. It's finally the time of year where snow falls and people are happy all the time and we can all give thanks and be happy with one another. This is a special time of year because it brings out the best in people, which is a great thing to see.

This holiday season, make sure that you are making the best out of it and make sure that you are spreading the holiday cheer to every single person that you come into contact with.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

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?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
