It's that time of year again. The air gets colder and the days get shorter, but that shouldn't stop you and your S.O. from enjoying yourselves. Here are 11 dates to go on this year to make the season a little brighter.

1. Ice skating

Time to bundle up and lace up those old skates. Even if neither one of you can skate it will be a fun opportunity and bonding experience for the both of you. ( plus think of the cute picture ops)

2. Building a gingerbread house

Gingerbread house kits are all over the shelves in your local store, pick one up and let the fun begin. Even the least artistic couple can have a little fun creating a house that is all their own.

3. Christmas lights

Don't have much money to spend, because of all the gifts you bought one another? (; All this one requires is both of you to hop in a vehicle and take a look around for some Christmas lights! ( and a little bit of gas)

4. Christmas tree farm

What is Christmas without a Christmas tree? Sadness.

5. Decorate for Christmas


Well, now that you've got the Christmas tree, you can both decorate it. Turn on some holiday tunes and let the tinsel fly!

6. Hot chocolate and a movie

Who says all dates require having to go out? Stay in and make yourselves a hot cup of hot chocolate and watch some Christmas movies.

7. Christmas shopping


I'm sure you both have some Christmas shopping to do, why not do it together?

8. Making ugly Christmas sweaters

Grab all the art supplies you can carry and have at it. During this time of year there has to be at least one party to go to and typically the ugliest sweater wins.

9. Build a snowman

This obviously won't work for everyone since it doesn't snow everywhere, but for where it does snow.

10. Baking/decorating cookies

They might not turn out as the perfect "instagrammable" cookies, but you'll have fun and improve your baking skills.

11. Spending time with family and friends


While you should spend time together this is the perfect time of year to get to know each others family and friends. Stay involved with activities going on within your family and get a group of friends together for a holiday party.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
