Tips for the Holiday Season

As you all know (hopefully) Christmas is right around the corner. It's "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." With that being said, I have some things you should keep in mind this holiday season. Everyone has their reasons for the season so whatever that may be, remember that. Christmas is a wonderful holiday where we get together with our family and celebrate whatever it is we celebrate. If you're a fan of the holiday season, cherish the time with your family. Forget about the drama in your life, don't worry about how next semester is going to go, and if you're off work, don't think about it. You're getting older, your family is getting older, and at some point you will be starting your own Christmas traditions with your scrumptious little family...(if and when Prince Charming comes out of hiding). If you already have him, GO YOU!! But anyways, celebrate and enjoy every single second of this holiday season. Be thankful you and your loved ones have made it this far. Some people wish their loved ones could be with them during these times. Talk to your family and learn about family history or tell them things you would like to do when you grow up. Most likely they will be so proud of you and all of your accomplishments.

If you're not a fan of the holiday season, don't be a Grinch. Nobody likes people who kill their vibe. Fake it 'til ya make it! But really, the holidays are fun. Especially in my family. We're all sassy and beat up on each other (in a playful way, of course). At least try to have fun. You never know, the holidays may become one of your favorite times of the year! If not, it only lasts about two days depending on which day you celebrate. Make the best of it!

I truly hope, whether you're a a fan or a Grinch, that you have a blessed Christmas. Cherish the moments, enjoy the times you get to spend with your family. You are luckier than you know.

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.

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.
