Dear Hometown Best Friends,

In less than two weeks, we will all be home! I hope we are all able to hang out a couple times during this long break. If we are ever bored and can't think of anything to do, here is a list of 15 things that will keep us entertained!

1. Zoo Lights

2. Ice skating

Indoor or outdoors. Either way works.

3. Shopping

Go to a local mall or head to a big city or even an outlet mall to get those Christmas presents.

4. Eat at our favorite local restaurants

Because we are all at home, might as well eat at the places we can only eat at while in town.

5. Christmas movie night

6. Make Christmas cookies

Combine this with a Christmas movie night and we've got ourselves a Christmas party.

7. Paint

Paint canvases or mugs to be presents for each other.

8. Drive around, looking at Christmas lights

9. Winter photoshoot

We aren't all together very often, so let's capture these moments!

10. Attend a hockey game

11. Roadtrip

Head to the nearest big city for the day!

12. Host a white elephant or secret Santa

Cheap way to give each other gifts and have fun with it.

13. Celebrate the new year

Throw a party or just get together and celebrate 2018.

14. Concerts

Find a local band to go see or a big name if any are coming to town.

15. Go to a holiday parade

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?

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!)
