I love everything about the Christmas season, but one of my favorite parts is definitely all the awesome movies that I watch year after year. I actually haven’t gotten to watch any of these yet this year, so that’s definitely something I’m going to hit hard in the next few days! These are my top …

Stuff I just wanted to show you guys…
Can we just talk about this? Let’s just discuss the coolest thing that’s about to happen next month. I LOVE Ingrid Michaelson. She is so talented and her music is right up my alley. Big applause for this one, Hope College. You are too good to me. The Angel of Lower Wacker Drive (via the Chicago …
Hello, Snow… I’m going to need more than just the Michigan Mitten
Being an Iowa girl, attending college in Michigan already makes me smitten with the mitten, but with all of this cold and snow, it’s going to take some serious supplies to endure the winter.

Assignments and other commitments fill up your plate already so it just doesn’t seem feasible to add another activity into the mix. Well, that was how …
Rain, Rain, Go Away… at least until I get to class
When we arrived back on campus (most of us on Tuesday night), we arrived to cold, rainy weather and the heaters turned on — leaving us with warm and cozy dorms. In fact, my dorm room was a little too warm and cozy for comfort, and my roommate and I reopened the windows and cranked …
