Milanote seems kind of cool. It's basically a plain whiteboard that you can place images, checklists, drawings, categories, and text on. You can also share the board with others, so maybe this could be another tool to use during virtual sessions?

I was planning to video call our Spanish SIL (who's also majoring in psych) once or twice during the break and teach them the basics of Python, an easy to learn but powerful programming language. It's very popular in the science fields for data analysis, research, and other things such as conducting custom visual experiments with patients. I'd say they'll most likely will be on a weekend. You're welcome to join us if you're interested, should be fun. :)

We won the Christmas door decorating contest at TCC this year! Everyone liked the lights and our gnome theme.

I realize that this is not the same thing as a real one. I hope that you get a decent rest though, that should help a little.

I missed out on this earlier today because of lunch and my class. Apparently they're going to have Switch games and a Christmas photo booth next week, but that's nowhere near as good. :(

Supposedly this recipe lets you enjoy Chick-fil-A peppermint shakes at home. Sounds like it would be accurate-ish?

Based on your story earlier, I think what I got will be really fitting for your mom. :)

Don't know if they talked about this in-person or not, but here's the history of the Nutcracker:

Mom found a new ornament at Walmart. It's not like we love our Spam or anyth-

And, of course, relaxing during the break!

Time to decorate! Here are some cheap ways of Christmasifying your dorm that don't rely on DBU traffic cones. :3

They got the year right, back in the writing center days! There's no forgetting the insanely cringey first "conversation" we had though. 😂

This "cookie" is actually pretty decent (and milk chocolate-free, just the way we like it).

Let's not forget the SI-specific one: creative!

23 weeks-free is awesome. Let's make it 46 weeks, one day at a time. :)

The nicest message a non-family member has ever sent to me 🥹💛. I hope your Thanksgiving was still great despite being sick. Hope you feel better soon!

I hope I broke up some of your isolation and boredom earlier today. Have a great Thanksgiving! 😊

I have mixed feelings about this. 😂
