During Christmas Break, a lot of college students (including myself) tend to get lazy and only want to sleep all day. However, there is plenty for you to do over Christmas Break. Here are 10 things that you can do over break if you need any ideas.

1. Spend Time with Friends

This will give you time to catch up with them and see how their experience in college is different from yours. You can also talk about the good days or even the bad days in high school.

2. See a New Movie that is Out

Most of the best films are released during the holiday season (like the new Star Wars). It is a great time to go see new movies because you have a lot of free time.

3. Have a Christmas Party/Go to a Christmas Party

This is the time to spread holiday cheer with friends or family while having fun with those special people in your life.

4. Spend Time with Family

You haven't seen them in like a month or so, so why wouldn't you spend time with them?! This gives you and your family time to talk about things that you have missed when you weren't there.

5. Exercise

Start your new year resolution a few weeks early by exercising regularly during the break. This will keep you healthy and happy during break. Also the Christmas dinner food won't affect you as much if you already are exercising.

6. Bake Christmas Desserts

Doing this will get you in the holiday spirit. Bake cookies, cakes, or pies. Your house will be filled with a delicious aroma of great desserts. Also, this will be a great thing to do on your cheat days.

7. Look at Your Schedule for Next Semester

This will get you familiar with your classes and your professors. It will help you be ready to kill next semester with great grades as well.

8. Go Christmas Caroling with Family and Friends

By caroling with your family and friends, you will spread cheer to strangers who might actually need the holiday cheer.

9. Go See Christmas Lights

This is a great thing to do! You get to see other people's yards filled with amazing light displays. Or other people who go overboard when it comes lights, but its still very cool to see.

10. Volunteer at Shelters or Soup Kitchens

Serving your community is a very good thing to do over your Christmas Break. You will be spreading cheer to those less fortunate than you. Also, you will give them great joy by doing this great deed.

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.
