10 Phases Of Reuniting With Your Best Friends Over Break

Ahh the long awaited winter break… finally the end of semester is here! Only thing left to do is pack a bag and make the trek home. Of course the most exciting thing about the holiday break is reuniting with those you missed. My little puppy was so wound up when I got home and seeing my family made it feel more like Christmas time, but the best part was seeing my best friends.

If you're lucky, you and your best friends share a campus, but either way, you'be probably been waiting all semester to see someone. Here are the 10 phases my besties and I went through once we were all home again.

1) The anticipation!

Almost couldn’t believe the day had come but then I was the first home and had to wait and wait and wait!

2) Extreme frustration

Why are there still so many things keeping us apart! Dang snow and ice come back after we're snuggled up watching our favorite movies!

3)Texting each other nonstop

Even though I know they're still in finals, packing, or driving back I'll be blowing up their phones till they're back with me.

4) Showing up unexpectedly at each other's houses

It's after midnight but they just got home and I just can't help myself!

5) Extreme joy all over the place

You wouldn't believe that with all the time we spend on the phone together that there would be so much to hash out…

7) Falling into old traditions

Mexican food and movie reruns

8) Making the most of the time we have together

That feeling where you just don't want them to leave your side because all too soon there will be hundreds of miles between you.

9) Therapy sessions for days

There's so much to give and get advice on but just not enough time, but our conversations pick up right where they leave off each time so that helps.

10) Holiday gift exchange

Since it is that time of year we get a pass on spoiling each other (even though we’re both broke)

Ultimately the saying is true this is the best time of year!

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.
