10 Things You're Tired of Hearing This Holiday Season

It's no secret that the holidays are a time for families to congregate, eat, and celebrate the new year to come. With that being said, every teen and young adult can relate to the countless self-reflecting questions we are often asked. These questions are usually answered with the utmost diplomacy, yet what would happen if we answered them the way we actually wanted to? Someone do it, and let me know the result, but for now, let’s just all relate to the wonderful questions of this year’s holiday spectacular.


1. How’s school?

Oh it’s wonderful. You know, my statistics, economics and other super fun classes are just dandy. Living on a dream in some classes is really starting to pay off! (Not.)

2. Are you excited to be home?

No. I’d much rather be staying in my dorm, with three other people, who I love dearly, rather than on my cloud-like bed and a fully functioning washer and dryer.

3. Are you glad the semester is almost over?

Nope! Actually, I really do wish there wasn’t a break at all. An extra couple of weeks of super difficult courses is exactly what I want in my life.

4. What classes are you taking?

Oh you know… the ones that I’m enrolled in. If only I knew what was actually going on in them, I could give a much clearer answer.

5. Is it hard?

Nope! Super easy. Running straight A’s, being involved, maintaining leadership positions and engaging socially is really easy! Bring on more responsibility please!

6. What do you do for fun, while you’re away?

It’s in everyone at the table’s best interest if we save this for another time.

7. Did you miss me?

I did… until you just asked me that question.

8. What are your friends like?

Actually, I have none. Everyone is an alien with two heads, four arms and three legs. They’re completely different than anyone else you’ve ever met.

9. Any boys in your life?

There's only one! First name, Non. Last name, Existent.

10. How can you not have a boyfriend?


Hm… hold on, let me create a SurveyMonkey and find out the reasons, because I’m trying to find that answer, as well.

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.
