10 Things To Be Thankful For This Thanksgiving Break
Friends

I'm not sure about everyone else, but I'm counting down the hours until my Tuesday night, when I can finally head home for Thanksgiving break. There are so many obviously wonderful things about Thanksgiving break that I've decided to compile the top ten things every college student should be thankful for this week...


1. Seeing your family.

There is nothing I'm looking forward to more this week than getting to see my parents and my siblings. They're the most annoying wonderful people in my life, and offer a nice change of pace when it comes to reasons I want to pull my hair out.


2. No class for a week.

This one is so beautifully obvious, and doesn't really need a caption.


3. REAL. FOOD.

Einstein Bagels, I'm over you, and so is everyone else on campus.


4. Getting the squad back together.

Did someone say girls' night?


5. Getting to ignore your email for a week.

Or pretty much anything involving responsibility.


6. Being able to sleep as much as you want.

Oh, it's only 11:37 a.m.? Back to bed.


7. Binge watching as much as your heart desires.

What do you mean there are no more episodes of "Scandal" to watch?


8. Black Friday.

I accept my shopping addiction, and am more than willing to torture myself for the ability to save twenty dollars at Sephora (just don't be that guy that goes at 8 p.m. on Thursday).


9. Laundry.

I'm sure I'm not the only one bringing three bags of laundry home, saving myself the pain of the university's infamous cotton-eating dryers.


10. Christmas is just around the corner.

At least we know that once we are forced back here in a few days, it's only two weeks until our blissful month off for winter break. I can taste the tinsel.


Whatever it is you are thankful for this break, embrace it as much as possible because finals. are. coming...

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
