As winter break comes to a close, everyone is so excited to go back to college. We will be able to see our friends and get back into the swing of things, but there are a lot of things that college students are not looking forward to going back to...

1. Home Cooked Food

There is absolutely nothing better than your parents home cooked food. Whether it's a good steak or real fruit and vegetables. Dining hall food really stinks and no one wants to go back to eating it daily.


2. Your Own Bed


Your bed at home is the comfiest thing and you can always fall asleep so quickly in it. Also going from a little twin bed to a bigger and more comfortable bed at home makes going home so much better. RIP to sleeping soundly.

3. Family

Going home and hanging out with your family after not seeing them for so long makes your heart so happy. Seeing your parents, siblings, cousins, aunts/uncles, and grandparents make you realize how much you miss them when you're away at college.


4. Friends From Home

Seeing your friends from home brings back so many memories from high school and growing up. There is nothing better than catching up with your friends about all the crazy college memories you have made throughout the semester. And spending a few weeks with them at home makes it even easier to miss them when you're gone.

5. No Class and Homework

Although college is designed to give us all an education, but classes and homework can get really annoying. So going home is just that much sweeter without work to do. Take advantage of all the time you can spend on the couch eating as many snacks as possible.

6. TV

At college we can only watch TV or Netflix on our tiny little TVs or laptops, so going home is very nice being able to watch your show on a big TV. Also having DVR at home means being able to watch your favorite shows whenever you want to.

7. Your Own Shower

No shower shoes!!!! College bathrooms are not the cleanest or the nicest and having to shower with shoes on is a huge pain. Therefore, coming home makes you realize how much you miss your own bathroom.

8. Pets

College makes you really miss your pets. There is nothing better than cuddling with your dog or cat.

9. Driving

Being able to drive anywhere at anytime is so nice. Being at college for so long makes you miss driving. When you're home you can take advantage of every late night ice cream run. You'll actually want to do all of the little errands that your mom or dad needs you to do.

10. Privacy

Living with a roommate makes you really miss having your own room. So going home lets enjoy of all the quiet time you can get.

There is really no place like home.

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.
