10 Things You'll Realize You Missed About Home Over Break

1.) Your family.

Admit it, you miss them like crazy when you're at school, but sometimes you're too busy to check in with them regularly. When you're home, you realize how much you missed your crazy dysfunctional family and how lucky you are to have them to come home to.

2.) Your bed.


The additional memory foam pads and liners definitely make your college bed tolerable, maybe even nice, but there's nothing like coming home to your (not twin sized) comfortable bed.

3.) Your high school friends.


You've probably made a lot of really amazing friends in college that you'll miss when you're home for break, but it's so nice to be back with the people you grew up with for a change. Your high school friends have seen you through many highs and lows and being home for break will make you appreciate them even more.


4.) Your car.

While you're at school, not having a car might not be a huge deal, but when you get home and have the ability to drive around aimlessly in your car, you realize how much you missed it.


5.) Your mom's home cooked meals.

Dining hall food at most schools is decent, but nothing really compares to a home cooked meal, especially around the holidays.


6.) Your hometown.

When we're in high school, we're dying to leave our town and go explore the real world. However, once we get out into the real world we learn to appreciate where we came from. There's really no place like home.


7.) Your shower.


No shower shoes, need I say more?


8.) Your pets.

Think you missed your pets while away at school? Chances are they missed you even more. The week or so home for break will definitely be a tease though when you're forced to leave your furry best friend to go back to school.


9.) Your privacy.

As close as you may be with your roommates/suite mates, everyone can use some away time. Being back at home you'll realize just how nice it is to be in your OWN room without anyone bothering you.


10.) Your job.

Not working at school seems great until you get home and don't have money to spend on anything. Picking up a few shifts at your old job will have you rolling in the dough and never wanting to leave.

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.
