10 Thoughts College Kids Have During Winter Break

A glimpse into the average college kid's thought process while home for winter break:

1. "Man, I really missed my family and friends from home."

No matter how much you love college, you can't deny the amazing feeling of being home with your family and high school friends.

2. "I should really start going to bed earlier..."

About a week into break, you probably realized that your sleep schedule was horribly messed up, but you also probably were too lazy to fix it.

3. "How many episodes of The Office can I get through today?"

Whether you chose to watch The Office or something a little more dramatic like Grey's Anatomy, I guarantee you found yourself thinking this same thing and succeeded in watching about 2 seasons per day.

4. "I guess I should go to the gym today..."

Or tomorrow, or the next day, and so on.... Let's face it, your goal of going to the gym everyday over break has probably turned into a goal of making it there at least once.

5. "Even though it's 2:30pm and I just woke up, I can't miss a meal, so cereal and a hoagie it is then!"

You wouldn't dare miss a meal at home. Each meal you eat at home brings you one step closer to going back to dining hall food, so you should enjoy food at home as much as you can.

6. "What day is it? Thursday... Saturday ... January?"

Christmas and New Years serve as great checkpoints to know what day it is... after that, Sunday might as well be Wednesday.

7. "What'll happen if I don't go back and stay home with my dog forever."

Or you could try and smuggle him/her back to school... your RA would never know!

8."Maybe I'll put pants on today and participate in society... nah, tomorrow sounds good."

If you haven't left your bed in 4 days, you're doing winter break correctly.

9. "Wow, I really miss my school friends."

Thank goodness iMessage and Facetime exist!

10. "I can't wait to go back."

Although life at home is pretty great, the end of break finds you severely missing your tiny dorm room, college friends, and the overall freedom of living on your own.

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.
