11 Signs You Are Buddy the Elf

1. You crave holiday treats (no matter who made them).

Candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup. Those are your four main food groups. You love holiday sweets, and you do not care who makes them. As long as you are sitting with some hot chocolate, a slice of pie, and side of candy canes, you're as jolly as Buddy.

2. Singing is the way you show Christmas cheer.

Whether you have a voice similar to Adele or one similar to a reindeer's cry, you spread the happiest of Christmas cheer by singing loud for everyone to hear (whether they want to or not). Maybe you even go caroling.

3. You binge-watch holiday movies all Christmas break.

You go straight home after finals and immediately begin watching holiday movies (especially "Elf"). You even go to the VCR for some movies (if you don't know what that is, bless you). You probably know every line to "Elf," "The Grinch," and even "Frosty the Snowman."

4. You've perfected "watching your mouth" around family.

From parents to grandparents to aunts to cousins, you have perfected not cussing when at home. You go from free rein(deer) to the North Pole in the best of ways. You even come up with other sayings or acronyms to avoid those dangerous words.

5. You come home with holiday adventures with old friends.

You haven't seen your friends from home in months, so you are the ones who make all the cute holiday plans. Going to see Christmas lights, building snowmen, and decorating are your favorite things to do with your friends. You even write them down in your Etch A Sketch (or planner).

6. You're the master behind sneaking food early.

Instead of waiting on extra Santa cookies or waiting for grandma to cut the ham, you dig in. You don't mind being the taste-tester for the rest of the family. You're also definitely the sneaky midnight cookie and milk thief.


7. When you finally get the opportunity to drink with friends, you chug.

You've gone a week or so without drinking, and finally, you get the opportunity to see old friends. So, obviously you forget your limits and begin chugging. That leads to a looooooooong burp (or something completely worse—but let's hope for the best).

8. Surprisingly, you didn't completely bomb your finals.

You are so excited when those final grades are put online. You want to immediately celebrate, so you go to your favorite place (coffee shop with the best cup of coffee of course) to grab a Christmas blend. Congratulations, you passed!

9. You run in to every. single. person. ever. at every. single. place. you visit at home.

Even the awkward people you never really spoke to, yet they wave at you at Kroger at 2:17 p.m. Then your mom starts asking questions about them and you honestly can't tell her anything about that person. But, hey, it's the holidays and you are so excited for Christmas that you happily wave back.

10. Christmas Eve is everything.

You know Santa is literally coming in like five hours. Your'e so excited you have to tell everyone and anyone that will listen. Santa is indeed coming tonight, and you've already put out the cookies and milk (but you've eaten a few before).

11. New Year's Eve & Day are coming soon, too.

The holiday isn't over at Christmas for you. You know how to celebrate a new year, too. New Years' resolutions and a new semester are your favorite things—besides smiling and singing, of course.

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.
