Welcome home.

11 Signs You're Home For Break In Pike County, Missouri
Macie Crane

You are now entering Pike County.


Good to have you back!

1. You hear all about everyone and what everyone has been doing while you were gone.

It's funny to hear when you're no longer involved in it. Well...

2. You hear the latest gossip on yourself that you missed while you were gone.

You find out so much!

3. You see those people out and about that you wish you didn't have to.

You know, like exes and the girls you didn't care too much for in high school.

4. You try to order pizza from Louisiana's Pizza Hut, but find out it shut down a month ago.

Then you have to drive to Bowling Green.

5. Your schedule is crammed because every second you aren't with family, you're with old friends.

You've all got to catch up over a good ole' road trip.

6. While you were gone, you could talk to ten guys and avoid the headache. But when you're home it's nearly impossible to keep up with all 10.

So, consider yourself lucky if you saw the person you've been keeping in touch with while they were away at college.

7. Road trips just aren't the same over winter break.

When the dust turns into a slush, the road trip is just not as fun.

8. All your family asks how your semester went, so you lie straight to their face.

"How was school?"

*Smiles on the outside, cries on the inside*

9. Your room may have been taken over by your sibling.

For instance, I brought all my stuff home just to find out that I had been kicked out of my own room by my little sister.

10. It really sinks in just how much everything has changed.

In the time that you were gone, so much as changed, not only in your life, but those who stayed back home. Everyone's growing up. Some are getting married. Some work full-time. You realize you can't really take a break from reality.

11. You can't use your fake ID at Next Door or Southside.

You aren't in your college town anymore. Everyone in Pike County knows exactly who you are, who your parents' are, how old you are, what street you live on, and your first dog's name.

Welcome home.

XO and best wishes,

Ashley Rose Corbin

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.
