12 Signs You've Been Home For Too Long
gifsec.com

Winter Break is nice and all, but now that Christmas is over, the boredom is starting to kick in. You know you've been at home for too long with nothing to do when...

1. Every social media app is thoroughly up to date.

You haven't missed a single Instagram post, you know what every person's doing on Facebook, and even your Pinterest boards are a little more refreshed.

2. You've worn the same "sweatpants and t-shirt" combo for the past two weeks.

You're not going anywhere... so why wash or change?

3. You've been through at least a whole season of a new show.

....or several seasons. Hey, it feels productive at least.

4. You've heard every detail of your family's life from the past few months.

Yes, Mom, I remember the story of when you went to Macy's and the cashier was a jerk.

5. You've started cleaning for fun.

The bathroom is spotless.

6. You've had to go and get fast food just for the lingering feeling of missing that freedom while at school.

Home-cooked meals are beyond amazing, but you're getting pretty tired of what's just in the house.

7. You've rediscovered all of your old hobbies from high school.

Painting old picture frames? Baking weird foods? Yeah, done, done.

8. You've gone out to the grocery store just to have exposure to people other than your family.

We need bread, right? We always need bread!

9. Your planner is pre-organized with no activities.

Shout out to your new color coding system... with nothing written in it.

10. Your DVR is basically at 0 percent.

Cleaning the house includes cleaning out the DVR.

11. You've decided to research the 13 different things you can change your major to.

But those internships....eh, not so much.

12. Your siblings are getting really tired of your same bad jokes.

OK, this is when I need my friends from school

While we all love being home.... it may be time to go back to school soon.

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.
