12 Things College Students Will Be Able To Do Again Over Thanksgiving Break
Mountain Home

Well, my fellow college students, we have made it more than half way through this semester. Congratulations! Whether you have had a rough or easy semseter, I know that by this time most of you are ready to take a break from the college life and go back home. In honor of Thanksgiving break being right around the corner, here is a list of 12 things that college students will be able to do again over this much needed holiday break.

1. Seeing Your Family

Whether you haven't seen them since school started, or you saw them last weekend, being at home with your family is always a nice feeling.

2. Seeing Your Pets

They will be as excited (if not more excited) to see you as you are to see them.

3. Getting To Sleep In Your Own Bed

There's always something about coming back to home to your room and sleeping in your own bed that just feels right

4. Getting To Shower In Your Own Bathroom

No more community showers. THANK. GOD. Also, you get to sing in the shower and take as much time as you want without worrying about being judged by anyone.

5. Seeing Your Hometown Friends

Since most colleges are on break, you know what that means? Your friends are back in town too, and the squad hangouts can recommence.

6. Eating Home Cooked Meals

1. You can finally stop eating Ramen. 2. Your parents will probably think you haven't eaten in days. 3. Eat as much of the good food as you can, because unfortunately you'll have to leave it again soon.

7. Driving

You can finally drive yourself again. At first, you'll probably forget how to drive because you haven't driven in a while, but you'll get the hang of it again. Don't forget to jam to your favorite tunes and as always, drive safely.

8. Not Having Homework


No more studying! No more tests! No more stress! ...Well until we have to return back to college or unless your professors did assign you homework (you can add that to the list of things you aren't thankful for).

9. Sleeping In

That amazing moment when you don't have to set an alarm for the next morning.

10. Getting To Relax

Yeah, that's right. You finally get some time to relax. Read a book. Watch Netflix. Take a nap. This is your time.

11. Black Friday Shopping

Go get those sales. Treat yo' self. You've earned it.

12. Reflect On The Past Year

Now, what kind of Thanksgiving thread would this be if I didn't include an actual Thanksgiving activity in it... No, but in all seriousness, make sure you take some time to reflect about the past year and what you are truly thankful for. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
