12 Things To Do When All Your Friends Go Home For The Holidays
E! News

The Holiday Season is here and if you're like me and any other college student with a job, you have to stay in your college town a few extra days during the Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks (or maybe even stay for all of it). But nonetheless, we are here, we are adults, and we are thriving. Here are a few things to do when you're stuck in your college town when most of your friends go home for the Holidays.

1. Go to the movies.

There are so many good movies out right now from Horror to War Thrillers. Going to the movies alone might seem intimidating but it's actually a lot of fun!

2. Pick up extra shifts at work.

With everyone leaving someone is bound to need you to cover their shift. Take as many as possible because more money to treat yo'self.

3. Clean your room.

Trust me, you will appreciate coming home to a clean apartment.

4. Clean your bathroom.

Refer to No. 3, thank me later.

5. Clean out your pantry.

With the Holidays coming up every local food pantry/church is doing a food drive. Clear out your pantry of all the food you know you're not going to eat and give it to those who will appreciate it!

6. Take a drive down a back road.

Tallahassee is basically on the FL/GA line. If you're around here, take Thomasville Road and keep going straight. Dress up and take a cute pic for Insta.

7. Go to the gym.

No one is there to judge you, no more excuses.

8. Get crafty.

Paint a canvas, paint a cooler, paint your letters, paint a wall, paint your dog, paint everything.

9. Binge watch a movie/Netflix series.

Helloooo Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas

10. Get a jump start on final exam reviews.

Four cumulative exams? That's not for another few weeks, yeah I'll be fine...

11. Enjoy the emptiness of campus.

The weather is gorgeous. Sit outside the library and study to your hearts content.

12. Pack.

Because we all just want to go home, man.

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.
