After being away for a few months at school, nothing sounds more amazing than a weekend home. 48 hours that don’t include dining hall food or shower shoes sounds like the perfect mini-vacation. And while you absolutely may love everything about school, nothing can truly beat the comfort of your own home and everything that comes along with it.

Here are some of the most infamous things every student does when they go home...

1. Eat anything and everything you can find in your house.

Running to the pantry to fill up on all your favorite snacks because you haven't had real food in what feels like years.


2. Hope that your favorite meal you asked your mom to make is what you're having for dinner that night.

Because you can’t bear the thought of eating another salad from the dining hall.


3. Sleep in your own bed and realize how much you missed it.

Let's be real, that your bed at school cannot even compare.


4. Take the longest shower ever.

Because you just have to take advantage of not wearing shower shoes and having endless hot water!


5. Get your nails/hair/eyebrows done.

Trusting people to do any of these at school could potentially turn into a disaster.


6. Drive around aimlessly.

Even though you’ve become the worst driver since you haven’t seen or touched the steering wheel of a car for a few months.


7. Snap story your hometown geotag.

Obviously, you have to let everyone know that you are home.


8. Text your boss to see if there are any open shifts.

Because you’re a broke college student and will do anything to make a quick buck.


9. Neglect any school work you were potentially going to do.

Being at home means relaxing and relaxing ONLY.


10. Spend quality time with your family.


Because you actually do miss your dad’s jokes and your sister bugging you.


11. Ask your mom to do your laundry for you.

She undoubtedly says yes, thank god.


12. Obsess over being home

But so excited to go back on Sunday night.

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.
