13 Things That Happen Over Winter Break
Her Campus

Winter break is supposed to be relaxing. You get to have a break from classes and all the work that comes along with them. However, there are some things that will you probably do or probably happened to you over break no matter where you are from.

1. Netflix Binging.

You probably will watch at least one entire series over break.


2. Gaining at least 5 pounds.

Between the holidays, and eating out of pure boredom you probably will gain a few.

3. Running into some one from high school you don't want to see.

Just look down and pretend you didn't seem them.

4. Catching up with old friends.

Nothing is better than catching up with your friends that didn't go away for college or the ones that go to a different school than you.

5. Missing your college friends.

You're college friends are the best. So of course you are going to miss being a five minute or less walk from them.

6. Hanging out with the family a lot.

Let's face it, mom and dad have really missed you.

7. Hanging out with the dog a lot.

Because you have missed him or her and they have missed you too.


8. Missing the social scene at college.

Weekends are a lot lamer in your hometown. Sigh.

9. Checking social media more often.

Hmm, I wonder what [insert name here] has been up too?


10. Going on a shopping spree.

All those gift cards you got for Christmas aren't going to spend themselves.

11. Living out of your landry basket or suitcase.

Why would you wanna unpack? You'll only be here for a month.


12. Avoiding checking you final grades or checking for them every five minutes.

You kind of know how you did already.

13. Sleeping in everyday.

Gotta catch up on all that missed sleep from last semester.

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.
