15 Experiences During Christmas Break, As Told By "Gilmore Girls"

Every family is different during the holidays, but here are some things that might be the same.

15 Experiences During Christmas Break, As Told By "Gilmore Girls"
Vox

If you're a college student like me- it's likely that you've been away at school for the past four months. With Christmas coming up soon, you're traveling home or already there. Here's fifteen things you may experience while home for the holidays, à la Gilmore Girls.

1. Going home and being able to spend time with your family. Especially your mom.


2. When you’ve been home for an hour and you’ve already talked too much that your family is telling you to go back to school and stop annoying them.


3. Being lazy while you’re at home and have no class-related responsibilities.


4. Watching Netflix and eating junk food.


5. Getting annoyed when your family interrupts your binge-watching.


6. Enjoying spending half the day in bed, doing nothing at all.


7. Laying in bed, thinking about all of the awkward things that happen to you at school, past, present, and future.


8. Sassing your family a bit with your clothing choices. Usually PJs every day, because why try when you’re just sitting around at home?


9. But on the other hand, trying to look halfway decent when you leave the house because you know there’s a 95% chance you’ll see people from high school at the grocery store.


10. Rethinking your caffeine intake, since you don’t have to pull all-nighters to finish homework and get up early for classes.


11. Because you’re not sitting around for the ENTIRE break, you have to go to work eventually, but the people there are annoying you.


12. Going back to your bed with more snacks and junk food because you didn’t do as well as you’d hoped in that hard class you took.


13. Feeling burnt out by the past semester (or the past five).


14. Dreading the Monday that you have to go back to school.


15. Then you remember that you graduate in 5 months. AHHH.

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.
