15 Things That Are Guaranteed to Happen This Thanksgiving Break

How the next few days are going to look for you and the rest of us worn out college kids.

1. The idea of Thanksgiving break is appealing.

You get to go home for a few days and the promise of a feast has been getting you through these last few days of Ramen and drinking fountain water.

2. Wednesday classes are long and pointless.

Some schools give the week of Thanksgiving which is a beacon of light in your bum life. But most schools adhere to the three day class week, which is dumb because lets face it by Wednesday your doodling in your notebook and checking Buzzfeed while your professor lectures. They know you're not paying attention and frankly they don't want to be in either.


3. At least one professor will be a Thanksgiving hater and assign homework.

^This guy.. We hate you.


4. You will inevitably forget to pack something to go home.

Laptop, phone charger, acne cream? You were just too excited to get home, this is what stores are for.


5. Your parents will make you help set up or get ready for the festivities.

It's like they wait until the last minute just so they can make you bring down six extra chairs from the attic or vacuum the stairs.

6. You will have to put up with all of the questions from nosy family members.

So what if you're a two year super senior, its none of their business.

7. Thanksgiving dinner will last about 35 minutes and then you will be forced to help put away leftovers and clean dishes.

Just do it and smile at the fact that you don't have to eat frozen Lean Cuisines for three more days.


8. You'll spend the next three days sleeping off school, upcoming exams, and turkey comas.

You deserve this. It's been a hard semester.

9. And the next three nights drinking with the people you graduated high school with.

Everybody comes home for Thanksgiving take advantage of that time together by embarking on a three day Beer pong and Flippy cup tournament.


10. Your parents will start to get on your nerves by Saturday.

At college there are no rules for you. You don't have to make your bed or even get out of it. Don't worry Sunday is approaching fast.

11. Your mother will do all of your laundry and make turkey slop.

And suddenly you forget about having to make your bed for a few days.

12. You'll forget you have homework until about 5:30 Sunday evening.

You either don't do it or pull an all- nighter. Thanks for nothing Professor. Jackass.

13. Your mother will send you packing with a pile of leftovers.

You rejoice in the upcoming days of free food.


14. You'll leave way to late.

Oh it's 7? I should probably leave to partake in my four hour voyage home.

15. You realize Thanksgiving is a cruel joke.

Four grueling weeks left of the semester. Time to start planning for exams and group projects galore. Thanks for teasing me Thanksgiving, you beautiful bitch.

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.
