21 Things That Happen When You Go Back Home For Winter Break

Let's be honest, you're probably going to sleep and watch Netflix for the entirety of winter break.

21 Things That Happen When You Go Back Home For Winter Break

1. You’ll get to go home and sleep in your own bed, and it’s the best sleep you’ve had in months.

2. You’ll finally get to hug your mom after four months.

3. And then you get to immediately hug your dog afterwards.

4. You’ll be reunited with your best friend, and it’ll be like you never left each other’s side.

5. And you’ll probably go back to high school to watch a Christmas concert and support your friends that are still stuck in that hell hole.

6. But you’ll get to see your favorite teacher and that will make the whole experience OK.

7. And someone that you went to high school with will probably hit on you at the concert.

8. At some point, you’ll definitely run into your old crush, and you'll strut past them like the goddamn goddess you are.

9. However, you’ll also run into your old nemesis in the grocery store, causing you to turn down every aisle in order to avoid them.

10. You’ll get together with your old friends and they will immediately say, “Oh my God, I missed you so much!”

11. And one of them will inevitably go on and on about how many people that they’ve slept with.

12. While another one will go on and on about the one time they got drunk off of a beer and a half at their first college party.

13. And you’ll realize that you didn’t actually miss some of them at all.

14. And you’ll sit in your old hangout spot, listening to your friends, and realize that you miss your friends from college (and hope that they miss you, too).

15. You’ll spend Christmas with your relatives, and every single one of them will ask how college is and what you’re majoring in and if you're still single.

16. You’ll wake up on Christmas Day and pray that you have a ton of money (and also a ton of socks) in your stocking.

17. Eventually, the day will come where you have to go back to college, and you’ll feel bittersweet about it.

18. On one hand, you’re going to miss your friends and family.

19. But, on the other hand, you’re super excited to see your roommate(s) again and have a ton of dance parties.

20. And then, of course, you realize that the next semester is starting up as soon as you get back to your dorm, and you die a little bit inside.

21. But at least you have your roommate(s) to help you get through school until spring break.

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.
