26 Things You Do When You Go Home For The Holidays

It's the most wonderful time of the year. No, not the holidays - Winter Break. A full 2-3 weeks (or a full month if you're lucky) of lounging on the couch, watching too many movies and eating too much food. In between decorating the tree, devouring nut-roll, or lighting the menorah, these are the things you do when you return home for Winter Break:

1. You set-up camp in the comfiest spot on the couch.

2. You take an entire camera roll's worth of pictures of your dog.

3. You raid your pantry.

4. You open your fridge and shed tears of happiness.

5. You eat several servings with no shame.

6. You watch all of the random DVDs your family owns.

7. You realize that your next-door neighbor got really hot.

8. You hope that you also got really hot.

9. You hang out with your high school friends.

10. You reminisce about the fun things you did in high school.

11. You regret all of the people you dated in high school.

12. You assure yourself that you definitely do NOT live in the past.

13. You post on Instagram so people at school know that you have friends at home.

14. You go on a gift-shopping frenzy because you didn't have any time while you were away at school.

15. You ask your mom to make all of your favorite meals.

16. You consider reaching out to your ex.

17. You wonder why you ever thought that was a good idea.

18. You miss your college friends.

19. You realize it's only been three days.

20. You miss them anyway.

21. You Snapchat literally every thing you do.

22. You sleep so much that it worries your parents.

23. You binge-watch an entire series on Netflix.

24. You actually read a book. For fun.

25. You avoid eye contact from every person you recognize at the grocery store.

26. And then, you eat some more food.

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.
