The 3 Best Things About Coming Home From College

Everyone loves college. It's college. There are movies, television series, books, magazine articles and more, all centered around how great it is. Adults are constantly reminding us that it's the best time of our lives. However, no matter how much you do or don't love your school, sometimes it's nice to be back home where it all began. So if you're sad about leaving your friends to return home for spring break or just need a little reminder of why you should venture home every once in awhile, here are 3 great things about going home from college:

The Food.

Oh gosh, home cooked meals. Who doesn't love a home cooked meal? All college students know the pain of dining hall food. The food is good. It's ok. But it's just never quite as good as your favorite home cooked meal from your mom or dad. Aside from the home cooked meals, nothing is better than getting out of your college and getting to visit your favorite local restaurants and grocery stores that you've been missing while away at college.

The Sleep.

You've been missing your bed so much, and this is finally your time to reunite. No matter how cozy you've made your dorm room or your new apartment bed, nothing compares to the feeling of your bed at home. There are no classes to get to at 8 a.m. and you're completely free of schedules. You're finally free to sleep the day away or just catch up on Netflix in bed, at least until your mom makes you enter the real world.

The Family.

Last, but of course not least, family. You miss them. Regardless of their nagging questions about your relationship status or how your classes are going, being able to sit and just spend time with your family and to tell them about what's going on in your life is a great break from all of the craziness of school. They always care what's going on and are there to listen to all of the good and the bad that's going on in your life.

So never forget, there's no place like home.

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.
