3 Thoughts We All Have the First Week Back From Break.

Anyone in college has been there, that sweet month or so of school we have off between the fall and spring semesters. As soon as it starts to feel normal again that we're home with nothing to do, we have to go back and mentally prepare for another semester. As a college student myself I'd say I have some serious insight about how we feel when this time of the year rolls around. So here's 5 of the most common things we think about that first week back at school after winter break...

1. Why am I here?

We're all guilty of saying it. Especially in that first class back in session after winter break. Most likely we just hung around our house with nothing to do all day, so trying to figure out why we have to sit in classes all day can seriously be a hard adjustment.

2. I miss my mom's cooking.

College food sucks almost 100% of the time. So after being home for like a month eating two or three meals a day cooked by your mom it's a hard transition back to eating caf food or ramen everyday. When you compare your moms home cooked meal to some of the cardboard they try to serve in the school caf's hands down we'd all choose our moms meal.

3. I miss my bed.

Anyone in college also knows that dorm beds stink. No matter how many fluffy blankets, pillows, or mattress pads we put on they still don't compare to our own bed in our own bedroom back home. A good nights sleep is hard to come by, so of course the first week back after break we especially miss our own bed.

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.
