I wasn't nearly as productive as I planned...

33 Things We All Actually Did Over Winter Break
Gennesa Panainte
  1. Sleep an unnecessary amount
  2. Decide to take a nap to help pass all the free time I have
  3. Stay up hours past midnight for no justifiable reason
  4. Start watching multiple different TV shows and binge-watch Netflix… obviously
  5. Forget about my “get ahead for next semester plan,” even though I have plenty of time for it
  6. Re-watch all the Tasty videos I could find on YouTube and try to make the recipes myself
  7. Re-watch old Saturday Night Live skits and wish I was funny
  8. Create new Spotify playlists and dance around my house
  9. Wander around the house looking for something to do
  10. Clean the refrigerator and do the dishes after coming to the conclusion that they won’t clean themselves, and I have nothing else to do
  11. Text my dad for help when I realize I’ve loaded the dishwasher before, but never actually started it
  12. Sit in a car for 20 hours on the way to and from the Christmas family reunion and listen to same downloaded playlist on repeat because I've gone over my data limit for the past two months and can't use Spotify
  13. Participate in a very competitive game of Family Feud that did not end very well
  14. Decide to make 2017 the year I get “healthy”
  15. Immediately regret the decision to get “healthy” because I remembered how much I love junk food
  16. Get ready to go on a run before remembering it’s below freezing outside
  17. Try to make “healthy” chocolate chip cookies and ending up with what looks like a pile of poop because apparently that coconut oil the recipe called for can't be replaced with butter
  18. Slowly clean my room over a period of two weeks
  19. Begin looking for a reason to get out of the house
  20. Get a facial and walk out with skin worse than what I went in with
  21. Aimlessly drive around town and waste gas
  22. Talk to the nice people at Best Buy Mobile to try to figure out why I've gone over my data limit for the past two months (Hint: I thought we had more data than we actually do)
  23. Waste more gas and drive around town to run errands for everyone else in my family when I realize I have nothing better to do
  24. Get lost in a high school I didn’t go to while trying to give my asthmatic brother his inhaler that he forgot to bring to swim practice
  25. Begin to regret looking for a reason to get out of the house after remembering how cold winter can actually be
  26. Shop for things I don’t need, both in-store and online
  27. Realize I need to think practically and start by ordering next semester’s textbooks online
  28. Document my boredom on Snapchat for all to see
  29. Strategize on how I can get onto Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night Hashtags segment of The Tonight Show because he is #amazing
  30. Tweet random things because I’ve become delusional and think I’m somewhat funny
  31. Begin a countdown to when I have to go back to school because going back to class will give me something to do
  32. Meet up with friends I haven’t seen since fall break and make sure they know I’m glad I have them in my life
  33. Spend time with my family because I missed them a lot while I was away at school and hate the idea of leaving them in a week

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
