Every college kid loves coming home for weekends, or even on random days. But the best is when everyone comes home from school and you get to reunite with all your friends, family and people you haven't seen since August. It's truly amazing to rekindle old friendships, catch up with family and sleep in. Seeing your whole squad from high school, and party/hang out with them again is incredible because you get to see how they've changed and you get to hear all about their college experiences so far!

1. Coming Home

Hands down the best part. Seeing all of your old high school friends, all of your siblings, parents and family members. It's truly the best time to come home because Thanksgiving brings your WHOLE family together, so you really get to see everyone and catch up with old friends and family.

2. FOOD!!

Coming home and having a home cooked meal is the best thing, but throw a Thanksgiving feast on top of that, and every college kid is beyond happy. For a couple days there's no more dining hall food and no more easy mac.

3. Sleeeeep

Sleeping in over Thanksgiving break is the most relaxing thing. It doesn't get better than waking up in your own bed, whenever you want to- not for a class. Honestly it's okay to sleep until 1pm over break, totally acceptable. WE UNDERSTAND.

4. Rekindling Old Friendships

Seeing all your friends from high school, catching up and hearing all about their college experience is so incredible. Just months ago, you knew everything about these people but now it's time to learn about all of their new friends, classes and just about their life these past four months!

5. Driving!!

For the people that don't have a car on campus, you understand being behind the wheel for the first time since forever. Even if you have your car on campus, just being home in your car is so different from at school. You know every back road and every short cut- it's good to be back!

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.
