5 Things College Kids Do Over Thanksgiving Break

The much needed break is finally here, and we could not be more grateful. This time in the semester is when a break is much needed for us college students, and we all have similar things that we all know that we do when we are back at home.

1. TONS and TONS of Laundry

We all know that doing laundry alone at school is the biggest pain that we all try to avoid more than our homework. Plus it costs a million and one quarters just to get it all done, so why not wait until you come home and can do it for free? You will finally be able to wash the sweat pants you have re-worn one too many times, and you will get to go back to school with a stash of clean clothes, until winter break that is.



2. Prepare yourself for the millions of questions relatives will ask on Thanksgiving

Relatives on holidays absolutely love digging into the lives of the returned home college kids. Although there is nothing wrong with curiosity, we all know we must prepare to have answers to any possible question that we are asked, especially the "Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend yet" card. We prepare all week like a celebrity ready for an interview just so we can be able to answer any question that comes our way.


3. Eat all of your parents food

Lets face it, the best part about going home for break is getting to eat your moms home cooking and snacks they have around the house. A college kid's diet consists of a lot of fast, easy, and cheap food, and getting to come home and eat their mom's cooking is like a party in our mouths. And since we don't get to eat good food like this often, we chow down way more than usual, eating our parents out of everything they bought for the week.


4. Hibernate

Getting enough sleep while at school is something that just does not happen. Being able to come home and not have any classes or work to get up for is a blessing in itself. Over break, sleep is the #1 priority in our books. If we do not come out of our rooms until one pm, it is genuinely because were catching up on all the sleep we should have gotten on those Friday and Saturday nights.


5. Reunite with your old buds

Nothing is better than coming home for break knowing that you get to see your high school friends. Although everyone is away at school doing their thing, coming back together is pure happiness. Getting to talk about all the crazy things you have done at school, plus creating more memories along the way as you all enjoy your precious time together


So college students, enjoy your break, and most of all, enjoy doing these 6 things, I know I will!

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.
