7 Signs that You're Home For Winter Break
Jeff DJevdet

Finals are over and its time to go home for winter break. Winter break means you have a month to relax from school. No matter what your plans are for the break; here is seven signs that you are home:

1. Finish a Netflix series in a few days.

It doesn't take you long to watch a whole tv season on Netflix. That is because you spend all night or all day watching the show instead of socializing with your family or friends.

2. Constantly answering questions about your love life.

All though your family asked you during Thanksgiving Break if you were seeing someone, they still ask you again when you are home for the winter. It almost seems like they are tired of you being single or trying to tell you that something is wrong with you with for being single still.

3. Noticing that you don't have a lot of friends at home.

When you are home for the break you realize that you don't have many friends here compared to at school. You realize that you outgrew all of your high school friends because every single one of you are at different points in your life.

4. Realizing all the hours you need to work.

Seeing how much your textbooks are going to cost next semester, you realize that you need to work a lot of hours to be able to afford them. Also, you realize that you need money during the break to enjoy going out with your friends.

5. The excitement you get for a home cooked meal.

You realized that you get a full month a home cooked meals instead of eating the school's food all time. You also realize that during the time of being home and having home cooked meals almost every day that you will not want to leave the home cooked meals.

6. Spending most of your days doing nothing.

You spend all day sleeping in and staying up late every night. The few hours that you are up for during the day, you notice that just lay in your bed. Also, that you never really leave your room unless it is time to get food or if you are going out to see your friends.

7. Counting down the days until you get to go back to school.

You love being home, but you are counting down the days until you are reunited with your friends at school. You miss just being able to walk down the hall or just walk to their home and hang with them. Now during the month that you are home, you can only communicate with them through social media or by making plans to travel to see them. Just knowing that you only have a month apart, still feels like a lifetime apart from each other.

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.
