Stylez Now

Going home for college breaks seems like a fairy tale— you have your bed, your favorite restaurants, and the love and care of your parents. When you come home from college, you will definitely experience these incredible and indescribable feelings.

1. When you take your last final exam

There is no better feeling than when you drop your pencil on your last exam and know you will be home in just a few short hours.

2. When the long ride is almost over and you start recognizing the area you're in

You get those happy butterflies in your stomach when you pass by your favorite stores and friends houses, anxiously waiting to pull into your driveway!

3. When you have your own room again

You have the freedom to walk around naked and dance like nobody is watching without the fear of someone seeing.

4. You don't have to wear shower shoes

You can actually get in the shower without the fear of rubbing up against the gross wall or accidentally touching a toe to the infested floor.

5. You convince your mom to drive you everywhere

You know how to drive and you might even have a car. But there is something so special about having your mom drive you around again just like when you were a kid.

6. Your dad is HYPE to cook for you.

He is so excited to have you back that he will literally make anything you ask for. Even if he destroys the kitchen in the process of it...

7. You can sleep in your own bed

There is no feeling like when you get into your own bed and you immediately sink into the best sleep you have gotten in months.

8. You get to bond with your family

You get to spend time with those who matter most, and since you spent so much time apart you can truly appreciate what family means.

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.
