8 Things Every College Student Is Looking Forward To This Thanksgiving

The countdown begins as we slowly but surely approach Thanksgiving break. I cannot even begin to explain just how excited I am to finally go home. Going home to New Jersey after 3 months in Florida is going to be cold, but so worth it. Obviously going home for Thanksgiving is a blessing but what college kids are really going to be thankful for are the following:

1. Your own bed/couch

there is going to be nothing more satisfying then getting off the plane walking into my bedroom and literally falling into my bed and not getting up until I am forced to.

2. Showering without flip flops on

Let's be real this is going to be the most exhilarating feeling.

3. Real food

I think I may actually gain the freshman 15 when I go home because... food, so much good food.

4. Getting in your car and drive it.

Most people say you have so much freedom when you go to college but people who say that must obviously not go to a college where you can't have a car. I can't wait to just get in my car and drive until I can't drive anymore.

5. Hugging your mom/dad/brother/sister or everyone all at once

Its going to be so satisfying hugging my mom. I may actually never let go until I unfortunately have to leave.

6. No work, no studying no nothing.

My plans for when I go home consist of nothing, nothing and nothing and I've never been more thrilled.

7. Uninterrupted Sleep

An all you can sleep marathon will be taking place when I go home. 8 a.m. will not be apart of my vocabulary while I'm home.

8. seeing your dog/cat/whatever pet you have

I don't even have a pet but every single one of my friends won't stop talking about how excited they are to see their pets so I guess its a thing.

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.
