An Accurate Representation Of Going Home For The Weekend

Every once in awhile we get the opportunity to go home and spend the weekend away from the college scene. When going home, there are always things that you are bound to do before the weekend is over and you have to make the drive back. Here are some things that happen when you're home.

1. First you come home just to go and cuddle with your dog and/or cat.

Yeah I mean it is great to see your family, but the most important members of your family are those with four legs that always love you no matter what. You need to make up for lost time with your pet!

2. Then it is time to sleep the day and night away.

The only thing that is better than your pet, is sleeping in your own bed! You can always try to believe that your bed up at school is comfy but nothing can compare to you bed at home!

3. The only times you will get up during the day is when you are hungry or want to watch Netflix in your bed.

Getting up from your bed is hard work when you are catching up on much needed sleep. So you only should get up for emergencies. These emergencies are when you are hungry or when you forget that you need to continue watching the show you never finished!

4. Once you have caught up on sleep, you try to convince your parents to take you out shopping for food and clothes.

One of the best things about being home is that you don't have to spend your own money. You take this very seriously and convince your parents that you need food back up at school or need something that is vital up at school! Coming home to shop is the best time to shop.

5. You take a long drive through town.

Is there anything better than strolling down memory lane while having the music blasting!

6. You force your parents to watch the show you are currently binge watching on Netflix.

Because there is nothing better than forcing your parents to watch a show you like!

7. You go and visit your friends who are are also home and it is like you have never left!

Every time you come home you somehow make your way to a friends house in order to catch up. And sometimes catching up takes all night!

8. You make sure you huge bag of laundry is done by anyone but you.

You saved all your laundry just for someone in your family to do for you.

9. You quickly get done all the homework you forgot to do.

It is Sunday morning and you just realized that you have a bunch of homework due at midnight so you rush and get it done as quick as possible before you go back to school.

10. You are going to be upset to leave, but know that soon you will be reunited with you family and most importantly your bed.

It is not goodbye, but instead see you soon! Before you know it you will be back to the same routine for another weekend.

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.
