The 11 Phases Of Being A College Student Home For Thanksgiving

We all love thanksgiving. It's a way to get together with family when you're just coming back from college, a way to finally relax from all the school work, and a way to eat, let's just say, real home-cooked food. We all know those phases that we go through.. let's just put them out there.

1. The "Midterms need to be over so I can come home and eat that damn turkey" Phase.

It's just about that time. Midterms are coming to an end, and that last one just makes you want to jump off the nearest cliff.

2. The "I'm ready to come home" Phase.

The moment midterms are over, the moment you leave to go home, you're ready for that damn turkey!


3. The "It's time to eat" Phase.


Forget about anything else, you're ready to dive on in!

4. The "Grandma tries to give thanks" Phase.

We all have that family member, who just doesn't eat right away. They must say every little thing of why Thanksgiving is the best holiday and how we should appreciate it. We get it. Now let's eat!


5. The "Stuff your face" Phase.


Your family looks at you like you haven't eaten for 20 years.


6. The "You ate so much, you feel like a stuffed turkey" Phase.


We've all been there. You have to un-buckle your pants and sit there for a few minutes, while your breath becomes thick and heavy, and you actually feel as if you were the stuffed turkey on the table.


7. The "Oh no, the desert is ready" Phase.

The moment we've all been waiting for, ladies and gentlemen! Just after you thought you couldn't eat the entire table, there is more. Something none of us can resist.


8. The "Food Coma" Phase.

This is never a good moment in history, but it was well worth it!


9. The "Realization that you have school after this" Phase.

Someone just had to mention the word "school," didn't they?


10. The "Thanksgiving Blues" Phase.

The drive back to school, feeling some type of way.


11. The "What even is homework?" Phase.

All that stuffing and turkey got to your head, and you just don't know where to even start.

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.
