CDN History

I will be home in 407 hours. I've had so many great experiences this semester, but as someone who hasn't been home since I moved in over three months ago, there's a multitude of things I miss about home. From my family, to my bed, to my dog, to my favorite hometown breakfast joint, I miss a lot of things. Here's what 30 other college kids, from multiple campuses, have to say in response to the question "What are you looking forward to about winter break?"

1. "No more stressing about studying for a whole month."

2. "BOWL GAMES."

3. "My doggos! And spending time with my family. And eating food with flavor!"

3. "My mom's wedding!"

4. "Making money and seeing my man."

5. "My dog."

6. "Packing for studying abroad in Northern Ireland in the spring!"

7. "No homework."

8. "The CMPD Christmas Project and giving my loved ones their gifts."

9. "To go home and see people!"

10. "Going to Europe!"

11. "Seeing Slinky, my cat."

12. "Sleeping and seeing my friends."

13. "My hometown. Huntsville is magical."

14. "Spending time with family, seeing my dogs, and the food."

15. "Going to my grandma's house and not being in school."

16. "Much sleep."

17. "Mostly seeing my dogs and to see my friends, who I haven't seen in a minute. My family, I guess. Maybe there'll be a winter wonderland waiting for me. That'd be nice."

18. "Not feeling dead inside."

19. "More free time to read books, make candles, and make candy."

20. "Not being loaded with stress."

21. "To sleeping and not being sick."

22. "Eating Christmas cookies!"

23. "More me time! I barely have time to myself during the school year."

24. "Picking avocados fresh off the grove everyday."

25. "Not being here."

26. "Seeing my friends."

27. "Slowing down and re-centering myself so I can hopefully have a better semester after break."

28. "Eating sausage balls and not having a disgusting bathroom and shower."

29. ""Sleep. And going to Disney World and Universal."

30. "Eating food that isn't awful.

31. "Getting funky with old friends."

32. "Netflix."

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.
