Going Back To School After Winter Break, As Told By New Girl
Hello Giggles

Winter break is a blessing. There is no doubt about that. After a semester we thought would never end, it's much needed time to unwind, and recover. But somewhere along the line, all hell breaks loose. One minute, I was relaxed and happy, and now I'm stressing out about my spring schedule. How did this happen? How did we get here? Let's rewind to where it all went wrong, as told by New Girl.


1. You get home, and everything is how it should be


FINALLY, it's time to binge on hours of Netflix, and sleep in until noon everyday.

2. But then a relative asks how your grades were this semester


I dropped from a 3.82 to a 2.82 all in one semester, but thanks for reminding me.

3. You feel like a guest in your home and it's just downright uncomfortable

My room is now a guest room, all my belongings are in boxes, and I'm living out of a suitcase. Home sweet home.

4. And your mom has the AUDACITY to ask you to do some remedial chore like the dishes, as if you ACTUALLY live there

Can't you ask one of your other kids?

5. After days of sleeping in, and not knowing what day it is, you look at a calendar and realize you have to go back to school soon


You like being home, but then again, has it REALLY been that great so far?

6. When your friends who go to school in your hometown complain about having to go back to school

You live at home, don't have to pay rent, and don't have hours of driving ahead of you, so sit down.

7. And you realize how a lot of them haven't matured since high school


You're always going to love your high school friends, but sometimes it's nice knowing you only have to see some of them for a few weeks out of the year.

8. But then you realize you get to see your college friends if you go back

You've been on break for almost three weeks, but you already high key miss your friends. Time to go back.

9. Waving bye to your family knowing you're going back home to your college family

See you at spring break, fam.

10. And finally your roommate asks how your winter break went


But now you're safe, and that's what matters. (At least until Syllabus Week is over...)

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.
