Being home from college is great but it does take a lot of getting used to. You go from having all of the freedom in the world to telling your parents every move you make and sometimes this can be a tough transition. Chores, working, not having to wake up for an 8am class, and even not having home work to do all takes some getting used to.

Going so long with out seeing a dog and being unsure of how to react when you finally see one again.

Dogs are mans best friend but being in college and not seeing one for a couple of months may make you unsure of how to react. But trust me this feeling will soon fade and you will attack a dog with love and all you'll want to do is pet all of the dogs you see.

Asking your parents to please let you go out with your friends knowing that you have work tomorrow.

Asking your parents to do things after going so long without needing permission can seem like a big pain in the butt. In the end they just want to know where you are in case something bad happens or if they need to contact you.

When you get your first paycheck from work knowing how broke college has made you.

.

Even if it was just a $100 paycheck you are still excited because your bank account is finally in the triple digits again.

Deciding what food you should order when your hanging out with your friends and realize you have a total of $20 to spend.

Pizza is inexpensive and delicious, so there is never any fighting when someone asks if we should order pizza.

When your mom wakes you up to give you a list of chores that you need to do by a certain time.

Chores are already one of the worst things to do, but its even worse when your parents wake you up just so you can do them.

Realizing that its almost the new year and you want to look good in your NYE outfit.

Diets are a good thing although losing weight and eating right is one of the hardest things to do unless you have motivation and a good support system.

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.
