The 10 Best Things About Going Home For Break

In This Article:

Going home for break is easily one of the best things in a college student's life. Here are a few reasons why.

1. Seeing your family

The unconditional love, the constant teasing, the dad-jokes, the sisterly advice...nothing holds a candle to it.

2. Seeing your high school/childhood friends

They were with you during your awkward stages and they miss you very much. Have fun going to all your old spots and reminiscing about old times with those who have always had your back.

3. Seeing your pets!!! 

This is hands down the BEST thing about going home for break. Don't be surprised if you end up snuggling with your dog for the majority of break and forget to see any actual humans.

4. Showering without shower shoes

Showering at home after a few months of showering in flip flops, trying your hardest not not touch anything with fear of contracting a gross foot fungus, is truly the most cleansing of experiences. There's nothing like a nice, clean, and relaxing shower at home.

5. Sleeping in your own bed

Lots of pillows? Check. Soft, cushy mattress? Check. Actually big enough for a normal sized human? Check.

6. Getting to drive

Driving is such an underrated therapeutic activity. There's nothing quite like the feeling of driving through your hometown streets and blasting your favorite songs.

7. Eating at your favorite restaurants

YUM. Need I say more?

8. Not having to pay for/do your own laundry

No quarters? No problem!

9. Home-cooked meals

Let's be real -- dining hall food can really suck. Nothing can compare to the comforting warm deliciousness of a home cooked meal made my mom or dad.

10. Food whenever and wherever! 

Find yourself having cravings at 1 am? No problem. Just head down to the kitchen. Easy as that.

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.
