Do you ever crave a weekend getaway? Are you just waiting with bated breath to escape from all your responsibilities?

Well, the perfect place to do so is... at home!

As a college student with loads of commitments, tests and who knows what else it can tend to overwhelm us making us want to just get away for a few days at a time.

Home doesn't sound like the most ideal vacation spot at times, but with a tight college budget, it is sometimes the next best option. Not only that, but home holds a very special place in many peoples hearts.

Think about it this way: In reality, home is much more than those few silly restrictions you have while you are around your family and especially your parents. Home is unconditional love, an endless amount of food, someone to do your laundry and most importantly, is your norm before starting your four years of college.

Before knowing what it was like to live on your own or even support yourself, you always had your parents to fall back on - most of the time. This change in scenery and way of life is one thing that can be very shocking to many. As time goes on, we college students tend to get used to life without these rules and obligations but deep down we truly miss them.

Maybe we don't miss the annoying tasks that were given to us like taking the trash out or putting your dish in the sink after a meal but at the end of the day, we college students have to do it anyway. These annoyances at home are ones that don't get to us at school, because in reality, if no one takes the trash out, it's not going to magically disappear itself.

Appreciate your ability to have a place to go to where you'll always be supported and cared for no matter what. I promise nothing beats that...not even a weekend getaway to your favorite destination.

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.

Love Lost

Being the girl that is falling for the boy is never easy.

You constantly text my phone telling me that you want to see me and hang out, even though we may not have sex we cuddle and that’s intimacy in its own. I’m tired of buying you food and being there for you like a girlfriend when you consistently tell me you aren't ready for a girlfriend. I am constantly feeling I’m getting slapped in the face because I’m doing all these things and getting nothing in return. Every day I feel myself liking you more which is just crazy because why would I even waste my time liking someone there isn’t a future with. I just want you to be honest with me and with yourself, tell me how you feel from your heart, stop just saying you aren’t ready. You are wasting time telling me you aren’t ready because while you are “getting ready” some guy somewhere else is telling me that he likes me and thinks I’m beautiful and wants to date me. I’m not asking for much, but I at least want exclusivity because you ask me for all these things but in return you give me nothing.

Pretty Little Liars

From reading the books in eighth grade to watching the television show all throughout high school, "Pretty Little Liars"basically defined my teenage existence. I was completely and totally obsessed on all accounts. However, even though I loved the fact that the books and the show are starkly different, there are simply just some ways in which the books are much better. Let's take a look:

Recently I was blessed to be a counselor at a wonderful camp, secluded in a cornfield somewhere in Virginia. I consider myself to be a seasoned camp counselor, as I have not only been a camper for most of my life but have been privileged enough to work multiple camps with all kinds of different facilities. I have worked camps with multi-thousand dollar facilities, with zip lines, rock walls, ropes courses, and boats. I have worked at camps with amazing water sports, camps with paintball, camps with canoes and paddle boats and floating blobs or trampolines in the middle of the water. I have worked at camps with in ground pools and camps without any pools, and even some camps with go-karts. I've had problem kids, kids who refuse to listen to anything I say, kids who sneak out after lights out to meet a significant other, and kids who are every camp counselors dream.

The United Nations (UN) has been in existence since June of 1945. Since then, the world has come together to work on and solve some of the harshest problems that face the Human Race. Be it children in societal ills like Human Trafficking, natural issues like Deforestation, or issues of extreme poverty, the UN has worked together in an attempt to make it a better place for us all. It's the only organization in the history of the world to bring people together in a willing, peaceful way; a feat that not even the League of Nations could do in the Post- WWI era. Why was it that one organization failed, and the other one is still going strong, 72 years later?
