Christmas Break As Told By Elf

Nothing can beat spending the holidays at home with your family, and your dog (of course). For some people, this is the most wonderful time of the year. However, for others, the holidays can be stressful. All I know is, being indoors with my favorite people and not having to brave the BG winds on my way to class has been nice. Here is how break actually goes as told by Elf:

1. When someone makes homemade food.

Because let's be real, eating Marcos and having Jamba gets old sometimes.

2. Your reaction to relatives asking about college.

I'll let you know how college was after graduation, don't worry.

3. How it feels to make plans with old friends.

Even though you love them, sometimes it's just too much.

4. When the distant family makes comments about your height.

We get it, I'm five feet tall. I've been this way for seven years now.

5. Seeing people you used to be friends with.

The gif says it all.

6. When your favorite food isn't at Christmas this year.

All I wanted were some good mashed potatoes, I hope that's not too hard.

7. Missing your roommates and wanting to be able to talk to them all the time.

Let's face it, I miss my buddies like crazy.

8. Seeing half of the presents under the tree marked "from: Santa".

Come on mom, those have been there for a couple weeks, there's no way Santa brought those.

9. But still acting surprised on Christmas morning so your dog still believes in Santa.

He needs to believe in order for him to not expect extra treats the rest of the year.

10. Showing up to family gatherings and seeing your crazy family members.

Not that I particularly wanted to see you this holiday season, but hello to you too.

11. How I'll look when I finally get to see my Big again.

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.
