5 Things To Do During The Holidays

Many students across the country are going home for the holidays. Here is a list of five things to do when you get home:

1. Sleep In

Remember all of those sleepless nights studying, doing projects and partying. Now that you are homey you are able to sleep in and not have to worry about anything else. Even though studies have shown you cannot catch up on sleep, you are able to finally get 6-8 hours or even more of sleep. Then when you wake up you can fall back asleep because you want to take a nap.

2. Wearing Casual Clothes

Many people might have worn casual clothes while at school, but now you can walk around the house in sweatpants or an ugly Christmas sweater. It is that time of year to not care about really anything because you are done with classes and there is no responsibility.

3. Watching Netflix around the clock

Now you can binge-watch all of your favorite episodes again. You are able to watch whatever you want and just lay around. If that is not your thing, then watch old Christmas movie. I would have to say my favorite movie is Home Alone, the first one. I have probably watched that movie six times.

4. Showering is Optional

Now, this might seem disgusting, but now you can shower whenever you want too. There is no designated time for you to get up in the morning unless you have an appointment or some other function. This means you do not need to shower unless you are a clean freak like me. Do not get me wrong, there have been a couple of times where I have not showered for two days. I did stay inside the whole time so I did not face the public outside.

5. Enjoy this time with loved ones

Make sure you surround yourself with the people you love. The holidays can be tough, and trust me I know that. So when going home, make sure that you surround yourself with positive people and positive energy. It is important that you do not surround yourself with people that just put you down. Just enjoy this time, and make sure that you enjoy and surround yourself with people you love.

So these are the five things that I recommend/have done during the holiday season. Just relax and enjoy this time because before you know it to school is going to start up again. So Happy Holidays to everyone!

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.
