It's about that time of year. Going home for the holidays, seeing your hometown friends and family, doing a little shopping and a little relaxing.

Being home is bittersweet because you miss your home and your home back in college, but you don't miss the schoolwork, the constant studying, not sleeping as much, and more.

What you don't like being at home is the questions asked by every single family member.

1. "How are your grades?"

Haven't looked at them in months...

2. "Are you dating anyone?"

No, and if I was I wouldn't tell you.

3. "Have you lost any weight? Are you working out?"

I'm just not eating..

4. "Have you been eating healthy/right?"

Wait Taco Bell isn't healthy?

5. "How is it like being home for the holidays?"

Great, until you started to ask me these questions.

6. "Do you miss being at college?"

I'm saying no, but I'm meaning yes.

7. "What are you planning on doing with your degree?"

Uhhhh.. hopefully use it.

8. "How are the roommates?"

I hope good. I haven't seen them in a couple of weeks.

9. "Wow, you must go out a lot, eh?"

Not often.....

10. "Are you sleeping well?"

Sleep is for the weak apparently.

11. "Do you have a job? How are you affording all of these new clothes and your food?"

I'm in the negatives in my bank account.

12. "Do you ever miss home?"

The free food, free rent, somewhere to do laundry? Yes.

13. "The job market is not doing well right now. Aren't you worried?"

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.
