A College Student's Guide

1. Get LOTS of Rest


After hard assignments and chores that we college students usually have, a rest is definitely needed! Whether it's after traveling or after a long week of school, rest should be one of the first things you do. Trust me, getting all the rest you can will be beneficial in the long run—can someone say all nighters? Yeah, when the opportunity of pulling an all nighter presents itself, you'll be thinking back on those cozy nights you were catching some sleep over your break.

2. Put in Work


When on break, it is the perfect time to get your educational juices flowing. Now that there is no worry about chores and other tasks, your break is a fine time to get some things accomplished. Use this as a head start on assignments; that way you're worry free when you get back to campus. We all know that procrastination can be a pain and a hindrance. I know, I know, it's a break, so why are we doing work? Let's just be frank about it: the best way to utilize a break is to get a little stuff done, that way you actually get a break when there is none.

3. Spend Quality Time with Loved Ones


When at home, one of the best ways to use your break is to spend time with friends and family. While away at school, you may miss moments and events. This is great to catch up and learn about what you have missed at home, that way you won't feel as if you've missed too much. Of course, you won't be able to see everyone while at home BUT a call or text letting them know that you've traveled or that you're home will make a big difference.

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.
