What is the holiday season like for college students? It means internally crying because you need to buy gifts for friends and family (because you're not in enough debt as it is). It means being excited about holiday songs and endless food, but wincing every time a family member asks you about your nonexistent love life. Here's a college student's holiday season as told by "Friends." Enjoy!

1. Celebrating the spirit of the holiday's cannot be contained to one day, no, it's a whole month long celebration.


2. And that means dancing nonstop to Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas" and any other holiday song that comes on.


3. Being home for the holiday's also means eating lots and lots of food. Whether it's a home-cooked meal from your mom, or a holiday party with endless dip, there's always food and you can't stop eating it.


4. But you do not have time to catch your family members up on your life when there's food to be eaten.


5.You're not sure how you can afford to buy gifts for everyone, so you have to get a little creative.


6. One thing you're sure of is you're not going to do any homework you're supposed to do.


7. Your being constantly reminded that you're single, whether it's mistletoe, New Year's Eve, or even your family members. If you're single for the holiday's, it's kind of hard to forget it.


8. And if you are in new a relationship,sharing the news with family isn't much easier, and it'll be all the relatives want to hear about.


9. But on the bright side, your friends will all be home for break.


10. And you can wear sweaters all day everyday.


11. And of course, you will always be that little excited kid when it comes to opening gifts on Christmas morning.


HAPPY HOLIDAY'S, 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.
