Between the food, being able to catch up on sleep, and not having to go to class for a few day, Thanksgiving break is one of a college student's favorite time of the year.

1. The last class before break is spent staring at the clock, wondering if it'll ever end

2. You finally get out of your class, and a feeling of pure happiness for the long weekend rushes over you

3. You leave campus (and all your worries) behind you

4. Soon, it's Thanksgiving Day, and all you have to do is focus on food

5. But not before you have to deal with your relatives talking to you about school

6. You spend the rest of the weekend doing pointless things, and not even bothering to get any work done

7. Instead, you take lots of naps and catch up on the sleep you've missed

8. You then realize that you have a ton of work to do and no time to do it

9. You come up with any excuse not to do it

10. The night before you go back to class is spent doing said work

11. You travel back to school, wishing you had a longer break but excited to get back to your friends

12. But even if you have to go back, you still have hope, because Christmas break is just around the corner!

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.
