Coming Home for Thanksgiving - Senior Edition

Here are a few questions that college seniors are all so looking forward to when they come home for Thanksgiving.

When most people think of Thanksgiving, especially college students, they think, "Yes! I get to go home!" or "I get a home cooked meal!" or "I get to see my family after such and such months!" But many seniors who are coming home to see their families, who just want to come home and sleep, are going to be given the many questions you have been asking yourself since your semester began.

Throughout the entire semester, you're trying to figure out what the future holds for you. Most people know, most people don't. As much as I want to go home and be with my friend, I'm dreading the questions that I will most likely be receiving as well as many other seniors when we return home.


1. "How's School?"

College seniors aren't the only people that get this question, even elementary school kids get this question. The only difference between two is that one is a little more excited about what they did versus the other. . .I think you can guess which is which.


2. "Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?"

The human race is nosy — we can't help it. It's apart of our DNA or something. So don't be all that surprised with this question. In my own personal case, I don't even have the time to worry about myself much less think about another person.


3. "What are you going to do once you graduate?"

This question is the most dreaded out of any other question. You, being the college senior, are more worried about just finishing the current semester and passing all your finals while graduation dangles over your head. You haven't even considered the possibilities of the real world yet.



Besides all these "wonderful" questions, you get to go home and see your lovely family after so many months away at college. It will be nice to see familiar faces and really catch up with friends and just have the break that you deserve, before winter break. On that note, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy this nice break. We all definitely need it.

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.
