Coming Home For The Holidays, As Told By "Friends"

To any college student reading this: congratulations, you finally made it through finals week and you are finally home for the holidays! After a long week full of work, papers, and tests, we are finally home for a nice break. Here is what it is like to come home from college for winter break, as told by the cast of "Friends":

Walking into your house after a full day of traveling from school to home

No matter how much you slept on your way home, you are still exhausted after a long travel day. Boy are you ready for a long break full of sleep, and even more sleep.

Getting at least 10 hours of sleep your first night home

You are a sleep deprived college student who just endured a long semester, your parents should not expect you to sleep any less.

Taking a really long shower and using up all of the hot water in your house


You just spent 4 months sharing a shower with everyone on your floor, you deserve to take a long, hot shower (without shower shoes) to feel clean and refreshed.

Eating real food (that is not from the dining hall)

You missed nothing more than a home cooked meal by your parents, even if your parents' cooking isn't the best. Anything tastes better than dining hall food.

Reuniting with your best friends

Running into old high school friends,


And running into people you wish you could avoid

Catching up on everyone's lives

And learning juicy gossip about your former classmates.

And most importantly, spending time with your family (who you missed so much)


I hope everyone has a good holiday and a good winter break!

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.
