Finals Are Over, Let's Celebrate! Just Kidding...

Finals are over, which means school is out until January. The thoughts that are running through every college kid's mind is thank God. It's time for me to sink forever into my (parents') couch, Netflix and enjoy my Christmas break.

To a parent this means, my child is home from college! Finally! Let me give them a long list of to-dos, let me lecture you about how you don't come home enough, and sleeping in until 12? Um no, you're in my house, you need to be up by at least 9, and we are going to have something planned for every day that you are home. This might be your vacation, but this is my time to see my child, you better believe that I will make the best of it. Oh you want to stay home and be lazy? No way, you are going to go see every one of your family members that live in the area, and all your little cousins too. Did I mention that you're babysitting your nephew? Yeah, you have that too, it'll be all day. Then you're supposed to go play golf with your dad, he wants to leave at 7:30.

Is it just me or has Christmas break become more hectic than it used to be? After gathering up information, here are the top 10 feelings that a college student probably will experience this Christmas break.

1. Just let me sleep!!

2. Mom, it's Christmas break, you are supposed to be my maid.

3. I forgot how embarrassing my family is...

4. I'm not a child anymore mother, I'm in college now.

That doesn't mean I won't need you still though...

5. Let me do what I want!

6. I'm the visitor, so that means feed me.

7. But I expect real food, not from the microwave.

8. That means dessert too.

9. Why do we have to go places, can I have five more minutes? Or longer...

10. You did not just change the channel.


Although you might think Christmas break is crazy, and not what you expected it to be, when you return back to college you'll be glad you got time to spend with your family before the Spring semester starts.

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.
