After many semesters spent away from home, I've picked up on a few tips that all college students should follow every time they go home! You'll end up saving money and spending time with the people who really matter!


1. Get supplies!

Search your parent's house for anything you need. You'd be surprised how much better toilet paper feels when you didn't buy it yourself!



2. See everyone (especially the people who will give you money)!

Grandma. What's up, homie?


3. Go shopping!

Try to sucker your parents into... I mean ask your parents politely to take you shopping for things you may want or need back at school but don't want to spend your own money for.



4. Eat as much food as you can.

Devour as much free food as humanly possible. Who knows when you'll have the chance to eat freely again?



5. Relax.

Or chillax... Either one. Just do it while you're still homework-free!



6. Bring your dirty clothes!


In hopes that your mom misses you enough to wash them, because we all know how difficult it is for college students to do it themselves...



7. Make/go to doctor's appointments.


Make sure you're still in good shape after a very long semester!



8. Avoid talks about boyfriends by any means!

Because parents ALWAYS ask!



9. Avoid talks about how much fun you have away from home.

Because parents ALWAYS ASK... And you'd probably be going to community college if they found out.



10. Avoid questions about if you get drunk or not.

BECAUSE PARENTS ALWAYS ASK and will automatically assume that you're an alcoholic if you say yes.



11. Avoid questions about how much money you're saving.

Unless they'll give you some if you admit that you haven't saved any at all.



12. Make sure to spend enough time at home.

Don't forget to hang out with the people who make it all possible. Plus, your high school friends will likely forget about you by next semester anyway!


13. Leave before things get too boring.

The change in pace will start to kill you. Trust me.


14. Leave everything just how it was when you got home.

Your parents will be hype.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
