Going Home For Break As Told By April Ludgate
Tumblr

If you've seen NBC's comedy sitcom , "Parks and Recreation", you probably know April Ludgate as the cynical yet witty character whose every line has probably been drenched in sarcasm. And with college students going home for winter break to spend time with their families and friends, I thought, what better way to describe the experience than through April Ludgate quips?

With that said, here are eight quotes that you may relate to if you are headed home this holiday season:

1. When you see your mom for the first time in weeks and she's a little more affectionate than you expected:

2. When you've just given your sister her Christmas present, but you're not really the touchy-feely type:

3. When you've had a long, stressful semester at college and you can't even remember what you're interested in outside of academics:

4. I'm sure you feel this way toward at least one person in your family: (Maybe an older sibling? Your aunt?)

5. If you're from a large family and everyone tries to talk to you about how you're doing and how's school and whether you've found a girlfriend/boyfriend yet, you will eventually find yourself thinking:

6. When you're watching your young cousins play an intense game of "Capture the Flag":

7. ...and then they ask you to join them:

8. Just because it's Christmas time:

Surely not everybody is this moody or pessimistic about spending time with their families as I might have made it seem with these quotes, but we each have a hint of April Ludgate in us when it comes to extensive interactions with a nosy, energetic family.

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.
