Going Home For Christmas Break As Told By April Ludgate
The Main Damie

Every semester there's always that amazing feeling when you finish your last final, walk out of the classroom, get in your car and speed off campus like your life depend on it.

Then, once home, you throw on your comfy pajamas, open your Netflix, and begin binging shows like there's no tomorrow.

Until your mom tells you to clean your room or do the dishes, of course. Which is when you realize that there are some upsides to living on campus where you can have your room as messy you want.

Then, as Christmas gets closer, you have to scramble to find presents for your friends and family members.

And of course there's always Christmas dinner with family, and you always end up stuck next to the weird cousin or uncle and you're just looking at your parents like:

Then someone brings up the election and you know everything is about to go downhill from there.

But then you just pour yourself another glass like:

Before long, Christmas dinner is over and you're getting into your car to leave with all your presents from your family that you didn't want to begin with.

Then you get to spend time with your friends and celebrate New Years, while you spend all the money you got from Christmas so you're feeling like


But before long you realize it's almost time to go back to school.

And you begin ordering your books for classes and packing your clothes back up.

Then of course your parents get sad when you have to hug them goodbye the day you leave for school again.

But you know that you'll be back soon for Spring break and you're ready to face the semester!

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.
