Things I Love About Being Home

Being home over winter break reminds me how much I miss being home.

Christmas break is finally here and I couldn't be happier. I get to hang out with my family and friends and love on my dogs for three weeks before I have to go back to school. Being home has me thinking about all of the reasons why I get homesick during the normal school weeks.

My family 

I'm super close with my family and do so much with them, that being away from home was kind of a struggle. I missed hanging out with them and I missed forcing them to hang out with me.

My dogs 

My dogs are like my best friends. They're always there for me, they love me no matter what, and they're always so excited to see me. I'm obsessed with my dogs and I can't believe I get to spend so much time with them.

My Own Space 

I live in a dorm, so sharing such a small room can get a little uncomfortable sometimes. I love my roommate so much, but I'm a girl who likes her own space and I love being in my own room and being able to have alone time.

My friends 

Oh my goodness how much I miss my friends so much. These gals that were there for me through high school are like my sisters and it is so hard to go from seeing them every day to almost never in such a short amount of time. I'm so thankful we get to see each other over the break.

My home town 

The place that I wanted to leave so badly now has me thankful I get to spend so much time here before I go back to school. I missed the shops, the restaurants, the coffee shops, and the place I missed most: target.

While I love being in college and experiencing a new place and getting to know new people, I love being home and seeing my friends, family, dogs and all of my familiar surroundings. I know in about a week I'm going to miss my college friends and town but for now, I'm so grateful for the 3 weeks I get to spend time where I am.

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.
