Being Home For Christmas Break As Told By 'Parks And Rec'

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year and because of that, the best show is here to help us explain our feelings about that month back home.

Finals week is hard time for all of us. Necessities like sleep and eating seem to no longer be a priority and you are ready to be home for the holidays.

All you can think about is traveling home, far far away from your responsibilities.

Finally, the time is here. The car is packed and you are ready for a month of guilt free Netflix binging and not having to do your own grocery shopping.

The first few days are spent catching up on the sleep you've missed the past semester.

After you have caught up on doing nothing, you decide it's time to be social and catch up with some friends from high school.

Then you realize you haven't talked to most of them in three years and you'd rather watch Netflix by yourself.

Unfortunately, Netflix watching can be pretty boring when you're not supposed to be studying for a test and your parents don't want to hear your complaining.

You realize that it's only been a week, you've run out of Netflix shows and you really miss your college friends.

You resort to making them talk to you 24/7 so you can pretend you are together.

When that doesn't work, you decide maybe you'll just spend some time with your parents.

After conversations about money, grades and future plans you decide that wasn't your best idea.

You never thought the day would come, but it's finally time to head back to the promised land: full of friends and no one asking you about your relationship status.

Until you realize that means it's time to start a new semester.

Don't worry -- summer will be here before you know it!

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.
