The Many Phases Of Break

Capitalize on the company of your family and the opportunity to use your parent's funds.

The Many Phases Of Break

The wait has been long and tiring, but you prevailed. The term is up, you are free and your bed (bigger than a twin) is calling your name. Home is where the heart is, or in this case, where you can get more than five hours of sleep a night and where you can shower sans flip flops. Welcome back.

You're thrilled to finally be heading home for break.

You take time to do all the childish things you couldn't do while you were away at college.

You happily visit with the people you missed from high school. It's great to see your squad.

You re-discover the wonder that is driving a vehicle.

You re-discover the forgotten blessing of lonesomeness and privacy.

You spend absurd amounts of time with your dog because you missed her.

Upon entering the house you and your siblings immediately start reeking havoc.

You're getting hyped to go out with the ladies from high school.

But you forgot that at home, your parents need to know times, locations and your friends moms' maiden names before you're allowed out of the house.

You return to visit your old stomping grounds feeling full of wisdom and sage advice.

Because thus far, college has been good for your confidence.

It's great to be back, but being home also made you realize what you loved about school. You are reminded of all the people in town you didn't mind leaving behind.

You recognize that the freedom to eat what you want when you want is a college luxury because your diet might have changed but mom's certainly didn't.

You miss the omnipresent social opportunities.

You miss getting weird in the dorm with your friends.

You love being home but by the end of break...you say peace out to the suburbs.

You run back to school, full steam ahead.

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.
