7 Reasons To Appreciate Going Home For Spring Break

We all know that feeling when everyone's newsfeed on all social media is full of beach pictures and warm weather while we are stuck sitting at home. But hey, going home for spring break has some advantages.

1. You can go to all your favorite places

You have no commitments and you can go anywhere you want -- your favorite restaurants, shops, and all those cute homey places. The possibilities are almost endless.

2. Catch up with yourself

Now, I don't mean go home and talk to yourself, unless that's what you're into, but take of everything you have been meaning to do. You can get your hair and nails done, and attend to all that personal stuff you haven't had time to attend to.

3. Use your own bathroom

This one is self-explanatory and something everyone wants. You have a door that actually locks, and you can take a nice long shower (or even a bath) without shoes. You can have all the privacy you never have in college.

4. Have your favorite food

You can't deny, we all love home cooking. Compare the food our parents cook at home to the food we are served at school, there's no question which we would prefer. Not to mention, you'll get to eat at your favorite restaurants and you won't even have to pay!

5. See your pets

This may be the best part of the whole trip for most of us. We can finally be reunited for our better halves, our pets. You know they are the only ones you can count on to hang with you when you are home for break.

6. Obviously, binge-watch Netflix

Now that the quarter has ended and finals are over. You have a chance to relax and catch up on all your favorite shows and movies and not feel too guilty about -- because what else are you supposed to be doing?

7. See your family

Although this one is an obvious occurrence when you go home, it's always good to see the family. It's great to catch up and hang out with your siblings. Even though you'll be ready to get back to school by the end of the break.

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.
