The Best Parts Of Coming Home For Break

Coming home after months of being away is easily the best feeling in the world. You finally get to spend time away from campus and not have to worry about that ten page paper or if the showers are all taken. There are so many reasons why coming home is one of the best things in the world, but here are just a few.


1. You do not have to FaceTime your mom to see your dogs. All thats needed is a pair of eyes to see your not-so empty lap or a a voice loud enough to call their precious names your way.

2. Not having to wait in a line of ten girls to take a shower or worry about waiting for the big shower to shave your legs. At home there may still be a wait, but it's decreased quite a bit.

3. Speaking of showers you do not need to wonder if the hot water is working today or not. At home there is an endless supply of hot water that is waiting to be used by you.

4. You will not have to worry about the smell of marijuana 24/7 unless you are in to that kind of stuff.

5. You can stay up as late as you want and not have to think about if you will be on time for your 7:45 lecture. No more lectures for the next few weeks thankfully.

6. You do not have to worry about waking your roommate up if you randomly get hungry at 4am. At home your kitchen is away from the bedrooms so chances are you will not wake anyone up.

7. Thankfully you will not be broke all the dang time. You will not have to worry if you are going to have enough money to feed you, fill up your car, and save some for a rainy day at home.

8. Chances are over break Santa might bring you some new goodies. You can replace everything that was broken the previous semester and buy all the new things you might need and or want for next semester.

9. No need to worry about quite hours at home, I mean you will want to be quite with your parents are sleeping but other than that you can be as loud as you want when you want without worrying about what others might say. AKA security or your RA

10. After months of being away you get to spend quality time with your parents. You do not need to worry about rushing home Sunday mid day to make it in time for chapter. You can lounge all day with your parents and fill them in on all the little details you forgot to tell them during your rushed visits home.

Sadly break as to end sometime. I mean it is called a break. My advice would be to savor every moment at home because before you know it, it will be your last Sunday home and you are going to wish for another month long 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.
