With Thanksgiving break coming and going in the blink of an eye, I'm more than ready to be home for winter break. Thanksgiving break was such a tease with getting to relax and seeing my family. Now the next three weeks will be testing my patience with all of the projects and test I have to complete. I'm ready to be home with my cat, sitting by the tree and doing nothing. I'm also ready for everything Christmas has in store. Like shopping, food, and spending time with friends and family. These next three weeks can't go by fast enough.

1. School is testing me

After coming back from Thanksgiving break, these next three weeks are going to be a rough one. With projects, papers, finals and more projects, I'm not mentally prepared at all.

2. I'm longing for some relaxation

I got way to comfortable being home over Thanksgiving. Relaxing and not worrying about school work was a dream come true. I did not want to leave my bed to come back to school.

3. CHRISTMAS IS 29 DAYS AWAY

Black Friday and Cyber Monday really got me into the holiday spirit. Thanks to online shopping, I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping. I'm more than ready to put the tree up and wrap presents!

4. I miss the fam

miss you

Being home over Thanksgiving was such a tease. Even though I hate to admit it, I miss being food-related and watching my parents annoy one another.

5. A bubble bath is calling my name

Coming from the girl that is not too fond of a bubble bath or a bath at all even, it is unfortunate that my apartment doesn't have a bathtub. This cold weather is perfect for a nice hot bubble bath.

6. I'm ready for a change of pace

I like my classes this semester, but I'm ready for something new. Luckily, the semester is almost over because I'm getting tired of the same old thing.

7. I can't wait to catch up with my friends

I'm ready for Starbucks dates, movie dates, and shopping dates. I love coming home and catching up with friends and meeting new ones.

8. Lots of food

eating

The best part about the holidays some would say. I'm more than ready to stuff my face with everything Christmas food-related without a care in the world.

9. Celebrating with my family

Every year on Christmas Eve we have my family over to our house to celebrate Christmas. We eat lots of food, do a white elephant gift exchange and usually, Santa and Mrs. Clause stop by with gifts. It's all around a great time!

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.
