The Reality Of Winter Break In GIF's

As the semester comes to a close, there is no denying that each and every one of us are counting down the hours to when we will finally be free. Between end of semester projects, presentations and final exams, our brains are on the verge of shutting down. We yearn for a month long break and imagine all of the super awesome stuff we are going to do. But what do we really do over break? Do we go hang out with all of our old friends from high school that we "miss so much?" Do we take super rad day trips up to the mountain to hit the slopes? Do we take that vacation abroad we have been talking about planning for months now? Let's be real, by the time we realize that our break plans will never happen, and that our break has been somewhat, well, mediocre... it is usually too late to do any of these "super awesome" things we had in mind. In fact, at this very time you are probably sitting in bed or on your couch debating whether or not to watch the 10th episode in a row of whatever you are binge watching on Netflix or to, God forbid, stop what you are doing for 5 minutes to go get another sleeve of Oreo's.

SO, with all of this said, why don't we stop kidding ourselves and talk about what break has really been like. A long, lazy, fattening, month of just about nothing that we had planned it to be.

Let’s put it this way,

1. School’s Out! ...For now, at least.

2. Packing to go home

3. Going home and finally eating real food

4. Texting all your friends from home...

5. Playing with your dog. I MISSED YOU SO MUCH.

6. Sleeping in!

7. Binging Netflix... for hours, and hours.... and hours...

8. Eating, eating, eating

9. Bitching that you're bored

10. Watching people's Snapchat stories of them away on vacation, and well, crying

11. Thinking about working out...

12. Not.

13. Eating MORE

14. Realizing it's already time to pack up for next semester...

15. How did I get all this stuff home to begin with?

16. Saying goodbye to your parents...

17. But more importantly, your dog :'(

18. Getting back to school and realizing you're still pale, fat, and poor, just like you were a month ago.

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.
