6 Thoughts Every College Student Has Over Winter Break
Savannah Tutt

1. This is definitely better than finals, at least

The few weeks right before leaving to go home for winter break are some of the most stressful moments of the entire school year. You start to find yourself scrapping note cards, throwing away study guides, and being able to breathe again without the pressure of several paged exams looming in front of you.


2. This food actually looks, and tastes like... food?

College food is a fascinating concept. You think pizza three times a week sounds like something you could only achieve in a fairytale, until it becomes your reality.


3. I better not run into anyone from high school

It's almost as if you can't even pump your gas or hit a drive thru without having a violently uncomfortable reunion with all of the girls who made sure you had no self-esteem in high school.


4. Is my mom actually trying to give me a curfew?

Even worse, it's the exact same one you had in high school.


5. Where my girls at?

The only thing weirder than being away from your friends is the fact that they're most likely divided all over the country.


6. So, I'm really on my own now?

A small loan of ten dollars from your parents as you try to stretch paycheck to paycheck? Not anymore. You're an adult now, apparently.

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.
