5 Things We All Do On Christmas Break
Anna Dailey

We've all been thrilled for our Christmas Break and we're grateful for no homework or tests. It's a great time to be lazy and not worry that we're wasting our time. Here are the five things everyone will do on their Christmas break.

1. Watch Netflix

We won't just watch a couple of movies or maybe a couple shows. It's time to go big or go home! You will probably watch two full series, or more, depending on how much time you spend sleeping. Now is the perfect time to catch up on all of your shows without worrying about wasting time that you could use to write that paper due in three days. You also have time to watch most of the things you've been curious about or people have told you that you must watch. Basically, it's a time you can watch Netflix and not feel guilty about it.


2. Living Out of The Suitcase

Nobody can be bothered to unpack all of their clothes when they're just going to repack it all in about a month. So instead we just dig through the suitcase until you think you found what you're looking for and if you didn't you just grab things from the top. If all else fails you just wear whatever you had left behind in your room, even if it's not your favorite sweater.


3. Messing Up Your Okayish Sleep Schedule

Who needs a regular sleep schedule! Instead of going to bed at midnight and waking up around nine now you can stay up until four in the morning and wake up at noon, or later. Of course, it wasn't always like this, it started with you immediately going to sleep at seven and waking up at noon. However, it doesn't matter what your sleep schedule is now and you don't even care that it's going to be really messed up when you're back on campus.


4. Eating Junk Food

Since it's the holiday season you decide it's completely okay to just eat whatever you want. Nothing is off limits to you anymore, you eat tons of candy and you've started hoarding bags of chips in your room so you don't have to leave the comfort of your bed while watching Netflix. You come out of your room to eat dinner with the family, but that's the only time you're not eating processed junk that you know is unhealthy.


5. Buying Last Minute Christmas Gifts!

We're days away from Christmas and now you've realized you still need to get gifts for a few people. So first you try to go through your things and see if anything can be regifted. Now if that plan has failed you start texting and calling relatives and friends and asking them what they got for this person and if they know what they would like. After spending all of that time trying to figure out what to buy you have to rush to the store and actually buy it which seems like is going to take forever. However, that's just because you're having trouble actually finding the item you need to buy. Once you do actually purchase the gift you have to wrap and act like you knew you were getting this the whole time and you didn't just freak out in the middle of the store because you were frustrated.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
