The Stages Of Being The First Friend Home

No more homework? Awesome. Friends aren't home yet? Yikes.

The Stages Of Being The First Friend Home

By the end of the spring semester we're all itching to get out of school and go back home. No more work, just play. If you're that lucky friend that gets to go home earlier than everyone else you get bragging rights. Yet, once you are home it's not all fun and games because no one else is home to hang with you.

1. Excitement


Finally you're back in your own bed, driving your own car, eating at all the local joints. The idea of a summer full of opportunities is increasing your excitement for the memories to be made.

2. Boredom


You moved all your things back in and you are back to work, but during your free time there is nothing to do. Homework? Nope. You finished all that. Nap? You've already taken two. TV? All that's on during this hour is Dora the Explorer and Yo Gabba Gabba! Hard pass. Hang out with a friend or two? They're still taking exams.

4. Sadness


You're in bed by 9:30! Who even does that? Usually you'd be out and about with your best friend, but she's currently at a house party back at school. She said she'll facetime you when she gets back to her dorm, but then you'll just be reminded of all the fun you could have been having at school... If you weren't done so damn early. Which brings us to #5...

5. Regret


You regret moving your last test up a few days because all your school friends are still at school too, so you could've just spent the weekend with them before your next test. Total rookie move...

6. Bartering


At this point you're so bored without the squad that you will do just about anything to get them home. Even make deals with the devil, I'm kidding ... sort of. A different type of bartering you should think of doing is sucking up to your parents while your friends are away. That way when they come home your parents will be happy to let you go out whenever you want.

7. Happiness


Your friends are finally coming home!!! Just two more sleeps. It's time for the summer filled with wild memories to begin! Happy Summer!

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.
