First Summer Home From College As Told By Friends
Glide Magazine

Freshman year of college is one full of excitement, learning and shambles. Just as we finally begin to adjust to the crazy hustle and bustle of college life, we are forced to pack up our messy dorm rooms and head back home for the summer. In high school, the first day of summer could not come soon enough, but after a year of freedom away from home this long break just seems unnecessary. It's only the first week back home and it feels like it's the fifteenth. Sophomore year where ya at?


When you walk into your house for the summer and see all the delicious FREE snacks so you end up eating half your body weight in chips.

Sorry, not sorry.

When your mom keeps lecturing you about how you never clean your room and how you need to get off your lazy butt to get a job.

I'll get to it when I get to it!

The moment your dog rejects you for cuddles and you realize that they have more of a life than you do this summer.

It's cool, Max, really I'm fine!

When you're excited to hang out with your friends, because it means that you finally have plans with someone other than Netflix, but you remember there is absolutely NOTHING to do.

Yeah! Woo! Summer!!

After the second week of doing nothing, but laying in bed you decide it is finally time to do something with your life.

On second thought...

That face you make when you're parents say "Aren't you glad to be home?"

I still love you guys though, don't worry!

Even though you can't escape the boredom you know that you don't have to worry about millions of tests and papers sure to come your way next semester.

That's a plus.

When your sister tells you she thinks you've gained weight since going to college, but how could you not with all the ramen and dining hall chicken tenders!

Those tenders though..

And finally, when you realize that you still have three months left before heading back to school.

Might as well make the best of it!

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.
