10 Awkward Conversations You Have When You Go Home For Fall Break
ABC

Alright, we all know the hell everyone goes through when going home for the holidays. Some of us ache with the idea of leaving our friends to go hang out with a bunch of people who no longer understand us or judge us for the smallest things. Here are a couple conversations no one wants to go through when spending family time during fall break.

1. When your parents ask you about your grades and you know full well D’s get degrees.

I'm just glad my professors never give us our grades, so I'm just as out of the loop as my parents. Am I passing, am I failing? Who knows man.

2. When your mom sees some guy named Greg snapped you and asks if he's your boyfriend.

Now you have to come up with an excuse for your booty call.

3. When your grandma mentions that you gained some weight and you realize the freshman 15 is real.


Alright, grandma, well at least I'll have gains when I start working out again.

4. When your parents ask you to fix the house that you haven’t lived in for the last four months

Do I have to fix something I didn't break? I don't really live here anymore, or do I? The confusion continues.

5. Wanting to go out and realizing you have a curfew still and have to argue for your freedom you’ve come accustomed to.


Mom, I've stayed up until 5 a.m. taking selfies with strangers every other weekend. I think I'll be fine staying out past midnight with my high school friends.

6. When your mother awkwardly asks you if you’ve been pressured to drink or smoke by your peers

Yes, and it was indeed a glorious night I shan't remember.

7. When your dog dies while your away and your parents decide to tell you when you get home.

How dare you, my poor fluffy all dead no longer able to greet me with dog kisses.

8. When your siblings claimed your room while you were away, so you have a wrestling match until there is only one winner.

I am the dominant sibling, all others must obey my authority, filthy peasants.

9. When your parents are religious and ask if you’re going to church on the regular.

Well if you count me saying "thank god" for turning in my assignments right before deadline then yes I at least pray.

10. When your mom thinks your "adult" enough to hear her dirty college stories and tries to bond with you.

Ummm, mom just no...

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.
