The 18 People You Were Over Winter Break

No, I still don't know what I want to do with my life.

The new semester is here! You're wishing you had more money after buying those textbooks, and you're rifling through those new syllabi. So with that, it's time we did a recap of Winter Break for you. It's shorter than summer break, but you probably did a lot of different things and acted in a lot of different ways over break.

But right now, you're probably getting settled in and ready for the new semester, along with reverting back to "college mode," so let's take a moment to acknowledge the 18 people you were over break.


1.) A sloth

I guess this isn't technically a person, but it should count. After all those late nights and all-nighters you had to take some time to sleep. And sleep you did. Like a lot. You probably woke up one day and didn't know if it was night or day.


2) The fat lazy bum who does nothing all day, every day

You finally decided to get out of bed, but still, after that long strenuous, and difficult semester it was time to indulge.


3.) The last minute shopper

Let's be honest, you didn't have time to buy gifts in college with all that work and then you had to sleep. It was the earliest you could even go shopping.


4.) A little kid

Christmas brings out the little kid in you again and for a moment you're excited like when you were in the 1st grade and Santa was coming. SAAANTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!


5.) The respectful mature young adult

And then you had to compose yourself and act like the proper young adult that you are at the Christmas party, like this beautiful overly perfect picture of a family in this stock photo. After all, you're not that little kid anymore.


6.) The less than responsible young adult.


You probably got a little less than responsible afterwards. Maybe it was the punch, maybe there was some wine, maybe it was something else. Maybe you just couldn't take the "so what are going to do after college" questions anymore.


7.) The party animal

You had to get at least one big party in, right? You wouldn't be a college student without it, right?


8.) The low wage worker

Back to your low wage job, though. Except, you wish that you worked at an expensive enough restaurant where you had to dress this fancy. At least you're making money.


9.) The obsessed pet owner

Yeah, we've all seen all of your snapchats of your pets.


10.) The vacationer

You probably took some time to get away at some point.


11.) The young ambassador

And you likely had to take some time to go see some important speaker, travel somewhere with a relative, go to a conference, or some other miscellaneous important thing.


12.) The Growing Individual

And maybe over your extended break home with your parents you grew to understand them a little more. You're starting to see why they did the things they did for you, value them more, and see the wisdom that they have, despite the flaws that you may think you see from your younger perspective.


13.) The chauffeur

But your parents may have made you into a chauffeur for your younger siblings too.


14.) The Internet Junkie

And when you weren't doing any of that, you probably found yourself lost in the wondrous world of the internet. But really, you couldn't get enough of your pet that you had to look pets up online too?


15.) The old wise man.

With all that time off though, you probably took some time to contemplate life. Hopefully you came to a profound realization and weren't just sitting around wasting time, though.


16.) The budding changemaker

Perhaps from your meditations you came to an amazing idea or two, you budding changemaker you. You'll be changing the world and innovating in no time.


17.) The panicked student


But you had to put any of that off, because you took a moment to panic, remembering there were things that you actually wanted to get done.

18.) The college student

And finally, you were that guy who couldn't wait to go back to college. Man, what a break it was.

Have fun this semester!

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.
