10 Things College Students Do When They Get Home For Winter Break
The Odyssey Online

Going home for winter break and not having to worry about school for a few weeks is the one thing that keeps you sane during finals week.

The prospect of having some time to be lazy and not have responsibilities is both comforting and exciting. Every college kid knows what this hope feels like - and every college kid has one thing in mind that they cannot wait to do the second they get home. Here are the top 10 things college kids are planning to do the second they get home.

1. Play with your dog

Let's be honest... no one is more excited for you to be home than your dog.

2. Spend time with your family

Don't deny it, you missed them too.

3. Cry tears of joy

The excitement of being home can be quite overwhelming

4. Collapse on your bed

Dorm beds just don't cut it anymore

5. Eat a home-cooked meal

Mom's cooking > Caf pizza

6. Take a bubble bath

Lush bath bombs anyone?

7. Binge-watch mindless T.V. shows

Because now you can blow 12 hours of your day on nothing and not feel guilty

8. Bake chocolate chip cookies

There is something oddly comforting about the smell of chocolate chip cookies

9. Unpack your car but leave everything in your living room and never actually put anything away

It is just not worth it to really unpack when you can just leave all your stuff scattered around the house

10. Burn your old homework

Don't deny it; you want to light those calculus assignments on fire and watch them burn. Just the thought of looking at them anymore makes you cringe

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

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.
