No doubt everyone is typically pretty anxious to get back to school after a nice long winter break, but there's no denying that being home definitely has some perks. And your sure to quickly remember them once your back on campus.

1. Shower shoes

For the past six weeks you've enjoyed a nice long shower without having to worry about your little piggies touching the bottom of the shower but you are now warmly welcomed back by the mysterious college shower floor.

2. Headphones

You've enjoyed the pleasure of binge-watching Netflix without any headphones, playing your show as loudly as you'd like. But now that your roomie has an 8 a.m., in order to keep the peace, you decide it's best to plug your those headphones in.

3. Walking to the dining hall

The conveniences of a stocked fridge right down stairs is really something you take for granted until you realize that it's a blizzard outside, you have no money to order in and the five-minute dining hall walk seems unbearable.

4. Car privileges

Although this may not apply to all, some of us don't have a car at school and have to rely on your lovely friends or the campus shuttle to get around so the little bit of freedom to cruise around where we want, when we want when your home is a nice change. Making it return to a bus packed to the brim.

5. Laundry

Whether you do it yourself when you're home or you leave to poor mom, you know your back when you go to switch your clothes from the washer to the dryer to find that you were two seconds too late and some has already thrown your wet clothes all over the counter so they could steal your washer.

6. Alarm clocks

Even if it's not yours chance are once school starts back up you or your roomies phone will be blaring some sort of annoying noise that will wake you up just in time for class. Something you haven't missed over break due to the luxury of sleeping in.

7. Living with your friends

When you're at home you probably got to see your high school besties all the time but nothing beats living with your best friends. You know you've returned when you can just yell into the next room when you're bored.

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.
