The Wonders of Winter Break

Not all wondrous, but much needed.

The Wonders of Winter Break
Andrew Dao

As winter break comes to a close, there are many things I probably could have done besides staying home 70% of the time. I have no regrets because half of that time was me trying to recover from the extraction of my wisdom teeth. Yikes. Other than that, I was mainly playing video games... No regrets at all.

The break was much needed for sure. One more final would have probably ended my life...just kidding haha, but you kinda get me. However, the greatest thing about break, at least in my opinion, is that It motivates me to go back to school. Staying at home, although relaxing, is very boring. There isn't much to do. Yeah, I could've gone out a little more and explored but I just didn't really have the time and money. If you are not excited to go back, I completely understand. I am a bit too comfortable back at home and I'm definitely going to miss it. Sadly for me, I won't be taking my Xbox to college because that would ruin my life. But anyways, it is for sure a bittersweet moment.

I would be leaving my privacy for being constantly surrounded by people.

I would be leaving the comfort of my parents for being more of an adult myself.

I would be leaving the satisfaction of driving for slower bike transportation.

I would be leaving my first home for my second home.

However,

I cannot wait to see the ocean and be so close to it.

I cannot wait to be surrounded by such loving people.

I cannot wait to do what I want.

Time goes by too fast to waste. If you still have break for the next couple of weeks, enjoy your family and friends. Enjoy the fresh home breeze or the breeze of wherever you are. Random story... Some guy stole my windbreaker I ordered online and I am so mad. Please don't steal It hurts, it really does. Anyways, hopefully I helped create a more positive outlook in the dawning of winter's end. Whether or not you relate to this entirely, I hope that nonetheless, you had a great break. Another perk of going back to school is that you will be motivated for the next break.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
