10 Thoughts Every College Student Has While Packing For Christmas Break
Emma Grace Mayfield

There are so many mixed emotions that go through a college student's head as they are preparing for the long-anticipated Christmas break. It is such a crazy time of year and as a student, you are coming off of one of the most stressful times of the whole semester....finals. So one can only imagine what is actually going on in one's mind but here is just a few...

1. I can finally take a break!

You go and go and go all semester trying to keep up with all your classes, demanding schedule, and the little social life you have left that after finals you can actually relax and take a deep breath!

2. I get a whole month of home cooked meals!

You're a poor college kid who has been eating Top Ramen for three meals a day for the past six weeks and you can't wait to get home to mom so that you can experience what actual food tastes like again.

3. I can't wait to sleep in my own bed!

No matter how comfy your bed is at school, nothing beats your bed at home!

4. I'm so ready to see my family!

No matter how long it has been since I was able to go home or see my family, I am always ready to see my family.

5. I have so much catching up to do with my friends!

Being away from all my hometown friends for a whole semester allows my whole friend group to have tone of things to catch up on and always means a good time!

6. I finally get my hometown food I've been craving!


Nothing beats a hometown independent restaurant! I always seem to want it more when I am away at college.

7. Wow, I've missed my dog!


While you are at college you are so busy you never know how much you miss your pets till you have a chance to take a break and actually think about them.

8. I cant wait till Christmas!

While you are studying for finals you have no recollection of the day, year, or time so, once they are over you can finally realize just how close Christmas is and can get excited about it!

9. What am I going to for a whole month?

What am I actually going to do for a whole month at home? There isn't anything to do there.... I am going to be so bored.

10. I can't wait to get back to my little sweet college town.


There always comes a point when you have been at home long enough and you just can't wait to get back to your college town.


It is always nice to be able to go home and take a break but no matter how good home is, your always ready to get back to your sweet college town!

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.
