Things I Miss Most About My Family

So this weekend was Parent's Weekend. It was so great to spend time with my loved ones again and share this new adventure with them. But it got me thinking about what I had missed most about my family.

1. My mom's hugs.

You know those hugs where the world just stops and everything is right. My mom gives hugs like that. Whether it's her showing me her pride and excitement for me, comforting me, or just giving me a hug goodnight, Mom's hugs are home.

2. My dad's jokes.

Ok, so I know I rolled my eyes and swore that he wasn't funny. But I love his Dad-jokes, Even the dumb ones and the ones he makes about farts.

3. Talking with my sisters.

My sisters are my best friends. We talk about everything and I've missed being there to hear about their day and tell them about mine. Yes, we Snapchat, text, call, and Skype but I missed hanging out with them.

4. Extended family get-togethers.

My whole family is super close and one of the things I miss most is being able to pick up my little cousins, chat with my aunts and uncles and listen to my grandparent's stories.

5. My pets.

Unfortunately, pets aren't invited to Parent's Weekend, so I still miss my furry babes. I miss puppy kisses and the cat laying on my face to wake me up. But I'll get to see them soon.

To my family at home; I love you guys! I can't wait to see you again! And to all my fellow college students; hang in there, homesickness sucks, but it'll get better.

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.
