If your relatives are driving you crazy, or if you're just feeling more than a little bored over break, here's a list of things to do over break to keep yourself sane.

1. Reconnect with old friends

If you're still on speaking terms with your friends from high school, use this time to get to know what they've been up to!

2. Sleep in

I had an 8:30 class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays this semester and cannot wait to sleep in.

3. Get a head start on your resolutions

New Years is almost here and you can actively try to live your best life until then. I personally am not going to do this because it's cold outside and I want to be lazy, but if you want to be healthy then go right ahead.

4. Learn how to cook (or just try a new recipe)

As someone who likes to pretend to be an adult sometimes, nothing makes me feel like I'm doing it well than cooking. And if it ends up being a bit of a failure and what you tried to cook ends up on fire, at least you get a good story out of it.

5. Make snow angels

If your area has snow, please utilize it because no one is ever too old for snow angels.

6. Read a book or seventeen

If you don't want to be completely out of the habit of reading by the time you return to school, just read one book over break and you'll feel very ~educated~ because you're reading when no one is making you.

7. Completely rearrange your room

This is a fun way to waste a lot of time and still feel productive. I like this one because I found approximately thirty pencils hidden around my bed and now I don't have to buy new ones for next semester.

8. Relax

I know this is a very generic command, but next semester things are going to get a lot very stressful again, and winter break is a great time to just be yourself without any expectations.

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.
