Things We Love About The Holidays
plusquotes

As the Holiday season is in full swing, there are so many things that each and everyone of us has to be thankful. Whether it's an education, family and friends, a job, or even your dog that you're a bit too attached to, everyone has his or her own things that bring them joy this time of year. Whether your Holiday break is close to a month, like most college students, or if it is only a long weekend, we all look forward to the Holidays every year for the happiness, food, and rest that it brings us. Here are some of the best things about the Holidays that never seem to change.

1. Literally having no work to get done.

One of the best and strangest parts about the Holidays is being a student and being in-between courses and having no responsibilities. Live it up, it won't last long.

2. Catching up with your high school friends.

There's nothing like catching up with hold high school friends to see who is one step closer to changing the World and who's one step closer to getting that Mrs. Degree.

3. Finally, it's socially acceptable to pull all-nighters binge watching your favorite Netflix shoes again.

Because at school, if you're not studying then you should be going out. Winter break is the perfect time to pull all-nighters watching mind-numbing TV.

4. Want to stay in your pajamas for 48-hours straight? As long as they are Holiday themed you are good to go.

Want to eat all the Holiday food in your pantry and not be judged for it? As long as you're wearing Holiday themed PJ's that's 100% socially acceptable.

5. The beautiful (and occasionally tacky) decorations.

We all have that one house in our neighborhoods that's so beautifully decorated. And then there's that one house with about 10 Nativity scenes, strobe flashing lights, a hologram Santa, and a fake Frosty the Snowman all on their front porch.

6. CHRISTMAS SONGS.

If you can sit here and say you don't smile a little bigger and sing a little louder when Frosty the Snowman comes on the radio for the first time during the Holidays, then you are lying.

7. Finally being able to sleep in your own bed, in the pitch black, and not feeling bad about all those accidental naps that are about to happen over break.

This one speaks for itself. Everyone is sleep deprived before the Holidays, but luckily, no one is judging you for that accidental 4-hour nap during the 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.

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.
