You have no idea how, but you have somehow survived the craziness that is finals week. Congratulations! Now, is the time you have been looking forward to all semester long - winter break. Only now that you're at home, most of your best friends are far way, you're kind of bored and your mom won't even do your laundry anymore...Here are 10 tips to help you make the most of your winter break!

1. Netflix marathons. Catch up on your favorite shows or check out the one your friend has been raving about.

2. Go ice skating! Even if it isn't below freezing where you are, you can look for an indoor rink.

3. Perfect your cooking/baking skills! Chances the your fridge at home is a bit more stocked up than what you have access to at college...use this to your advantage.

4. Read for fun. So much better than those textbooks for class...

5. Catch up with old friends. It can fun to spend some time with your old buddies if they're around.

6. Drive aimlessly; just roll down the windows and turn up your radio...pure bliss.

7. Make some cash...online, babysitting, etc. You'll be thankful for it when you start back at school.

8. Exercise! Now that you have some free time, start checking off those New Year's Resolutions.

9. Hang out with family.

10. Explore new areas of your hometown. Whether you're from a city or the country there are probably a couple new areas yet to be explored.

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.

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.

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.
