7 Things I Will NOT Miss About College Life During Winter Break

With the end of the semester quickly approaching, many of us will soon be returning home for winter break.

As glorious as college life can be, it does have its downsides. Here are 7 things that I definitely WON'T miss about college life during winter break.

1. Campus Food

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm sick of eating the same thing everyday for every meal (which is usually pizza, chicken tenders, or a bagel). Food from home just tastes better.

2. Communal Bathrooms (And Shower Shoes)

Having to wear shower shoes because you're sharing a bathroom with 30+ other people you don't know is probably the most annoying thing ever. ESPECIALLY when it's a girls' bathroom and none of them clean any of their hair out of the shower. A month of shower shoe-less showering sounds heavenly.

3. Morning Classes

No more early morning alarms to go to a Gen-Ed you're only taking because you HAVE to - at least for another month.

4. Not Being Able To Go Wherever, Whenever

One of the best luxuries at home is having my car readily available to take me wherever I want to go. Even though college campuses are pretty big, you can still feel trapped.

5. The Uncomfortable Bed

Finally being able to sleep in your own bed (for longer than a weekend) after a long semester of sleeping in an uncomfortable college dorm bed is going to be amazing.

6. Sharing A Room

I love my roommate just as much as the next person does, but it's going to be so nice to have my own room back and to be able to have my own personal space again.

7. Always Having Such A Busy Schedule

As college students, we're supposed to sleep for 8 hours a night, have 8 hours of work a day, and have 8 hours of leisure time, but when does that EVER happen? Balancing your school work, social life, and mental health is not an easy task. A month-long break should be exactly what we all need to regain some of our sanity.

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.
