10 Things You Hear When You Come Home From College

It's the most wonderful time of the year...just not for answering a ridiculous amount of questions.

These are 10 things you hear when you come home from break:

1. "How is school?"

Such a loaded question, and there is not really enough words to explain it all.

2. "What have you learned?"

Other than learning that everyone is now suddenly an activist and that despite what your professors may think, you really can finish an assignment in one night, classes have taught me a few things.

3. "What are you majoring in again?"

Being undecided with people constantly asking about your major isn't always the most comfortable situation.

4. "How are those grades looking?"

Your grades are almost always the first topic of discussion.

5. "You need to help clean up this house."

Even though you haven't been home in months, somehow you're still expected to help clean up.

6. "Are you making friends?"

You may only have one, but at least that's better than none!

7. "Are you happy to be home?"

It's always a shock switching back into reality when you get home from school.


8. "We see you aren't missing any meals."

Some people never fail to remind you that the freshman 15 is very real, as if you already didn't know that yourself.

9. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

No grandma, for the 13th time, I don't have a boyfriend.

10. "Wait, are you new here?"

Going back to your old job over the break and all the new employees think you're new, too.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
