8 Questions You Ask Yourself When You Come Home From College
msecnd.net

Coming home from college for break is bittersweet. You are nervous but yet, you are so happy and content with it. You have so many thoughts about what you’re going to do and what you need to do. Here are wight things you probably think to yourself during that time at home.

1. Did Mom make dinner?

There isn't anything better than coming home to food on the stove that your Momma made. You have been living off the cafe and ramen for the past two weeks because you used all your money on your school card.

2. Where’s my fur baby?

You walk in the door and the first thing you see is your favorite fur baby. All you want to do is lay and cuddle. You've been living off everyone else's fur babies that are on campus or at your local pet store.

3. Where’s my best friend?

You have left your best friend for four months at least, and you're completely lost. You expect them to be at your house right when you get there. They most likely are, but if they aren't, they will be in the next hour or so. Missing your best friend is just as bad as missing your family.

4. How did I ever get by with a twin size bed?

Your twin bed is getting pretty old by this point. It's nice to lay in your own bed and sprawl out. It still has conforms to your body like it always has, unlike your school bed. You also don't have to climb up or down stairs to get to your bed.

5. What place should we eat at first?

You now have gone four months living off Cookout when you went out to eat because you were broke. Now you can go anywhere you want because your parents are paying. Those favorite restaurants you crave are finally now within driving distance. You don't even know what to do with yourself and all the good food you're about to eat.

6. What's my roomie up to?

You've eaten almost every meal with this person. You have spent late nights complaining about going to class the next day. You've shared a bathroom and learned the select times to take showers and now you have your shower all to yourself.

7. Should I take on more hours at work?

I am a broke college student and I need some hours. I can't get a job at school because I have too much going on so this at home job is my only hope to make some money. I need the money to pay for good food instead of Cookout all the time. But who am I kidding, it will probably still go to Cookout.

8. Do I need to bring these clothes back?

Living off of sweats and tshirts makes you think that you may need to bring back some normal clothes back to school. But then you get to thinking, Am I actually going to wear them? Probably not. Even though I have so many cute clothes and I wish I could wear them but that’s a lot of work to put into an outfit. My sweats are cute, right?

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.
