Those Who Make Our Thanksgiving Break So Looked Forward To

Time for a well-deserved break, reuniting with those you missed and with those who you don't necessarily miss. Although it sounds horrible, you know it's true; whether it be those you went to high school with or your family members that will attack you about your future, you know that there's someone you don't particularly look forward to seeing.

Your best friends come back from school, the excitement is indescribable. Seeing some of them for the first time since Columbus Day doesn't seem too long ago; for me, it feels like it's been a different lifetime. Laughing, reminiscing and filling each other in on the newest drama and news is the highlight of our break. Though we've been away from each other for so long, it's like we never left.

Going to parties with friends we graduated with is bittersweet. We haven't had seen them since August, some since graduation so that reunion is always a blast. We don't realize how much these people influenced you while growing up, and when you're back home...it immediately hits you.

Thanksgiving break sometimes feels like a tease. Professors end your last class before break with "have a nice thanksgiving break;" in reality I'll be in the library Friday-Sunday doing work. Finals are just around the corner so that means you're in the homestretch to an even longer break and reunion with your friends! A whole entire month of freedom, fun and more catching up.

This semester flew by, but at the same time, can it hurry up for three more weeks? I'm exhausted, my brain is fried, and I'm ready for a well-deserved break where school isn't a thought or a concern.

Thanksgiving is so nice and so looked forward to. It goes by quickly but it is so enjoyed.

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.
