Thoughts Of Confusion During Break

"I'm not in high school anymore?"

Thoughts Of Confusion During Break

Honestly, being at college for a few months and then, thrown back home is really bizarre. In general, being at home can trick you into thinking you've never even left for college and can cause a major identity crisis. Once you remind yourself that you're not in high school anymore, you have to try to catch up on all the changes that have happened since you've been away. Here's a list of all the confused thoughts we have when we're home from college on break:

1. When your house is painted blue -

Didn't our house used to be yellow?


2. When your car isn't in your driveway because your parents sold it - Where is my car???

3. When you wake up at 10 A.M. on a Monday and forget you're not in high school anymore - Wow, I'm so late. Why didn't my alarm go off?

4. When your mom tells you that they tore down your favorite breakfast place - What does she mean by "tore down"?

5. When you forget that your little sister actually continues to age even when you're away at college - Wait you're 16 now? I thought you were still 12?

6. When you accidentally go through a new stop sign - Where did that come from? Who put that there?

7. When your ex-boyfriend doesn't text you that day - Why hasn't (insert your ex's name) texted me? ... Oh yea, it's because we broke up.

8. When your high s

chool football team wins - Of course they're good after we graduate.


9. When you see a boy that was a freshman when you were a senior - Whoa, that boy used to look like a 5-year-old and now, he's actually a hairy man.

10. When you see a girl that was a senior when you were a freshman - Is that a baby in her stomach?

11. When you go to a party - Wow, everyone's so fat.


12. When you check your bank account - Ok, how am I going to trick my parents into giving me money? ....

13. When your mom tells you that you're not allowed to come home the next break because they have plans - Honestly, am I the only one who has no life?

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.
