32 Thoughts Every College Student Has While Being Home For Winter Break

Winter break is a time when most college students get to go home for almost a month, sometimes even longer, and take a break from the stresses of the semester. For many, it is a blessing, a time to see family and friends, relax, and catch up on sleep. Also for many, it is just a reminder of how there is not much to do in your hometown.

You start missing your "home away from home" and start counting down the days until you return.

I've asked some current college students to share a few thoughts they have about being home for winter break. Here's what I got:


1. "Okay, maybe I missed being home a little bit."

2. "Let's see if I can still drive."

3. "Nope, now I remember how there is absolutely nothing to do in my hometown."

4. "When do we go back?"

5. "I miss my friends."

6. "What do I do with all this free time?"

7. "What day is it?"

8. "Should I go back to my high school?"

9. "Did I forget how to drive?"

10. "Where's my student id?"

11. "Do I unpack or live out of a suitcase for a month?"

12. "Why do I feel like a guest in my own home?"

13. "It's weird that I can't sleep in my own bed."

14. "Whoever was washing these dishes while I was away can keep washing them."

15. "At least the food here is good."

16. "How many more days until I go back?"

17. "If I get asked, 'So how was your semester?' one more time..."

18. "I thought working during break would help me make more money, yet somehow I'm still broke."

19. "Please don't let me see someone from my high school in here."

20. "Oh hey...how's school? Yeah can't believe we're done with our first semester already. Tell your mom I said hi too...bye."

21. "Maybe if I look in my wallet one more time more money will appear."

22. "Okay now I'm starting to miss dining-hall food."

23. "Might as well plan out exactly what I'm going to do the second I step back on campus."

24. "Oh sh*t, I completely forgot we had to buy textbooks again."

25. "Being bored at home is way different than being bored in college."

26. "I miss my freedom."

27. "Seriously, is it time to leave yet?"

28. "I cannot do another chore or I will collapse."

29. "My sleep schedule is now wrecked."

30. "I've literally run out of shows to watch on Netflix."

31. "I'm just going to FaceTime my friends at school...again."

32. "It's time to leave? YES."

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.
