Top 6 Things I Can't Wait To Get Home To This Winter Break

As the semester is winding down I have been thinking a lot lately about the things that I miss at home, I have had a fabulous fall semester but I am also super glad that winter break is just around the corner. So as I have been thinking about going home for the holidays I have compiled a top 6 list of the things I can't wait for when I go home after finals.

1. To spend time with my family.

This semester has been quite different for me than previous semesters. This time I got an on campus job that has required I stay at school most every weekend to work. Not that I am complaining at all because I love staying here on the weekends now that I am used to it but coming from a girl who went home every weekend its been a huge adjustment. So I just keeping thinking about being able to go home and spend more than 2 nights in my house.

2. MY FRIENDS

I miss them so dearly when I am at school. Don't get me wrong I am super blessed that a bunch of my friends came to the same school as me but at the same time there are a couple of them that are still 3 hours away and I miss them dearly.

3. My hometown

I never in my life thought I would miss anything about the teeny-tiny little town I grew up in but I have really started to miss the town, the people and just the atmosphere there.

4. My hometown work family

At home I work at a dental office that I miss terribly. The people I work with are more like family than just regular people. I miss being able to go and tell them all about my life and them give me the best advice and laugh at how funny my young life is.

5. The Mexican food

Don't get me wrong Richmond has some pretty great food but none of it in my opinion will ever compare to the Mexican food my hometown has to offer. Or maybe its just because they know my order when I walk in the door.

6. My parents

I would normally never ever admit this to them but I do miss them really bad when I am at school, not that I can't go without seeing them for a few weeks or anything like that but they are really my best friends and I miss them laughing at me for all the silly things I do at home or watching movies with them on the weekends. So yes, at this time in the semester I am the girl who can't wait to get home to spend time with her parents and I am no way ashamed of that, I'm actually thankful.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
