Should I Unpack My Suitcase?

It's Another Break and I'm Clueless

Should I Unpack My Suitcase?
Huffington Post

It's always so awkward. No, I mean it. It really is. That unanswered question that you debate over for so long you never actually get an answer.

Another break has rolled around once again and you find yourself packing to go home. You're just bursting at the seams to finally get some down time and spend it with your family, or more specifically your dog.

When you finally arrive home you find yourself standing over your suitcase questioning if you should unpack it. Eventually, you just shrug it off and move on.

Suddenly week(s) have passed and you realize that you never unpacked. "Next time I think I'll unpack," but next time it doesn't happen either.

So should we unpack between breaks or not?

I think that the big thing is that people don't want to have to go through all their clothes again to find the ones they brought with them. It is easier during a season change because you are able to drop clothes off and pick up some new ones. If you do unpack it may also be easier to forget clothes that are important.

A good thing about unpacking though is that you don't have clothes in bags getting in your way. It is much easier to navigate around your room this way as well. Another good thing is that you are able to detect what is clean, and what isn't, a lot easier as well. We all do want to be wearing our cleanest clothes.

Personally, I don't think even the smartest scientists will be ever able to answer this questions. It is one that will go down in history. So do you or don't you unpack your suitcase? Challenge yourself next time you find yourself at home to do the opposite. Sometimes it can be quite fun to switch it up.

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.
