Thoughts every college student has while spending the Holiday's at home, as told by The West Wing and The Newsroom.

1. That Moment When A Conversation Turns Political.

You knew it was gonna happen, but you were still praying it wouldn't. Then someone brings up Hilary Clinton's emails and it all goes downhill from there.

2. When Someone Starts Talking About Jobs

I am not interested in getting a job and not going to grad school.

3. When Your Family Tells You Not to Go Out

I am an adult and I do what I want.

4. When Your Parents Wake You Up Super Early to Go See Family

You love seeing the fam-bam. You do not, however, love seeing the sun rise.

5. When Your Family Doesn't Agree With You On Where/When/What to Eat

Listen. Going to a Buffet at 5 pm is cool. I promise.

6. When Someone Asks if You Are Single

Yes. I was last year, and the year before that, and the year before that. If my relationship status changes, I'll send out a special announcement.

7. When Your Parents Tell You Leggings Are Not Pants

As longs as you wear longer shirts, they are pants. It is a fact.

8. When Your Facebook Friends Start Posting Their Engagement Photos

I'll just go buy another Santa hat for my chihuahua. Yeah. That'll make me feel better.

9. When You Are Accused of Being a Crazy Liberal

Yes. I have been brainwashed by the establishment. Thank you for noticing.

10. When You Get Home and You Know There Will be Real Food

After a whole semester of dining hall food, the good stuff tastes pretty darn delicious.

11. When You Realize You Will Have to Go Back

You will have to go back to campus and after having tasted the promised land, it will not be pleasant.

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.
