What Thanksgiving Break Is Really Like For Us

Around this time in the semester, life starts getting a little hard for college students. We're all getting a little tired and schools getting to be a little annoying. I'd say I'm not just speaking for myself that we definitely all need Thanksgiving break. Here's what it is really like, for us college students.

1. Piling up all your laundry the week before so that you can bring it home and have your mom do it.

No way I'm going to wash my clothes when my mom can do it in a week. Just hoping I have enough socks and underwear to make it until then...

2. Realizing it's starting to get cold at school but a lot of your winter clothes are still at home.

Wasn't planning on bringing my winter jacket till break, so this will have to do.

3. It isn't worth it to buy groceries the week before you leave so you start eating whatever you can find to survive.

Does anyone have any milk to spare?? Or cereal?

4. Listening to your Professors speak the Friday before you're going home.

Should've just cancelled class in the first place, cause no ones paying attention.

5. Walking out of your last class.

We think were going to do all these activities on Thanksgiving break, but really you just plant yourself on the couch for multiple hours or days.

7. Thinking you're gonna get back in shape at home and doing the exact opposite.

8. Especially on Thanksgiving.

True.

9. Surprising your family cause you're actually expressing how much you've missed them.

10. Realizing Thanksgiving break is a TEASE and finals are next week.

The week goes by way too fast, and before we know it we just have to get back in the swing of things and start studying for finals. But hey at least we got home cooking and our comfy beds for a week.

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.
