What to do Your First Weekend Home:

You just can't help it.

What to do Your First Weekend Home:
Emma Jinno

So, you've suffered midterms, gross showers, and mediocre food for a good solid seven weeks now, and its finally that time where you get a nice break to escape this life and go live your second one at home. Here's how to spend and enjoy that time optimally:

1. Eat good food and of course, add it to your snapchat story and brag to your other friends still at college how you got to eat Green and Tonic while they eat caf food.

2. Post an obligatory picture with or just of your pet. Show them some much needed love since you were away for so long.

3. Try to forget about all of the assignments you were given, but then remember that they exist last minute and do it at the last second. (No image available, mainly because I left my textbooks at school)

4. Go shopping! Especially those of us who don't have cars on campus, buy all your necessary goods in advance so you wont have to worry about them later... And clothes. Always buy extra clothes.


5. TEXT YOUR FRIENDS! See who's home and reconnect and rant about roommates, professors, maybe even lab partners. There's nothing better than laughing at (or with) each other.


6. Steal nice sweaters and jackets from your mom and pack them quickly before she notices they're gone.


7. Enjoy your bed and shower, and remember that 3x5 shoebox you now live in and how you took your room and showering shoeless for granted all of these years.


8. Annoy your siblings and teach them who's boss again.


9. Visit your favorite and least favorite high school teachers... Reminding them that you graduated and are doing just fine.


10. Spend quality time with those people who raised you because chances are they miss having to drive you around or yelling at you to pick up your clothes off the ground.

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.
