8 Things That Happen When You Come Home For College Breaks

Thanksgiving break just ended and Winter break is right around the corner. Let's take a minute to think about all the great things going home for break brings, especially for Benedictine College students crossing the Amelia Earhart bridge home for the holidays.

1. You can drink water out of the tap without worrying about being poisoned.

Let's face it Atchison water isn't the best.

2. You eat WAY too much food because it isn't from the caf.

3. You invite your guy friends over and they can stay past midnight without the fear of being fined.

You can actually watch a whole movie and have a good time with no quiet hours, visiting hours or possible fines.

4. You do more laundry than you've done all year and the dryer actually dries your clothes.


5. You eat whenever you want unrestricted by caf hours.


6. You spend as much time as you can with your dog before you go back to your sad dog-less dorm

Your dog is really excited to see you but not as excited as you are to see them! You live in a sad dog-less place when you're at school.

7. You feel like you haven't seen your friends in 10 years but its actually only been 2 days


8. You love being home, but can't wait to go back to school

Benedictine is your home just as much as your real home is!

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.
