Why Fall Break Is Equally The Best And The Worst

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Quite a Bit Fonder

Why Fall Break Is Equally The Best And The Worst
Grandfather Mountain

We all know that Fall Break is just a mere few days away, but first we have about one thousand other assignments and papers going on.

The first pro is the fact that we all get home cooked meals. Who does not love having a fresh meal that was made out of love just for them? All your favorite foods and something that you do not have every week.

The con is that means almost all your homework needs to be done before you go so that means doing all kinds of homework all week all the time. Because let us be honest, no of us are going to do it when we are home unless it is an absolute necessity.

Another positive is the fact that we get our actual bed. No one actually knows how amazing that is. A bed that is actually your own.

A con.... Well I kind of cannot think of anymore....except for the fact of no twenty-four hour friends down the hall.

Another positive, you get to see your dogs. How amazing is that grand ole thing. Those sweet puppies, with the wagging tails. That is a darn pretty great thing.

Then on top of everything, you get to see your family and if that does not make a day, then I have no idea what would. Those kind of days and happenings are some of the best possible moments. Family makes every quite a bit better and the statement "absence makes the heart grow fonder" is quite possibly one of the most accurate things ever, but do not ever let homework get in the way.

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.
