Winter Break As Told By Phoebe Buffay

Pheebs can do more than write songs about smelly cat.

Winter Break As Told By Phoebe Buffay

Every college student has a love-hate relationship with winter break. On one hand, you're finally done with waking up early and studying for finals. But on the other hand, you're separated from your roommates/best friends and left to answer grandma's age-old question of if you're seeing anybody. If you haven't learned by now, the hit-show "Friends" can be related to everything in life. In this case, the lovely Pheebs describes winter break for the college student.

You're finally free from finals and are trying to get home as quickly as possible

If you thought your professors' questions were annoying, you haven't unwillingly played 20 questions with your relatives

When you realize you're the first one of your friend group to come home

And you're so not ready to see your final grades

Already saying goodbye to your bank account as the holiday season approaches

Trying to dodge all of your mom's requests to do the dishes and your laundry

Your Christmas wish-list consists of one thing and one thing only: money

Knowing that it's never too early to be pumped for Christmas (aka the day after Thanksgiving)

Seeing every couple's Christmas and New Year's pictures

And then there's you

You begin to realize that applications for summer internships are due very soon and you have no clue where to begin

Trying to get your friends from home to hang out with you

So you begin begging your roommates to FaceTime you because you're bored and miss them

Making your New Year's resolution to start exercising more for the fifth year in a row

Realizing that it's already time to start re-packing for spring semester and you literally did nothing with your life for the month of January

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.
