Winter Break As Told By Parks And Recreation

Winter Break As Told By Parks And Recreation

Winter break, AKA, hibernation for college students, includes long naps, lots of food, and constant Netflix. Warning: giving college students responsibilities over winter break might cause mood swings, sass, and sarcasm.

1. When your mom takes you shopping.

Free clothes? Don't mind if I do!

2. Seeing your high school friends again.

Because you spent some of the craziest years of your life with those weirdos and you've missed them, you just can't contain your excitement when you see them again!

3. And then going on a crazy adventure with them.

Getting back together with your high school friends is a recipe for disaster, but what a beautiful disaster it is!


4. Eating your mother's delicious homemade cooking.

Sure, I'll eat vegetables! Wait, you mean this meat isn't pre-packaged? Wow!

5. Realizing how much your habits have changed in a few weeks.

I'm pretty sure that I unlearned everything I learned this semester. I also lost all interest in anything that can't be done while sitting down. But the good news is that I've binge-watched three different shows on Netflix!

6. Wanting to talk to your friends but also being ridiculously lazy.

If your phone rings and you're too lazy to get up and answer it, did it really ring?


7. When your parents make you schedule your own appointments.

Calling the dentist's office is worse than getting teeth pulled. Ugh.

8. But then remembering you get delicious free food all the time.

I guess that being responsible is worth all the food.

9. How you imagine you'll spend New Years' Eve.

(Not that you even have anyone to kiss, but that's fixable).

10. How you ACTUALLY spend New Years' Eve.

Why does it get so loud at 12:00 a.m. on January 1st? Why?

11. Going back to visit your high school and not recognizing anyone.

Where did all of these freshman come from?

12. When people ask what you've been doing all break.

"Right, well I've watched all of "Friends," "How I Met Your Mother," and "Supernatural." But don't worry, I manage to get a tight 12 hours of sleep every night."

13. Then remembering that you have to go back for Spring.

Reality hits you like a ton of bricks. Or a puck to the back of the head. Whatever.

Enjoy the rest of your winter vacation!

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.
