Winter Break, As Told By 'The Office'

Every college kid knows the excitement leading up to Winter Break. Even though you have to leave the school that you (hopefully) love so much, it's finally time to relax, recover from finals, and see your family and friends from home again. However, by the time Winter Break is coming to an end, your feelings might have changed.

1. You're done with finals and just eager to get home and out of school.

2. You're finally home and getting to reunite with everyone you love.

3. You realize that you're never going to unpack your suitcase because you're hoping your mom will wash your clothes and hang them up for you. Plus, you're only going to be home for a month so what's the point of unpacking?

4. You go out with your friends basically every night to make sure that you spend enough time together before you have to go back.

5. You get way too exhausted from all of the partying and decide to finally sleep for a good week straight.

6. It's finally Chanukah/Christmas and you can get some presents! But then you realize that you have absolutely no room to pack these things when you go back to school.

7. Spring Semester is right around the corner and you know that you have to start packing, but whatever show you're watching on Netflix is much more important.

8. There's only one week left until you leave, and it's time to start buying textbooks and any new school supplies you might need.

9. Now there's only two days left and it's actually time to start packing, so you recruit your family to help you get everything squished into one huge suitcase before you leave.

10. It's you last day at home and you have to say goodbye to all of the family and friends that you missed during the first semester. However, you know that you're super excited to get back on campus and see your college friends.

11. After your plane/car/train ride that felt like forever, you're finally back at college and you can get back to doing whatever you want and fall into your routine again.

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.
