10 Reasons Why You Can't Wait To Go Home For The Holidays

1. To see your holibaes!

Sure, going to college far away from home allows you to meet people who come from different cities, countries, and cultures, and as a grownup the friendships you make will most likely stay with you, but we know you can't wait to see some of the friends you grew up with! You know what we're saying. The ones who have embarrassing photos of you from 7th grade.

2. In situ laundry.

Are you tired of your biweekly visits to your nearest laundromat? Holidays is the season for you.

3. Home cooked meals! (or the food of your country, for us internationals...)

99-cent noodles never hurt anybody, but there is nothing quite like a home cooked meal.


4. DAT Dog.

City life often forces us to leave our animal friends with our families. The holidays is the time for cuddles. You know. Holding your dog tightly to your chest, whispering "I love you," as they struggle to escape from your grip.

5. Quality family time.

Once you actually pass your home's front door it is likely that you'll remember all the reasons why you left in the first place, but the brief period of time when you feel homesick and you hope for quality family time is heaven.

6. You no longer have to pay for things yourself.

When you are with family, financial responsibilities are assigned by age. If you are one of the youngest members of your pack, make it rain!

7. Hibernate freely!

With studying and working time for sleep is limited. So what if you spend 15 days in bed? We all need a break!

8. Hobby time!

Has it been six months since the last time you picked up your brush and painted something? Now you have the time to pick up from what you left.

9. No alarm clocks.

Who cares what times it is? It's not like you have school in the morning. Enjoy.

10. Basically cats!


No matter where you are, where you're going, and what you are doing there, try to enjoy the Holidays! We all need them.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
