Whether you’re a vagabond or a gypsy or a broke college kid studying abroad, going home is one of the absolute best feelings in the world. Home means something different to everyone, but whatever thought the idea of home elicits in your mind is a welcome, warm one. I firmly believe that life is made more beautiful with a soundtrack to accompany it, and I’ve been feeling pretty inspired by the emails United Airlines has been sending me regularly to remind me of my upcoming journey. Here are 12 songs that make the best accompaniment for a long journey home:

“Home” - Phillip Phillips


“Home” - Michael Bublé

“Take Me Home, Country Roads” - John Denver

“Heaven When We’re Home” - The Wailin’ Jennys

“Hold On, We’re Going Home” - Drake


“Coming Home” - Diddy

“Home” - Daughtry

“Home” - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

“Party in the U.S.A.” - Miley Cyrus


“Born in the U.S.A.” - Bruce Springsteen

“On My Way” - Phil Collins

“Homegrown” - Zac Brown Band

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
