17 Things All College Students Do Over Winter Break

It's hard to adjust to home life after being at school for so long. Some people will settle into their old routines and their parents' home cooking as if they never left. Others will continue staying up until 3 a.m. and will eat junk from the nearest convenience store. Either way, there are a few things that all college students do while they are home for winter break.

1. Sleep!

2. Lounge around in pajamas and not shower for at least a day.

3. Half-unpack their clothes so they'll be living out of their dresser and duffel bag for the next month.

4. Exchange Christmas presents with friends from high school.

5. Go to the movies.

6. Go back to work at the job they had in high school.

7. Revel in the fact that they have a full fridge at home, but lament the idea that they have to make their own food.

8. Get all of their doctor appointments out of the way until summer vacation.

9. Text their roommates constantly to tell them how much they miss them.

10. Travel to see family.

11. Fight their siblings for the shower/bathroom.

12. Apply for jobs or internships.

13. Find something new to watch on Netflix and blaze through it in three days.

14. Watch only the Christmas episodes of their favorite shows.

15. Sit on the couch and watch Christmas movies for 24 hours.

16. Wish for snow to come.

17. Count down the days until they go back to their campus.

How have you spent your time home so far?

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.
