Christmas break rocks, no doubt about it. Nothing says fun like relaxing and hanging out with family and old friends; however, 99 percent of the time, you leave your dorm room to go home and therefore leave your roommate. In many cases, this person is or has become your absolute best friend. What are you going to do without them for three to four weeks? The world may never know. The weeks (or maybe months) leading up to Christmas breaks are full of Christmas talk and shenanigans, and you know your roomie has been there for it all -- when break rolls around, the nonstop texting or Snapchatting begins. Here are 19 things you and your roommate have said to each other as Christmas break approaches:

1. "What do you want for Christmas this year?"

Typically answered with "a boyfriend or a 4.0."

2. "When is it socially acceptable to decorate for Christmas?"

3. "Which one of us is getting the tree?"

4. "I got you a stocking and I've already put some stuff in it."

No, most of it is NOT appropriate.

5. "I called your mom for Christmas ideas."

6. "I'm using Christmas money to buy you more Christmas gifts."

7. "To Roomie, Love *insert name here*."

8. "Do you think we'll get in trouble if we light a pine-scented candle?"

9. "Who cares, RA's are a bunch of Scrooges if they get mad about Christmas-scented candles."

10. "Do I HAVE to get you a gift? Isn't living with me enough of a present?"

"My presence is a present" -- Kanye West

11. "When are you leaving for Christmas break?"

12. "Please don't leave me for Christmas break."

*leaves anyway for Christmas break*

13. "Hey, I miss you."

14. "Maybe Santa will bring you for Christmas."

15. "When're you coming back from break? I miss you."

16. "Okay, so what trouble are we getting in for New Year's Eve?"

17. "I totally have to see you for NYE. No excuses."

18. "Do we HAVE to take down the Christmas decorations?"

19. "When is it socially acceptable to decorate for Christmas?"

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
