Homesick, but have to stay on campus for a few days after fall finals? Make the best out of it by enjoying the perks of an empty campus!

1. No parties to keep you up at 1am

If you go to a "party school" like me, loud parties on the block are a possibility on any day of the week. Take this time to enjoy your unbothered Zzz's!

2. An empty gym

Not having to wait for any machines is total bliss. And not having to worry about people seeing you fall off the treadmill! Is that second one just me?...

3. A smaller chance of seeing that person you hooked up with last month, or an annoying classmate.

It does suck being away from your friends...but nice being away from people you DON'T want to see.

4. More time to wrap your gifts in peace

If you go home for a gift-giving holiday, spending a few extra days on campus gives you time to listen to your favorite holiday music and wrap gifts without your family walking in and spoiling the surprise!

5. Lots of hours to make $$

Even if staying at school to work wasn't your choice, make the most of it by working for your biggest paycheck of the semester. Think of it as a gift to yourself!

6. Much needed quality time with yourself.

It's normal to want to hop on the next train to see your family immediately after finishing your last final, but if you can't at least try to enjoy your time alone. You worked hard for months and deserve some relaxation! If you live with roommates, finally having some true alone time may be beneficial.

7. Time to do the fun, winter-y things you missed out on during the semester

Too busy studying to go ice skating, buy some hot chocolate, or explore your local Christmas Village this year? Do it now while you still can! The holidays will be over before you know it.

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.
