After many semesters spent away from home, I've picked up on a few tips that all college students should follow every time they go home! You'll end up saving money and spending time with the people who really matter!


1. Get supplies!

Search your parent's house for anything you need. You'd be surprised how much better toilet paper feels when you didn't buy it yourself!



2. See everyone (especially the people who will give you money)!

Grandma. What's up, homie?


3. Go shopping!

Try to sucker your parents into... I mean ask your parents politely to take you shopping for things you may want or need back at school but don't want to spend your own money for.



4. Eat as much food as you can.

Devour as much free food as humanly possible. Who knows when you'll have the chance to eat freely again?



5. Relax.

Or chillax... Either one. Just do it while you're still homework-free!



6. Bring your dirty clothes!


In hopes that your mom misses you enough to wash them, because we all know how difficult it is for college students to do it themselves...



7. Make/go to doctor's appointments.


Make sure you're still in good shape after a very long semester!



8. Avoid talks about boyfriends by any means!

Because parents ALWAYS ask!



9. Avoid talks about how much fun you have away from home.

Because parents ALWAYS ASK... And you'd probably be going to community college if they found out.



10. Avoid questions about if you get drunk or not.

BECAUSE PARENTS ALWAYS ASK and will automatically assume that you're an alcoholic if you say yes.



11. Avoid questions about how much money you're saving.

Unless they'll give you some if you admit that you haven't saved any at all.



12. Make sure to spend enough time at home.

Don't forget to hang out with the people who make it all possible. Plus, your high school friends will likely forget about you by next semester anyway!


13. Leave before things get too boring.

The change in pace will start to kill you. Trust me.


14. Leave everything just how it was when you got home.

Your parents will be hype.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
