No Place Like Home...
Odyssey

“There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home...”-Dorothy. Before you know it you are already back home by just three clicks of your ruby red slippers, relieved that classes and finals are over and it's time to relax. Winter break is short, but sweet, so cherish the free time while you have it. It’s a great time to catch up with friends and live it up before it’s back to the books.

Here are a few ways to spend your break:

Ice Skating

-It may sound cliché, but gather a group of friends and head out to your local rink. The laughs will make for good memories and stories to tell.

Shopping

-As college students, we may not have a lot of money or really any money at all, yet we always find a way to spend it. Christmas is the season for giving, so grab your girls and hit the shops because stockings aren’t going to fill themselves.

Crepes

-The new craze is crepes. Look up local crepe places on your maps and you might just find your new obsession. There are so many different things to do with crepes, so make it a point to find your favorite crepe place this season.

Starbucks

-This is the perfect place to meet up with old friends and catch each other up on your lives since college has separated everyone. A warm coffee on a winter day while meeting up with an old friend is the best way to spend the day.

Girls Night

-Make this anything you can think of; whether that be a Netflix binge kind of night, or a night to go out and hang with all the girls. Either are a perfect way to distress after finals have taken a toll on us.

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.
