9 Things Every College Girl Heard From Their Grandma Over Winter Break
Disney

One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is getting to spend time with my family. It is always exciting when relatives come from out of town to celebrate Christmas and spend quality time with each other. From cooking delicious meals to simply walking around the mall together, there is no one I would rather spend time with than people I love the most: my family.

Inevitably, however, certain questions always come up when the family is together. After talking with my friends and other college students, there are some universal topics that constantly have their grandmas inquisitive. So, here are 9 things every college girl hears from their grandma over the holidays.

1. So, how's school?

It's good, Grandma. It's especially good now that I'm off for a month.


2. What's you major?

Communications... Same as last Christmas.

3. What do you plan to do with that?

Journalism... Also same as last Christmas.


4. Do you have any plans for the summer?

Seems a little early for that questions since it's DECEMBER, but as a matter of fact, yes, I got an internship to be a reporter over the summer.

5. So.... Got your eyes on a man?

I mean, there have been a few cute guys but no, not really. I've been super focused on school and my career so I haven't had too much time for all that.

6. You know, back in my day if women didn't get married by 22 they were considered to be old maids.

Well that's pretty unfortunate, Grandma. It's a good thing I'm only 19, then.

7. Because I really can't wait for great-grandchildren.

I'll keep that in mind. That will be quite a party, someday.

8. But you don't need to worry about all that now.

But you just said..... Never mind, I'll take it.

9. It's so nice spending time with you!

It's nice spending time with you too, Grandma. I love you so so much.

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.
