Thoughts I Had During the First Week Home From College

So I know I haven't been writing that much in the past couple of weeks but ya girl is back! Finals week was brutal but I made it through and I'm back to put a smile on your pretty little faces. Now that I've had the time to get used to being home for winter break, I thought I'd share my thoughts that I've had for the first week home. So without further a do, let's get this party started.

Day 1 (The Arrival)

1. *Steps off the coach bus in NYC* "Oh my God! Civilization! People! Tall Buildings!"

2. "It's time to hit the ground running! I got sh#t to do and people to see! Let's Go!"

3. "I'm going to Chipotle. Chipotle is my life."

4. "I'm going to Shake Shack. The burgers are angelic."

5. "Real Spanish food is a must."

Day 2

6. "I'm going to BBQ's.The BBQ ribs are a gift from heaven."

7. "Wow. Food is at the top of my list of being home but have you tasted dining hall food? Exactly"

8. "I gotta go see my best friend. It's about to get crazy up in NYC. They not ready for us."

9. "I gotta go visit my old skating program, Figure Skating in Harlem. I practically live there."

Day 3

10. "I am so excited for this break. I have so many things I want to do."

11. "I gotta go to the ice rink and see my synchro team just so I can steal some of their ice time.

12. "Wow. I have a lot of plans I want to do this break. Do I have the money for all of this?"

13. "You know what? I might have to pull it back with all these plans I have. I live on a fixed budget and NYC ain't cheap."

Day 4

14. "F&ck it. I'm out to see SING at the movies and grab a bite to eat at Chipotle with my best friend."

15. "Wow. I'm starting to get a little bored at home."

16. "Let me go visit my skating program again. That should keep me busy."

17. "Netflix! I'm gonna catch up on all of my shows."

Day 5

18. "Alright, my days are starting to get a little repetitive. This isn't fun."

19. "I need a job. I have a dollar to my name..."

20. "HA!!! That last point was funny. I'm too lazy for an actual job."

21. "I'm starting to miss my friends back at school."

22. "Wait how long is this break?"

23. "It's official. I'm bored. Let's get back to school. Not for the work, but for my friends."

So yeah. These are a couple of thoughts that I've had for the first week of being home. If you guys have any thoughts you wanna share, put them in the comments!

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

University of Southern California

5068

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

2128

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.
