I'm still excited, but not that excited.

Why I'm Not THAT Excited For Winter Break
homeyou.com

I mean, I'm still excited to go home and will enjoy it..for about a week. It's not that I don't love my family or don't enjoy getting to see my high school friends, but it's just weird to me. I'm a sophomore and I've had so many changes in my life, that going back home is weird.

One of the biggest changes is that I have actually moved out of my family home. I am renting a house here in my college town, will be living here next summer, and have experienced so much freedom to living on my own. Then to go home for a long period of time is something I do not look forward to. There's a weird unspoken question of "what can and cannot I do" at home that never seems to be answered. I feel like all college students feel this in some way.

Another reason of why it's weird to go home is that I've changed so much as a person. I grew up in a town of 150 and graduated with a class of 7. I didn't get to experience much. Being in college has provided me with so many opportunities to experience new things that it's changed me so much. It's weird to go back and hang out with everyone to only realize that you're not the same person. You still get along and enjoy catching up, but really the only thing to describe it is that it's really weird. Weird to realize how much you changed since you last saw someone.

This isn't to say I do not want to go home, it's more to say how weird it can be for a college student. I'm excited for the break from classes and to have a home cooked meal for the first time since Thanksgiving. I'll just be really excited to come back really quickly.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
