Sometimes going home is a lot more needed than you would think.

Why Sometimes You Just Need A Weekend Home
Amy Boucher Pye

We all know college is great and once we got here we thought we would never want to leave.

The stress of academics gets to be too much.

We have reached the point in the semester where it is right before spring break, commonly known as midterm week. With all these different papers and assignments due along with the six tests you need to take obviously students are going to be stressed out. Being at school is a constant reminder of all the different things that need to get done. Staring at your desk gives you anxiety and all you want to do is procrastinate and take a very long nap. Going home allows you to break out of that environment and truly relax.

You need to give your wallet, liver and brain a rest.

During your weekend home, you will be able to detox your liver from constantly partying on the weekends. You will also be able to save your wallet the heartache of spending money on drinks, food and other stuff you really don't need. Also just being home allows for a pleasant feel for your brain to just relax and not worry about anything else.

It's nice to sleep in your own bed.

Regardless if your bed is the same size as the one at school, it is nice to be in your own bed. You are in your own house, in your own room and it feels amazing. You feel comfortable and don't have to worry about your bed squeaking or falling off the top bunk. You don't know why but your bed at home is always a lot comfier than the bed at school, regardless of how many egg crates you put on it.

You don't have to worry about roommates, suitemates or neighbors.

Coming home to a nice quiet house is amazing. You don't have to deal with annoying neighbors who blast really bad music or stomp on the floor like elephants. As much as you may love your roommates, sometimes you need a break. When you start to spend so much time with each other you can get on each other's nerves.

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.
