10 Thoughts Of A College Student The Week Before Spring Break

Ah, yes. The highly anticipated spring break. The beloved week out of the long and arduous school year that is much-deserved by hard-working and studious collegians. Some folks venture down south to soak up the sun on the beautiful shores of the gulf coast. Some keep it simple and go back to their hometowns to catch up with the family, and more importantly, on some ZZZs. No matter how you choose to spend your break, we all still have to endure the week before.

1. Wow. How thoughtful of my professors to wait until the last minute to assign exams/projects/essays for this week.

2. OK, it's finally time to crack down on my diet and workout plan.

No carbs allowed.

3. You know what? It's just one week. I can get through this.

Next week I'll be doing whatever I want, ha!

4. I have to squeeze in that last minute pedi/mani appointment.

I haven't gotten one since last spring...

5. Let's see. I really need to start packing. Oh, wait. I have no clothes...

6. It's fine. I'll just go on a last-minute shopping spree.

None of the stores have spring clothes out yet? Oh. Is winter clothes on the beach acceptable?

7. It's only Tuesday and I'm running on empty. Spring break, where are you?

8. Yeah... this diet thing isn't working out.

I like food too much.

9. I can't find the ability to focus because my mind is too consumed by what shenanigans I'll be getting into next week.

10. My body isn't prepared for what it's about to go through next week.

Or is it?

Ultimately, the suffering we endure the week before is well worth the fun and relaxation we'll experience during spring break. It'll be here before you know it.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
