In light of Spring Break being right around the corner, I have compiled a list of packing tips to help make the process simpler.

1. Do A Little Research

Whether you are going somewhere familiar or some place new, it would not hurt to check the extended weather forecast so you do not have any surprises.

2. Make A List And Stick To It

Packing can be overwhelming! You definitely want to avoid both underpacking and overpacking.

3. Roll Clothes

You would be surprised to see how much space you can save by rolling clothing.

4. Stuff Your Shoes

Stuff your shoes with socks and anything else that can fit in them.

5. Put Plastic Wrap Over The Top Of Bottles To Prevent Leakage

No one wants to open their bag and see that everything is covered in shampoo.

6. Keep The Heavy Stuff At The Bottom

Pack your heaviest items at the bottom of the suitcase to make it easier to roll.

7. Wrap Your Shoes

Put your shoes in a cheap shower cap to keep them from getting your clothing dirty.

8. Keep It Fresh

Put a dryer sheet in your luggage to keep everything smelling nice and fresh.

9. Keep A Change Of Clothing In Your Carry-On Suitcase

If you are flying, pack a full set of clothing in your carry-on in case any issues arise with your checked bag.

10. Make Sure To Take Chargers

If you are visiting another country, then make sure to get an outlet converter.

11. Double Check That List

Double check to make sure you didn’t forget anything and eliminate unneeded items.

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.
