It's tempting, but sometimes you need a little restraint.

11 Things To Avoid In Order To Graduate This Spring

It's finally time to graduate, but let's face it, after four years, there are so many things you want to do, and so many things you'd rather not. Although it might be tempting, there clearly are a few lines between you and that diploma, and they're called rules. Yes, it may be hard to decipher which ones you have to follow, and which ones are more like "guidelines." To help un-blur this confusion, here is a list of 11 things not to do in order to graduate.

1. Carrying party week activities and mind set over to dead week, or worse, finals week.

2. Skipping all your classes... and exams.

3. Finally letting your professor who thinks their class is your only class know how you really feel.

4. Creating your own personal Naked Mile.

5. Doing that one thing you always knew was against the rules.

6. Burning your books... before your final projects are due.

7. Taunting the campus police.

8. Carrying out a legally questionable senior prank.

9. Fighting your school mascot.

10. Taking a stroll through the "restricted section" of your favorite building.

11. And finally letting the administration know who's boss.

So although it may be tempting to do all things you never could before and exit the university in devious fashion, unless you want tens of thousands of dollars and all that time to go to waste, maybe you should refrain. Start instilling those adult-like responsibilities now, and let those temptations slide. Good luck, and happy graduation.

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.
