11 Thoughts You Have Leading Up To Spring Break

Let's go to the beach-each, let's go get away.

11 Thoughts You Have Leading Up To Spring Break

1. You did it. You booked your trip. Time to party!

You did an adult thing that is also a fun thing. You can't wait to go away for a few days to de-stress from college life!

2. The countdown begins!

"Only 50 days left. 40. 35..."

3. The thought of escaping the frozen tundra of your college campus is the most appealing thing about the trip.

"I bet there isn't any snow at *insert destination here*"

4. You constantly check your weather app to see how much warmer your spring break spot is than here (FYI it's way warmer).

"It's 72 degrees at the beach right now and i'm here listening (read: sleeping) in the same class as every week."

5. You start daydreaming of the ocean in class.

"I think I can hear the waves crashing and the seagulls chirping."

6. The closer it gets the more you can't help but talk about it.

"So did I tell you where i'm going for spring break? Oh, really? Like four times? I'm gonna say it again so you can remember and be jealous."

7. You pack your bag days in advance with things you very obviously won't need.

"Of course i'm gonna need this sundress that I haven't worn since 2010 that is not appropriate for any social gathering ever."

8. Yet you have a constant worry that you forgot to pack something.

"I went through my list and my bag like 10 times. There is no way I forgot anything, so what's nagging me?!"

9. You scrounge and save up every dollar so you are covered.

"Okay so I found $1.06 in change in my car, that can buy us lunch at the beach right?"


10. You realize you have a 8+ hour drive ahead of you (cause you're too broke to afford a plane).

"I gotta map out places for bathroom breaks and food. Leg stretches too."

11. Spring break is finally here! Go out and enjoy (FYI: The thing you forgot to pack is your sunglasses).

"Yes! The beach, the waves, the sand, the sun! Where are my sunglasses...?"

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.
