5 Hacks For A Fun (And Safe) Spring Break

It's that time of the semester! Finally, a chance for you to relax and take a break from your constant school work and work load. Whether you're going on an all-inclusive trip or on a trip with just a couple of friends, you should make sure you prepare yourself for the week ahead. Here are some spring break hacks to help you survive the week!

1. Stay hydrated

Water will be your best friend through spring break if you're going to be hanging around the beach or pool all day. Make sure you remember to drink water when you wake up in the morning and throughout the day. The sun will dehydrate your body very quickly.

2. Pack lightly

Plan ahead on what you absolutely need to pack and make a list so you know you don't forget anything. Make sure the list includes essentials like any medications, sunscreen, sunglasses, deodorant, makeup, etc. Try and plan out some things on your vacation so you can plan what to wear on certain days.

3. Treat yourself

You deserve to pamper yourself this spring break. You have worked so hard this semester and deserve to treat yourself whether it be to a mani-pedi, a mini shopping spree, or a delicious meal. Do it because you deserve it!

4. Buddy system

No matter what happens, do not let yourself stray from your group. You may be in an unfamiliar place and you don't want anything to happen. Make sure to look out for your friends and stick together!

5. Relax

Spring break is meant for relaxation. Take the time to catch up on some sleep and clear your mind. Go to the beach and read a book you have been dying to read. You will realize how much you miss reading a book you're actually interested in since you are so used to reading boring text books.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

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.
