5 Traditions You're Never Too Old For: Easter Edition

Many Easter family traditions include activities meant mainly for children. It might be embarrassing to take pictures with the Easter Bunny at the mall with your little cousins or play the egg-on-a-spoon game outside. If you're in college, some of these may feel tiresome and juvenile, and you might question how you ever possibly enjoyed them. But there are a few traditions that you're never too old to love.

1. Decorating Easter eggs

You’ll never be too old to dye eggs and decorate them. From writing secret messages on the eggs in wax to dipping them in the perfect shade of dye, there’s always something a little fun about dying eggs.

2. Easter egg hunt

Easily, you can turn this into the ultimate game of search and find. Your parents used to hide Easter eggs (practically) in plain sight, but now you have the chance to give your siblings the egg hunt of their lives. Make it difficult, and don't worry if you lose an egg or two along the way. Well, it won’t matter if they’re plastic ones.

3. Appreciate the flowers and spring weather

Usually around this time, there are flowers blooming and spring weather is imminent. Even if you’re not religious, you can take time to visit churches with beautiful floral decorations and elegant landscaping.

4. Eating chocolate bunnies, Cadbury eggs and Peeps

This is pretty self-explanatory. We're never too old for chocolate.

5. Having dinner with your family

If you celebrate Easter, then there's a good chance you have a traditional family dinner to celebrate. No matter how old we are, we're definitely never too old to love a home-cooked meal with the family.

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.

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.
