5 Thoughts While Home For Spring Break
Blogspot

Not everyone gets to go on a beautiful, majestic, dream spring break vacation. Let's be real, if every time a vacation picture was posted on Insta was a dollar, you could probably afford to go to Mexico for spring break. Maybe next year. Everyone at home for spring break is just longing to go back to school after such an uneventful spring break. You're not alone, we're all thinking the same thing.

1. How can you afford this? - As we scroll through Instagram and the 100 snapchat stories, we are all wondering how you can afford this. We all complain at school how we're all broke college kids, yet here you are partying it up. I'll just be here on my couch virtually living it up in Cancun.

2. What did I do for fun before college? - Not all college's have the same spring breaks, which makes it almost impossible for there to be any parties of any sort. Yeah maybe you'll see some friends, but you all have no clue what to do with yourselves. How many times is it acceptable to go to the mall and not even buy anything? Your home town once you've left for college is kind of just lame at this point.

3. How many people can I avoid this break? - We all had those certain people we weren't the biggest fans of. The best part about college is being able to leave people in the past and not worry about seeing them, well until breaks. Hiding in your room and watching Netflix is the best way to avoid someone, and a great excuse to binge watch shows.

4. Why do I have 70 things due when I get back to school? - Spring break is not meant for work, it is meant for sleeping. C'mon professors get it together. We were on a break.

5. This weather is the opposite of spring break - Thank you mother nature for deciding now is the best time to have a snow storm. You couldn't wait another week so we could all have a snow day? Being snowed in during spring break is just not logical.

Everyone sitting at home during spring break losing their minds from boredom, don't worry. You'll be back at school living it up again and hearing about everyones fun vacations before you know it. Keep watching Netflix and stay strong.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
