7 Reasons To Plan A Spring Break Trip
PEXELS

Spring Break is the most important element to any college bucket list! However, a spring break trip can be so much more than just a few days of partying on the beach. This spring break, make a promise to let yourself explore and see everything that the world has in store.

1. You will experience something new.

That "something new" may be an experience that changes your life. From traveling upstate for a few weeks to going somewhere warm, it will most likely be a new experience.

2. You will meet new friends.

When traveling, be open to meeting new people. Often they have different views, life experiences, and paths that challenge your own. This is a good thing.

3. You will bond with old friends.

If you take a trip with friends from school, you will most likely become closer than ever before. When people leave school, a bond is formed through joint experience and a lack of social expectations.

4. You will have some great stories to tell.

From long nights to exploring a hidden path, you are bound to amass a collection of fantastic stories to tell. Life is short so the best way to live it is fully.

5. You will have some amazing and terrible pictures.

Yes, some of those pictures will look great on Instagram. No, that one from the beach at 4am after a few Margaritas is not one of them. However, all of them are a reminder of that life changing experience.

6. You will figure out the places you love and the places you hate.

You may fall in love where you visit... or you may hate it. Either way you will have developed a preference and taste that will alter and shape your life.

7. You will grow as a person.

Creating new memories, meeting new people, and having new experiences will result in a better you. You shouldn't travel because you are young. You should travel because it keeps the soul young and growing.

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.
