Spring has sprung! That means new beginnings and what better way to start new than by clearing out all the crap that has been piling up all winter? For some, this may seem incredibly overwhelming, but, with these five tips below you'll have your space in tip-top shape in no time.

1. Start small

Make a habit of touching things once. For example, rather than throwing your food wrapper on your desk thinking, "I'll get it later," throw it immediately in the garbage. Making small, neat changes like this will make spring cleaning seem less daunting.

2. Switch to reusable supplies 

Disinfect your sponges, use only reusable containers, etc. with all of this reusing and recycling, there won't be as much trash and you're making the earth happy too!

3. Clear out the clothes 

You know all those cute fall/winter outfits that you wore once (maybe)? Get them out! Start packing up your lesser-worn clothing little by little so there's no so much to do all at once.

4. Make your bed first thing in the morning 

A tidy bed can change the entire feeling of the room. No one wants to come home at the end of a long day and see a disheveled mess of a bed rather than be able to hop right in. Spring cleaning will be a breeze with a tip top sleeping place.

5. Get rid of your old schoolwork

If you're like me, you just hopped from one semester to the next and now you're stuck with tons and tons of useless work. Throw it out! Even one notebook a day with de-clutter and refresh your space.

Of course spring cleaning can be stressful- especially for the lazy college student. But by incorporating these tips into everyday life, hopefully the task will seem so much less intimidating.

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.
