11 Things Everyone Says On Spring Break

It's a marathon, not a sprint so make sure you pace yourself.

Spring break is upon us and everyone is getting excited! Spring break is the time of year where you gather all your friends, pack your suitcases, and head off to your destination. Here are a few things that people typically end up saying on their trip.

1. "Are we there yet?"

If you are traveling to your destination by car then I'm guessing you have said this a time or two.

2. "I'm not ready to be seen in a bikini."

Spring break comes around the corner fast and there is never enough time to get that desired beach body that everyone wants, but liquid courage can help with that.

3. "Bringing a fanny pack was the best decision I have made."

You can only carry so much in your two hands and having an easy-access bag is always handy. Bringing a fanny pack is a good decision because it can carry all the necessities like hair ties, chapstick, gum, cash, your ID, and sunscreen.

4. "Wow, did everyone go swimsuit shopping at Target this year?"

Everyone knows that target is the place to go for inexpensive, trendy swimsuits but when you see 5 girls walk by you in the same swimsuit you are still in shock.

5. "I actually need to put sunscreen on today."

Nobody enjoys sunburns, they are uncomfortable and itchy. One of the only ways to prevent a sunburn is applying sunscreen. Having a sunburn won't stop you from going out but you will have a better time if you aren't drenched in aloe vera.

6. "It's a marathon, not a sprint."

Saying it's a marathon, not a sprint versus actually following the saying is two completely different things. Actions speak louder than words so make sure you pace yourself or else you will hate yourself in the morning (or even at 2 PM).

7. "I can't wait to take a nap."

When 3 PM or 4 PM rolls around it's time to head back to the hotel to take a quick nap. A nap is essential because without one you won't be able to have as much fun at night.

8. "Time to rally."

Rallying is extremely important to successfully do spring break. At the time rallying might seem like an impossible task but once you get out of bed from your nap you are golden. Chug some Pedialyte, get dressed, eat dinner, walk out the door, and never look back.

9. "Where did my sunglasses go?"

Losing a pair of sunglasses is devastating and we all have the potential to do so. Bring an inexpensive pair with you on vacation so when they go MIA, it's not the end of the world.

10. "Sorry, Mom and Dad."

Spring break has the potential to influence bad decisions. Would Mom and Dad be proud of what I'm up to? Probably not.

11. "I'm ready to go home."

Spring break is all fun and games but it has to come to an end and it's probably time to go home anyway. The memories will last forever but the bruises are temporary.

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.
