As spring break approaches, females tend to stress about having the perfect body. The gyms start to become more packed at all hours of the day and girls talk about cutting out carbs and sugar. BUT WHY?

To my fellow fabulous females, we are MORE than a “spring break body.” I understand if you want to make a lifestyle change and live a healthier life. However, there is no reason to cut out meals and spend hours at the gym just for this one week.

Here is a little reminder why. You are beautiful the way you are. If a boy or girl doesn’t like you for who you are and the way you look, then they don’t deserve you with abs and maybe a few pounds lighter.

You also only live once. Eat that bagel and enjoy that pizza! Spring break is one tiny chapter in an entire book. It is all about having fun with your friends! Just a tiny reminder, your friends don’t care if you have abs or not.

It is so upsetting that we live in a society that says you can only feel good in a bathing suit when you look a certain way. WHO MADE THIS UP? I think women look their best when they are radiating with confidence. Walk onto that beach with your strut and smile, and you will be the hottest girl along the water.

Happiness comes from within. Your body should not control your happiness. So just remember these thoughts, enjoy your week in the sun, and know you are perfect just the way you are!

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.
