Does What Happens During Spring Break Stay There?

Does What Happens During Spring Break Stay There?
Angelica Catusco

Your spray tan is probably fading, you might be slightly hung-over still and you are for sure not ready to take that Biology test on Friday.

Well, it’s the Monday after spring break and most of us look more drained than we did when the break started. But, hey that’s what spring break is all about.

A break from school but not a break from our social lives. Spring break is just a sneak peek of what our summer will look like- without the fake tan of course.

Some of us will be on cruises this summer, partying on Florida beaches or will be hard at work at an internship. Let’s just pretend everyday of summer will be as adventurous as our nights out in Mexico.

After endless tequila shots and breakfast burritos, it’s time to hit the gym harder than we did pre-spring break.

You might be suffering from a cold right now and trying to get your immunity back up after sleeping for less than five hours a night for four days in a row. Eat some oranges, take your Dayquil and be ready for Saturday night.

Even though we might dread classes starting again, we are secretly relieved to be reunited with all our friends in one place. Plus, getting back into our routine and gain a bit of a social life is always a good thing too.

If you had a successful break, you probably have random people added on your Snapchat, have questionable messages from your best friends and some blurred out memories of you living your best life.

Some of us might even be thankful to safely be back in the United States without the fear of losing Ray Bans, passports, IDs and dignity.

My friends and I thought in Mexico we would be saying “uno mas” more, but instead, our most used phase was “no gracias.” As much as we enjoyed meeting new friends, sipping on pina coladas and the endless amount of carne esada tacos- we are happy to be back home again.

I’ve never been more thankful to be safe with my friends and recalling memories of our fun girls trip out of the country.

We all have memories we will never forget or fully remember, but that’s just part of college.

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.
