Do you ever feel stressed out preparing for a vacation? If you answered yes to this question, then this article will help you. Here are just a few tips that will make it easier to prepare for spring break. Remember to relax and have a good time because before you know it, you’re on the plane ride coming back home.

1. Make a checklist.

It is very easy to forget what you need to bring on your vacation. When you have a checklist it makes it a lot easier to remember. Now you will never forget anything! There will be some items you won't be able to pack until the day you leave. For example a phone charger, makeup and toothbrush. The checklist will remind you!

2. Start packing a couple days before you leave.

It is good to pack in advance so you don't have to do it the day you leave. You're going to have a lot of other things to do.

3. If your airlines allows a carry-on, then bring another small suitcase.

A lot of the time your suitcase will be heavier at the end of your trip because of shopping. If your airlines allows you to bring a purse or backpack and a carry on, then I suggest you take advantage of that. If one of your suitcases is overweight, then you can put some items in you carry on.

4. Pack at least one outfit in your carry on.

Sadly there are times when your luggage can get lost. Make sure you have an outfit to wear if this happens.

5. Pack your toiletries in a plastic bag.

Sometimes because of the heat they can explode and this makes a huge mess. You can avoid this by putting them in plastic bags.

6. Try to tan before you leave.

You need to have a base so you won't burn. Even if it's cold outside try to get some sun!

7. Make sure you pack aloe.

Who am I kidding, you're most likely to get burned on the first day. The key is to have aloe because it is the only thing that will help the pain.

8. Do a detox cleanse.

Do not starve yourself before you go on vacation! The best thing for your body is a cleanse. It will make you feel good.

9. Save your money.

Make sure you have spending money! You don't want to be that friend that has to ask to borrow money.

10. Finish your homework before you go.

Don't waste time on your vacation thinking about all of the homework you have to do! Get it done before you leave and you won't have to worry.

11. Purchase a portable charger.

Don't spend your time on your phone the entire trip. Make sure you have a backup charger in case it dies and you need to contact your friends!

12. Schedule a fun activity.

Make memories with your friends and do something that's out of your comfort zone! Memories last a lifetime!

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.
