How to Spring Clean Your Life

It is March, and do you know what that means? Spring is well on its way. It is hard to get out of winter mode when your life is still in a state of deep, cluttered hibernation. Here are some foolproof ways to clean up your life so you can enjoy the sunshine and pool lounging with ease. Bring on the heat.


Clean your car. I don't know the reasoning behind long car wash lines and nice days, but it always seems like a good thing to do. Go get a car wash, vacuum and throw away all cookout trays and Gatorade bottles tossing around, and drive home in the nice weather with your windows down.

Throw away old function shirts. Especially for those seniors. How often are you going to wear those shirts in the real world? Sell them to younger girls in your sorority, or leave them in the chapter room with a donation box for your vodka soda fund.

Delete old numbers. Examples include your lab partner or that rando from your group project freshman year. Do you really still need their number in your phone? This goes for old hookups, too. Delete them from your phones and maybe you can, someday, delete them from your memory.

Find out what your actual bra size is. Proceed to throw away your 8,000 bras that do not match up with this number. I do not care how cute and lacy they are, they don't fit you and you don't need them.

Invest in new makeup. Try a few essentials, like great mascara, or replacing your favorite lip gloss that has been on its last leg. Throw away any eyeliner you purchased prior to 2013, or any item you bought for a theme party, because it is probably not doing you any favors. Clean your make up brushes, too; your skin will thank you!

Clean up your social media. Whether that means deleting your Facebook and going incognito for a while, or un-following that girl on Instagram, from your hall freshman year, whose multitude of selfies kind of piss you off. You do not need to get heated every time you refresh your Insta feed.

Get a degree audit. This is important, yet horrifying. Tired of not understanding your transcripts and which classes count for what, and if you will ever graduate? Go get a degree audit. Be prepared for tears or a painful convo with your parents. Remember, whatever panic or calm will ensue is the first step to getting your act together.

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.
