I am a super-duper senior. By this I mean that I am on my 6th year of college, and finally graduating. That being said there are younger students that have experienced Spring break in ways completely different to myself. I never did the Myrtle Beach thing, or the Jersey Shore month of parties. I was a home stay, but this year, I'm flying the coop.

Even though I won't be doing anything 'exciting' for spring break, I won't be staying with family, be it my aunt who was closer to home when I went to school in PA, or my mom's house. I will be staying with a friend for a few days before taking off to CMA with the RIC radio station in New York City.

That being said, I have some expectations for what my week will entail. I do expect there to be lots of drunken young adults to take care of as well as some crazy attempts to have me cut loose. Being the Mom friend has some disadvantages, but not when people really want to party with you.

The strangest thing will be the fact that I'm not just staying at home. I'll be running around and doing things with people for once. Usually I just sit at home and read whatever I hadn't gotten a chance to read yet.

Now, this is not a complaint about being home, being at home is great; home cooked meals, and snuggles with siblings or pets. The hard part is scheduling. They still have work and school, and you don't, so there is a bit of an adjustment, but by the time routine is set, it's time to go back.

I don't know what this Spring break has in store for me. I know that it will be one that I have yet to experience, and that I will have a good time no matter what. But as my last Spring break, I can't help but feel that the pressure is on.

Tune in next week to see how it went, I guess. And wish me luck!

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.
