Making The Most Of Your Spring Break

You don't need to fly to an all-inclusive resort in Cancun to have a good week.

Did you procrastinate too long and still don't have plans for spring break because you never got around to actually booking the hotel? Are all the flights sold out? Or simply can't afford to fly to an extravagant destination like Mexico? If this is you, don't worry. You can still have a fun and enjoyable spring break without the crazy costs or planning.

You can go on a road trip. With gas being so cheap lately, you could drive pretty far for a low cost. In fact, you could drive to Florida last minute and stay in an inexpensive hotel and just spend a few days on the beach. Or if you don't want to be stuck in the car for 10-plus hours, go somewhere in North Carolina, like Charleston or even Wilmington. Sure, it's not as warm as Florida or, say, the Dominican Republic, but it would still be nice.

If you're simply out of options and have chosen to just return home for spring break this year, it's not the end of the world. You can still make it fun! Take day trips with a friend. Visit cool places in your state that you've never been to before. Go to a museum. Try a new restaurant. Explore and go for a hike on a trail you've never been on. Try to start a new hobby. Or, if they're close enough, you can visit other friends at their colleges if they don't have the same spring break week.

And if you can't do any of these, just take the week to relax. Take advantage of the free time. You've been so busy with school that you could probably use this time to focus on yourself. Treat yourself to a manicure or a massage. Go to the gym. Catch up on sleep. Hang out with family members that you don't get to see as often anymore. No matter what you end up doing for your spring break, I can guarantee you'll have stories to tell when you get back to school. Okay, maybe they won't be about getting blackout on the beach with a ton of other college students, but if you try to make the most of the week, you'll still appreciate it.

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.
