Perks Of An All-Girls Spring Break Trip

Perks Of An All-Girls Spring Break Trip
Maggie Jo Overton

It's spring break, y'all! And there are a million ways to celebrate it. Some people take off to exotic places with their friends for one last senior hoorah, some people go adventuring in the mountains, some people go home to decompress and spend time with their families, some people rage in Gulf Shores and some people just take some time to bond with their gal pals.

From experience, here are the very best parts of being on an all girls trip this spring break!

1. There's less pressure to have the "perfect bikini body."

Let's face it, everyone feels the pressure of having to be in a swim suit in front of hundreds of other college students. In the weeks preceding spring break, everyone is in a rush to eat clean and lose 20 pounds. But when you're going on a girls trip—who cares?! Your friends know you for the real you, and they don't care if you've got abs or flabs. You're allowed to just be comfortable in your own skin and not feel the need to compare because you know you are all beautiful people with wonderful personalities!

2. You can be as sloppy or as tame as you want and feel no regret.

There's no better feeling than feeling free enough to spend your day on the beach however you want. If you want to read all day and just relax by yourself, you go girl! If you want to turn up in the blazing sun and convince yourself you don't need sunscreen, more power to you! Either way, your girl friends will still love you so much forever, maybe even more because they can appreciate you doing your own thing!

3. You'll have the time to get to know each other even better.

There aren't too many great things about 10-hour long road trips, especially ones that involve the Mobile, Alabama traffic on a Saturday, but if I had to pick a very best part, it would definitely be the extra forced bonding time with my friends. As college students, we are all very busy and definitely have to find the time to just watch TV and relax with our friends. But when you decide to make spring break all about hanging with your gal pals, you've got all the time in the world! Use this time to be bold and really get to know each other beyond their favorite drink and how much they hate their math teacher. You've got a whole week!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
