Currently, all my friends and family are clenching their teeth just to walk to their cars, turning their seat warmers on to the max, and trying to survive the final dreadful months of winter. Alabama is a great school, but don't get me wrong the summer is the cherry on top.

Although home may be far from home, I'm glad I can finally put my sweaters and boots away and pull out the cute tanks and live in my swimsuits!

Soak in the studies... and the sun

If I was home, I would be finishing up my semester hoping the sun would come out and deal with a little chill, but in Bama, I can get work done by the poolside. What I love is spending my time in the sun, finishing up homework, eating and napping in the sun. The sun is not only good for your skin, but for your soul.

Weekends at the pool.

Every weekend as soon as my homework is finished, It's always fun to spend the day by the pool. The best thing about Alabama apartments are the complimentary pools for all residents and all there friends to enjoy. If you are a real fan of water, take a trip out to lake Nicol and either sunbathe on the cliff side or paddleboard the day away.

Sunny Side Up

There is nothing like soaking in the sun with some great branch food. Either Sweet Home Food Bar has aesthetic outside seating. You can enjoy some rays and great breakfast at Another Broken Egg and sit by the river.

Run In the Sun

The river walk is the most beautiful place to walk and talk with friends, break a sweat with a quick run, or just sit, relax, and enjoy nature.

ICE CREAM

If you don't go to Ingram Farms on a warm day in Tuscaloosa, you are definitely missing out. Take a quick drive our to Northport and get a scoop or two of Bama's gem and best ice cream you will ever taste

Content Creating

I don't know about you, but its really hard to take pictures outside when it is below zero. If you go out to breakfast or just spending some time in the sun, snap a quick pic to show everyone why going to school in the South is the best thing ever!

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.
