Since it's a weekend trip, don't go too extreme. Go to a big city an hour or two away, and I promise there will be bunches to do and the setting will be completely different environment from your college town. Choose a place that's within driving limit so you and a friend can split the gas fare.

Who to bring

Weekend trips are fun, but do require planning. This is why I personally would keep it to just a significant other or a best friend. Having a more intimate plan will ensure that it actually happens and that y'all can see and do everything you want to.

Where to stay

Definitely book an AirBnb. Not only are there promos for first time stays, they run cheaper than hotels. You can find a nice place to stay right in the middle of downtown! Don't believe me? Last weekend, my boyfriend and I stayed in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City for less that $200 for 3 nights. Get on there!

What to do

For sure plan ahead. Do some research and don't show up without a couple of things in mind. Research the surrounding restaurants, events, bars, etc. Just spending this extra amount of planning ahead of time will let you feel like you know the area a little more.

And always remember...

Have fun! This is YOUR trip. Do what you want to do, eat where you want to eat, and explore what you want to explore. This is only a 2 day trip, so make it your own incredible adventure.

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.
