"Post Spring-Break Depression" Is Realer Than You Think
NBC

The worst has come, the 5-day hangover you've been avoiding has set in, dehydration has hit and most importantly, the depression of the best week of your life is coming to an end.

Spring Break is truly one of the highest levels of happiness you will ever reach. You are with all your closest friends without a single care in the world. What could be better than that? No matter if something unexpected happens, you're still going to have the best damn time of your life.

You're still in shock that the week is already over because all you've been waiting for the past 3 months is this week and now it's over, how did that happen so fast?

Post-spring break depression is a real thing, people. The scariest part is having to go back to school *barf* and restarting your daily routine of school, work, working out, etc. It's dreadful to think about-- let alone do.


Spring break always falls in the middle of March, right in the middle of the semester and a half way mark to the sweet taste of summer. It's the perfect timing but also the biggest tease. Spring break is like here is all the fun you can possibly have but oops sorry you have to go back to reality for another month and a half as if nothing ever happened. Like how are we supposed to just jump back into school? I don't even think I know today's date and spring break ended yesterday.

But even if we want to avoid all possible responsibilities (which I will probably still try and do) we have to get back to our regular lives. So take your planners out and start filling in those assignment dates so you're not killing yourself a week from now on crunch time to get 12 assignments done in 12 hours.

DRINK WATER. This is quite possibly the easiest thing to forget to do, but please don't. Your body is currently begging for it due to either alcohol consumption and sitting in the sun for 5 days straight.

Make sure to catch up on your beauty sleep, realistically you probably went to bed every night between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. so.... get back those z's you ignored during spring break.

If you follow these few steps, no matter how horrid they sound, your adjustment to your daily routine will be A LOT easier my friend and this post spring break depression will soon pass.

Just remember you only have 6 weeks til the glorious taste of summer for a full TWO MONTHS! You can do this, I believe in you!

XOXO,

your fav spring breaker

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.
