Post-Spring Break Sydrome

Let's be honest Spring Break is no "break." In fact, the most relaxing part of Spring Break is coming back to school from break. After a week on the beach, the slopes or abroad with all of your friends, you're bound to experience the "Post-Spring Break Syndrome." You know you did Spring Break right if any of these apply to you:

Your bed has never been more comfortable.
You will not want to move from your bed for at least 24 hours.

A shower has never felt so good.
I have never been more desperate for a nice hot shower then I was after a week in a beach house with 40 people and 13 girls sharing 1 shower.

Personal space has never been more necessary.
You will cherish at least one day to relax, recover, and just be alone.

A salad, fresh veggies and fruit have never tasted better.
After eating Mac N' Cheese, fast food, and pizza for at least one meal a day for a week straight all your body wants is a fresh salad.

The thought of the gym is actually appealing.
Your body most likely hates you at this point and the thought of the gym sounds surprisingly nice.

The scale is your ultimate enemy.
Ladies stay clear of the scale... You really don't want to know how much weight you actually gained this week.

You've never despised the taste of alcohol more.
Shots just will not go down the same for at least a weekend.

Reality is a dread and homework is the ultimate devil.
Coming back from Spring Break to a week of tests, essays, and homework is seriously depressing.

Your laundry loads are unreal...
You might just want to set aside an entire day to handle that situation.

Your bank account is in the negatives.
It hurts to look at the damage you've done to your bank account after Spreak.

Your tan is probably the best result of your break.
There is nothing like Spring Break and the aftermath is completely worth it! I'm sure if you did it right, you too will have experienced all of the above!

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.
