Preparing for PV. You?

Preparing for PV. You?

Now that it’s second semester, the infamous spring break trip to Puerto Vallarta is all any sophomore can think about: a week in Mexico with all your best friends and thousands of other college students ... plus alcohol, plus nonstop partying. This can only be described as one thing: EPIC. PV basically has just as much hype as the birth of North West.   

Don’t try to deny the fact that you’ve been online shopping for outfits since before winter break. We’re all doing it. By the way, matching sets are so trendy right now — you definitely need one. Your teacher is probably the only one in your 300-person lecture who assumes you're taking notes, when you're really just telling your friend about the sick new bikini you got. Let's get real. Looking flawless is not an option. It’s almost as if paparazzi will be following you around. Anyone who’s relevant will be there. That really cool girl you stalk on Instagram is going. So is the hot guy from your best friend's school. They will both be seeing you in a bikini. EVERYONE will be seeing you in a bikini.     

Don’t panic just yet; there is still time to get yourself in shape. Unfortunately, there are no Soul Cycles out in the Midwest, so going to the gym is a must. If your gym is anything like mine (a total scene), I suggest a cute pair of workout pants. Look good, feel good, am I right? Looking good will motivate you to actually get to the gym, and when you get there, you wont be intimidated by other girls who actually know what they’re doing. Start with something easy like the elliptical. Don’t worry if it’s crowded. Nothing makes you work harder than a frat boy staring you up and down. Furthermore, the elliptical is basically a magic machine. Even the most uncoordinated person can look like a pro. It burns major calories while toning your legs, and most importantly, your butt.        

Fast forward: You’re in PV. This is your moment. You see the boys across the pool and instead of shying away, you turn your back toward them. You pull off your cover up and BAM! Heads turn, jaws drop. You know they're looking at your a**, and you couldn’t be prouder!

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.

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.
