A  Procrastinator's Cookbook: An Easy Salad Recipe For College Students

If anyone is like me, they probably just realized that Spring Break is only a couple days away... and probably have not even thought about getting "beach bod" ready. Even though I am not venturing to a beach this Spring Break, I wanted to help those who have been/just started to prepare for their sunny adventures! This recipe is not only delicious, it is also packed with vitamins that will help with any and every aspect of your spring break.

Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients:

1 Tbls Olive Oil

1 Chicken Breast

1 cup Pineapple

1 cup Strawberries, sliced

2 cups Greens (lettuce, spinach, spring mix... the sky is the limit)

1/2 Red Onion, sliced (not photographed)

1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes, diced

1/2 cup Cucumbers (not photographed)

1/2 cup Carrots, shredded

1/4 cup Cheese (I used sliced Baby Bell)

1 Tbs Nuts of your choice (optional)

2 Tbs Dressing of your choice (optional)

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Slice strawberries, pineapple (if not already), cucumbers and red onions and place the strawberries, onions, and cucumbers into a big bowl with lettuce and spinach. Dice the cherry tomatoes and add to the big bowl.2. In a small pan, heat up pineapple for about one minute. Add carrots and cook with the pineapple for about two minutes. When finished cooking, add to a plate to cool before putting on the actual salad.

3. On the same sauce pan used for the pineapple, add seasoned chicken breast. Cook for about four to five minutes on each side, or until brown. When finished cooking, slice into 1/2 in pieces. If the chicken is not completely cooked by this point, place back on the pan until completely cooked.

4. Add the pineapple/carrot mixture, nuts, and cheese to the salad bowl and mix. Scoop the salad onto a plate, add the chicken, and drizzle your choice of dressing on top. I recommend a vinaigrette or lemon juice to keep it light and fresh.

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.
