Spring Break: The Best and Worst Part of College

Spring Break, the moment many students have been waiting for their entire college careers. That moment when you finally get to escape the depressing libraries and bitter winter to head somewhere warm and toasty. Your midterms have finally come to the end you've been waiting for, and you're ready to go. No parents, no school, no responsibility. Only a few days separate you and your friends from soaking up the UV rays in Mexico, but there's still miles of preparations.

You think you have months to start dieting and working out every day, but the next thing you know your trip is one month away, and you're in total winter hibernation mode. So, you panic and try to convince yourself the dieting and exercise you just starting doing three days ago has already made a miraculous difference. But then you somehow find yourself in the McDonald's drive through ordering a #6 10-piece chicken nugget meal with a medium fry and large Coke.

Next, you realize all of your summer clothes are "totally last year" and now are forced to order an entire new wardrobe for this five-day trip. You end up spending another $300 dollars on top of the $1,500 you've already spent on the vacation. Now, you start thinking "is it really worth it?".

Now you're starting to forget why you're even going on this trip in the first place. You start thinking it's going to be like when you see a trailer for a new movie that looks so amazing that you get way too excited to see it; Then the inevitable happens and you're ultimately disappointed by the movie. You start to reconsider the trip, nervous that it's not going to live up to your expectations. You consult your friends, ask for their opinions, and try to make a decision. You then remember, this is the trip you've been waiting to go on for years.

So, now it's time to get over the dieting and the clothes and focus on your trip with your friends. You start thinking to yourself, "how often in your life will you get to go to a foreign country with your friends, and sit on the beach for five days?".

To many people, Spring Break is considered a rite of passage; You have to do it at least once and when you do it, you have to live it up as best as you can. This is the time to do things you never thought you would get the chance to do, so make the best out of it.

Spring Break is one of the experiences you truly only have when you are in college. College is only four years long, so if you want to go on a trip that you're not sure if it's really worth it- just try it.

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.

Love Lost

Being the girl that is falling for the boy is never easy.

You constantly text my phone telling me that you want to see me and hang out, even though we may not have sex we cuddle and that’s intimacy in its own. I’m tired of buying you food and being there for you like a girlfriend when you consistently tell me you aren't ready for a girlfriend. I am constantly feeling I’m getting slapped in the face because I’m doing all these things and getting nothing in return. Every day I feel myself liking you more which is just crazy because why would I even waste my time liking someone there isn’t a future with. I just want you to be honest with me and with yourself, tell me how you feel from your heart, stop just saying you aren’t ready. You are wasting time telling me you aren’t ready because while you are “getting ready” some guy somewhere else is telling me that he likes me and thinks I’m beautiful and wants to date me. I’m not asking for much, but I at least want exclusivity because you ask me for all these things but in return you give me nothing.

Pretty Little Liars

From reading the books in eighth grade to watching the television show all throughout high school, "Pretty Little Liars"basically defined my teenage existence. I was completely and totally obsessed on all accounts. However, even though I loved the fact that the books and the show are starkly different, there are simply just some ways in which the books are much better. Let's take a look:

Recently I was blessed to be a counselor at a wonderful camp, secluded in a cornfield somewhere in Virginia. I consider myself to be a seasoned camp counselor, as I have not only been a camper for most of my life but have been privileged enough to work multiple camps with all kinds of different facilities. I have worked camps with multi-thousand dollar facilities, with zip lines, rock walls, ropes courses, and boats. I have worked at camps with amazing water sports, camps with paintball, camps with canoes and paddle boats and floating blobs or trampolines in the middle of the water. I have worked at camps with in ground pools and camps without any pools, and even some camps with go-karts. I've had problem kids, kids who refuse to listen to anything I say, kids who sneak out after lights out to meet a significant other, and kids who are every camp counselors dream.

The United Nations (UN) has been in existence since June of 1945. Since then, the world has come together to work on and solve some of the harshest problems that face the Human Race. Be it children in societal ills like Human Trafficking, natural issues like Deforestation, or issues of extreme poverty, the UN has worked together in an attempt to make it a better place for us all. It's the only organization in the history of the world to bring people together in a willing, peaceful way; a feat that not even the League of Nations could do in the Post- WWI era. Why was it that one organization failed, and the other one is still going strong, 72 years later?
