The perfect spring break consists of golden, tan skin, margaritas by the poolside, and a tropical vacation. That’s how we all imagine our ideal spring break to go, but then reality hits you... and you end up spending the whole break eating chips and watching Netflix on the couch all day.

Expectation: Perfect weather.


We all hope for 75-degree, sunny beach days every single day of spring break.

Reality: It ends up raining every single day.

Expectation: Having a perfect beach body.

Having a hot bod for spring break is anything anyone could ask for. However, that doesn't always work out...

Reality:


I think we can all relate to Fat Amy when it comes to working out.

Expectation: Eating a perfect diet.

We all like to pretend that over spring break, we are going to eat super healthy and keep our hot bods.

Reality:

Spring break turns out to be the best time to pig out. Who knew!

Expectation: Laying out by the beach all day and getting tan.

We all just want that beautiful golden glow.

Reality:

You actually find that you look more like a tomato at the end of the day.

Expectation: Going on a super cool trip with your best friends.

Cabo, Hawaii, the Carribean? The choices are endless!

Reality:

You actually end up realizing that you have no money so you and your friends stay at home all of break, instead.

Expectation: HOT BOYS.

During spring break, you expect to see hot boys everywhere. It's supposed to be prime time to find attractive guys.

Reality:

You end up seeing something a little bit different...

Expectation: Waking up early to make the most of every day.

You promise yourself that you will wake up at 8 am every day of break.

Reality:

You end up sleeping until 5 in the afternoon and you're actually pretty happy with it.

Expectation: Taking perfect beach pictures.

You expect that all your beach pics will turn out looking like a Victoria's Secret magazine but...

Reality:

Your friend gets some pictures of you when your not ready and they end up looking a little something like this.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
