Spring Break

Is it really a break?

You'd think that the reason colleges give you a Spring Break is to come home to your family, relax, and unwind. However, that is not the case for me, and I doubt it is the case for you. Here are 6 reasons why I feel like my "Spring Break" isn't exactly a break:

1. I am looking for summer jobs

If you are coming home for the summer, and want to make a little money, then, Spring Break is the only time to set up interviews and apply for positions.

2. Some classes have midterms after the break

This is annoying because you have to live in the constant fear of forgetting the material, but you also have no motivation to study for it because you are supposed to be on vacation.

3. Do you have younger siblings?

Then you end up playing chauffeur the entire break. Honestly, it's fun because you miss driving while at school, but it not fun because you have to be awake.

4. You want to sleep until the week is over

Not allowed....you may be accused of being lazy. No one realizes how sleep deprived we have been.

5. Doctor, dentist, vet, etc.

If you are anything like me, then you scheduled all of you appointments for the same week, meaning no break.

6. Last but not least, god forbid, your family wants to take a trip

Honestly, you low-key just want to sit and stay in the comfort of you childhood home, You do NOT want to travel

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.

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.
