Sring Break finally approaches us!! Time to unwind, relax, and sleep! Whether you’re going away on a trip with pals or just relaxing at home and watching movies, here’s a to-do list during you’re much needed school-free week.

1. Just do that project already!

Yes, you know. The one you’ve been pushing off since your professor handed you their syllabus. Papers and projects usually aren’t much fun, but just dedicate one day to finishing it! It’ll be one less thing to do when you go back! Trust me, you’ll thank yourself for it later.

2. Girls’ Night!

No more excuses! Get the squad together for dinner, a night out, or even just a night in. You all could use some time to catch up and remind yourselves why you're all best friends! Fun nights with your friends are always good for improving your mood and laughter is the best medicine!

3. Get out of the house!

Whether you’re going on a trip to Miami or just a day trip of shopping and checking out a new local attraction, do something! You’ll feel much more accomplished just by being able to try something new and climb out of your rut. Plus you're on vacation! Vacations are for smiles and good memories!

4. Clean, please

I know it's not just me. It’s that point in the semester. Your room is a mess. Please at least clean enough so your floor is visible and it doesn’t look like a small tornado whirled through your room. We’re past the point where Christmas lights will improve your room’s atmosphere. A clean room is always more fun to hang out in and your friends won't have to worry about breaking an ankle when they try to maneuver their way to your bed!

5. Treat Yourself!

Either splurge on a new outfit, do something with your hair, or just play around with some new products. Now’s the perfect time to up your look and be confident about it. Another dose of self-esteem never hurts! You should have fun spending money on yourself.

6. Rest and Relax

Sleep in. Take a bubble bath. Do a facial. Snuggle up on the sofa and just enjoy not having a class to run to or homework to do later. Your body needs plenty of rest for you to be healthy and live a life with the best quality you can achieve. Plus it's so relaxing!!

Please have a fun, safe, and memorable break! You deserve it!

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.
