Spring Break Survival Kit

Spring Break 2k15 is right around the corner! Whether you are going to Mexico, Florida or Barcelona, here are some tips to help surviving spring break.


1. Bring one carry on bag.
During this week, all your things are going to be everywhere. If you have multiple bags you could get everything mixed up and forget items. So bring one bag, so you can throw all your items in it in a matter of seconds!

2. A Tanning Package.
About a month before spring break, I would suggest getting a tanning package at your local tanning salon. Tanning in a tanning bed isn't the best thing for your skin. But it helps to develop a base tan, so you do not fry when you get into the sun of your spring break destination.

3. Sunscreen.
Always pack sunscreen! Even if you get a tanning package before hand you will still need to keep your skin protected. I have found that it is the easiest to bring spray sunscreen for easy application.

4. Gatorade.
Gatorade is a go-to hangover cure. Obviously spring break involves drinking, so I would suggest to bring a lot of Gatorade to help rejuvenate you during your hangover.

5. Snacks.
Always pack quick snacks that you can take on the go! When you are ready to go to the beach, the last thing you want to do is have to go to a sit down restaurant. Having snacks makes it easy for you to eat on the go!

6. Your School/Greek Flag.
Bring your Greek and school flags to mark your territory on the beach!

7. Fanny Packs.
For girls, fanny packs are one of the only ways you can have all your belongs with you while your at the beach.

8. Air Mattresses.
Chances are you booked a hotel room for four and 20 people end up crashing in your room. Bringing air mattress alleviates problems so everyone has somewhere to sleep.

9. Quick Microwavable Food.
Most hotel rooms have microwaves, so you can make easy microwavable food. Some nights you will not feel like going out to eat, so bring some microwavable food for a fast and easy dinner.

10. Advil.
Advil, Advil, Advil! Bring as much as you can to help with those hangovers so you can keep going all day!


Don't forget to have fun, Spring Break is all about having fun no matter where you are!

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.
