Spring Break - The Ultimate College Checklist

T- 2 weeks until spring break, are you ready? Mentally yes, but physically no. The same amount of midterm preparation goes for spring break.

You probably have about three tests, 15 projects and an interview for your summer internship before you can truly start thinking about Spring Break.

Most people have already booked their round-trip tickets to Cabo and their bank accounts are dwindling as they order the latest $100 Frankie’s Bikinis.

The only thing missing that can’t be packed in my suitcase are those washboard Instagram abs I promised myself I would have this break. The pressures of spring semester are real, when spring break is just a preview of your summer bod.

Waking up at 8 a.m. for the third day of full legs at kickboxing will be worth it. Pass on the chocolate covered strawberries and feel proud you resisted the urge for today. Just under 3 weeks to go.

Next on the checklist is booking the pre-spring break spray tan- so either way, you have some contrast from the sand. After all, what is spring break without those hot beach pictures?

Most girls are already sharing secrets of gluten-free diets or trying the latest tea trend. The hardest part is giving up Thursday pasta nights and trying not to drink your weight every weekend leading up to break.

We are going to be so proud once we get through the stresses of school and can finally relax and live it up whatever you choose to do during the break.

Picture yourself sipping on a pina colada at Mango Deck making memories with all of your close friends and being far away from your weekly psychology papers.

Just remember, most of the state of Arizona will be in Mexico...so bring your A game. Time to get fit, tan and fun.

At the end of the day our parents aren’t too thrilled about us heading to Mexico but that week might be a week of questionable decisions. Make sure to stay hydrated, rally/nap when needed and have a Spring Break to remember.

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.
