Spring Break Is A Whole New Ball Game In College

Students go to places that may not be the safest for Spring Break adventures.

Spring Break becomes a whole new adventure for college kids. Mexico, Florida, Palm Springs, you name it and there are kids there getting drunk out of there minds trying to forget they actually attend an establishment of higher education.

Which doesn't sound like a terrible time, but the places people go to do it aren't the wisest choices.

Let's talk about Mexico. Dangerous is all I have to say. The police are not on your side, the number of college kids that end up behind bars in Mexico is unreal. Unless you're going to study the laws of this foreign country before you go, it sounds sketchy to me.

The police in Mexico aren't like the police in the U.S. Protecting the people is not their number one concern. Catching Americans breaking laws and doing dumb things is.

Next time you're calling your mom to bail you out of jail in Mexico she might just pull you out of school! My mother would probably leave me there to "teach me a lesson" — you never know what mood moms are in.

As fun as legally drinking when you're 18 and being in Mexico with your friends sounds, there are so many risks of going to a foreign country with different laws and relations than you are used to.

Getting kidnapped is unfortunately common in Mexico, as well. Girls get grabbed in bars or on the street all the time, and it's a scary situation for anyone to find themselves in when they are just trying to go to a club and have a good time.

Spring break when we were in high school used to be an innocent trip to Hawaii or the beach with the fam, but now it's a competition of who can black out four nights in a row. When you are planning your Spring Break 2018 this year, think about that phone call you don't want to have with your mom.

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.
