Spring Breakdown

Let's consult the dictionary of all mischievous dictionaries for this one -- Urban Dictionary, to be precise. Spring break def. "A week where all the dumb kids go to Cancun and all the level headed people get to relax. Ah, spring break, cleansing my town of idiots."

I'm not sure about every college but I know for certain GSU and about every other random northern/midwest college had spring break this past week. I know I am already having withdrawals from the constant craziness that arises while laying on a neon bathing suit covered beach.

Most people think of their spring break going like this:


But most of the time it ends up like this:

To make sure you kids made the best out of your week away from tedious homework assignments and exams out the wazoo I've configured a master checklist:

  • End up the star of a Snapchat that wasn't your own... check
  • Find yourself stranded on a beach 30 minutes away from your resort... check
  • Lose one of the following: keys, phone, wallet, new sandals, dignity... check
  • Get kicked out of your place and bunk with strangers... check
  • Tell a cab driver she can be in your wedding... check
  • Take a picture with the cops while they're busting somebody... check
  • Have at least one argument (you probably don't remember)... check

As long as you didn't enter any wet t-shirt contests or end up with a distasteful tattoo on your rump than it's all A-okay. It always cracks me up when I hear people before spring break say, yeah, I'm just going to have a chill break with friends and they come back with two thousand stories that go against whatever they thought their break was going to intel -- i.e., someone slept on the beach all week and someone else got put in,"cruise jail."

But in the end, you are going back to school and as long as you did not make too many immoral mistakes then you will just always look back at SBK15 like...

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

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.
