What Spring Break Is Really Like

When you aren’t partying on a beach like in the movies.

What Spring Break Is Really Like

Spring break has become a notorious time for college students to swarm to warm places like Florida for epic beach parties and chaotic fun. But not every spring breaker is sunbathing and drinking cocktails with colorful umbrellas in them. For a lot of people, this is what spring break is really like:

Pajamas. All. Day. Long.

No need for a bikini or a spray-tan when the only living creatures to lay eyes upon you in your natural habitat will be your family and your pet.

Embracing your bed-head

Rather than taking five hours to create the perfect effortless-looking beach waves, you throw your hair up into a bun (brushing it is optional and not recommended).

Skipping "cake by the ocean" for the real deal

Who needs cake by the ocean? You can enjoy an actual piece of fluffy cake snuggled on your sofa under layers of cozy blankets.

Sleep, sleep, and did I mention sleep?

You won’t be rolling up to the beach in a Jeep with the windows down, you’ll be rolling out of bed at noon, probably with drool on your chin.

Mom's cooking

A nice, balanced diet of alcohol with a side of more alcohol can be swapped out for Mom’s homemade cooking. Nothing is tastier than that!

Hardcore binge watching

The only thing getting “lit” will be your TV as you binge watch Netflix from the time the sun sets to when it rises the next morning.

Living room dance parties

Grinding to loud music in a crowd of intoxicated spring breakers? How about busting out your best corny dance moves like “the sprinkler” or “the shopping cart” with friends in your living room.

Bubble baths

You avoid the possibility of getting attacked by a shark while swimming and settle for a nice bubble bath instead.

Sleepovers with pizza and friends

The closest to a rager you’ll get is having friends over to eat pizza and watch rom-coms.

Spring break forever sounds good to me, just not the kind that most people envision. So here's to lounging around your house and taking some much needed relaxation time before school starts up again.

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.
