Spring Cleaning... Your Life
Katie Kelley

The birds are singing, bees are buzzing and the flowers are blooming. Hopefully, everything around you is starting to be a little brighter and happier. With that, that means Spring has finally arrived and it's time to say goodbye to a few things. Old clothes, crappy friends and bad habits. Just like that New Years resolution you made just a few months ago... and never completed? Well no need to worry, its time for your new resolution! New spring, New You... Right?

Old Clothes

Spring means warmer weather and warmer weather means bringing back out all of those cute short sleeve tops and those adorable shorts you tucked away last November. Bringing out your old clothes and doing a little shopping means you have to get rid of some old things. Think back to the past couple of cold months and then take a look at your wardrobe... Is there anything you didn't wear? Anything that didn't fit? If so, it's a goner.

Crappy friends

While you're getting rid of those clothes that you didn't need anymore, why don't you get rid of those friends who maybe aren't 'fitting' anymore. It is okay to get rid of friends... Maybe not get rid of but just hide in the back of all your other friends for a while, just like that shirt your mom got you for Christmas that comes around every once in a while, but isn't the best thing you could wear. That crappy friend may be that shirt you never want to take out of the drawer. So why not just get rid of it while you're getting rid of other things? In the long run, it will help you if you take away the crappy friends who just drag you down. Gotta start working on that New You.

Bad Habits

Remember that annoying habit you do when you're nervous? Or when you tell yourself that you're done having late night snacks that include chocolate, ice-cream and your favorite candy? Well the New Spring, New You says no more! It is time to break those habits that you and everyone around you can not stand. It takes 30 days for someone to break a habit and the first day of Spring is today, March 20th. Even if you're reading this a couple days late, if you start changing your bad habits into good habits today, by the end of April, the New You is in full swing.


No one ever said it would be easy to get rid of some clothes you never wear, friends who aren't making you better and habits that no one can stand. But it is time to get your life in shape, summer is fast approaching. Keep in mind that if you get rid of these things now, you won't be wasting your time when summer break is here and you could be sitting outside in the sun. Just keep telling yourself New Spring, New You.

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.
