I'm Staying Home for Spring Break Here's Why

For spring break most people look at it as a time to go somewhere warm with their friends, enjoy some fruity drinks, and time away from the stress that is associated with school. For this year I'm staying home and I couldn’t be more excited for this time away from the stress of school and to see my family again.

Anyone who knows me is going to look at this article and wonder what the hell I’m talking about because my family is only 15 minutes away and I'm privileged enough to go home whenever I miss them.

Although this spring break will be spent mostly catching up on reading that was assigned over the semester, but like most others got slammed with it because I waited til the last minute, will be spent doing said readings. So while I do my readings at home I will also have time to annoy my little brother, have a fight or two over something stupid with my mom, manage to piss my step dad off, and probably step on my dog's paw at least once.

But that’s OK because I will be with my loving, caring, supporting family. Well supporting unless it's something they don’t approve of. Now some of you might have realized that I sound slightly not so eager to see my family for spring break but make no mistake I do love them, they’re a wonderful bunch, and while I've been at school I missed getting yelled at for leaving a glass on the table for more than five seconds, and woken up by people running around the house, oh and what I’ve definitely missed the most is finding out that since we moved our assigned diner table seating has too changed, and so it results in me playing musical chairs to find out exactly which seat I’m supposed to have because God forbid I sit in my step dads seat then I practically get launched out of it. Maybe on second thought I would much rather be on the beach…

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.
