Step Your Spring Break Game Up

It sucks seeing everyone else on the beach while you're on your couch.

Here you are sitting on your couch at three in the afternoon, probably still in your pajamas, heck they might even be the leggings and t-shirt you wore the day before, and you are scrolling through your Instagram feed and all you see if beach picture after beach picture. It seems like everyone but you went somewhere for spring break this year. They all escaped the cold and here you are prepping for an impending snow storm (winter break part two?) But, when are you ever going to have a week off again? Probably not for a very very long time, so take advantage of it. Here are somethings to do when you are not spending spring break the way you intended:

1. Buy yourself a nice bottle of wine.

Since it is going to snow and you are going to be stuck inside, you might as well have a nice bottle of wine to snuggle up with. Red or white, doesn't matter, pick your poison.

2. Clean your room.

You probably left it a mess when you left for spring semester because you were so excited to go back to school. So what better time than now to clean up your room.

3. Donate your clothes.

Whatever clothes you left at home, clearly are not that impressive, otherwise you might have brought them with you, so get rid of them, donate them.

4. Pretend you are somewhere else.

Turn on some tropical music, make a fruity drink, maybe turn the heat up a little bit in your room, and just for a little while, pretend that you are on a beach vacation. Just think, you won't come back all sandy, which, who wants that anyway?

5. Binge watch something.

Let's be real, this is what we all will probably end up doing anyway. But why not start something new? It doesn't have to be a "new" show, just maybe something that you haven't watched before instead of watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. for the billionth time.

6. Readjust your internal clock

Since you have the time and there are less things for you to work on, try and go to bed earlier and get up at a decent time. During the semester we abuse our internal clocks by pulling all nighters so frequently and we never get the chance to set them back until we are on a break like this.

These may be simple little things and they may not be as great as going to the beach but, since you are stuck in the cold, snowy Northeast, you might as well give them a try.

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.
