Surviving The Week's Before Break

If your college is anything like mine you still have two weeks to go until you finally reach Spring Break! With all of your former high school friends posting pictures of their fabulous times in 80-degree weather, on the beach, and letting go of all of their stressors how are we supposed to survive the dreaded week(s) that stand between us and our break?

1. Plan ahead.

Take some time to plan what you're going to accomplish over Spring break. This allows you to step away from all of the chaos of college and prep yourself for all of the exciting things to come.

2. Go shopping.

That's right, treat yourself! Buy that dress you've imagined yourself wearing on the beach in two weeks. Trust me, it's a need not a want.

3. Get involved.

Even though you are mid- way through your second semester of college it's never too late to get involved on campus. Waste your time being productive after class and your days will go by even quicker... that or take a nap.

4. Start a countdown on your phone.

Get the app, apply a tropical background, and watch the numbers count down to 1!

5. Let the idea of spring break being right around the corner to motivate you through the week.

This idea is a given. You're almost there! You've got this! Get through your final exams, presentations, classes, practices, etc because you're about to be laying on the beach (or cuddling with your dogs at home) and nothing can compare to that!

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.
