Spring break is a week dedicated to making memories with friends and visiting family. It is a time given to take a break from college and enjoy the warm weather. Although it should be a week filled of fun, many college students forget about responsibilities and go a little crazy. It's important to remember to take care of yourselves and plan your time wisely. Follow these Do's and Dont's for a successful spring break.

1. DO: Wear sunscreen. You definitely do not want to get a sunburn on your first day at the beach and ruin your spring break by spending the rest of the week hiding from the sun.

2. Don't: Caption all of your pictures "Spraaaang Break." No one wants to see the same thing over and over on their timelines. This isn't "Spring Breakers" and you are not James Franco.

3. Do: Plan ahead. Traveling with friends and family to new and exciting places is an amazing experience. By planning ahead you can be saving money and ensuring an eventful spring break full of fun activities.

4. Don't: Post anything on social media that you would not want your mom to see. Remember that future employers can also check social media accounts before hiring.

5. Do: Leave your expensive items at home. You do not want to lose your diamond earrings in the ocean or leave your Prada sunglasses behind at a bar.

6. Don't: Forget the buddy system. Many places during spring break can easily get crowded and confusing so make sure to remain with your friends and watch out for one another.

7. Do: Make a budget. Drinks and souvenirs can be expensive and you will not want to run out of money halfway through your week. Making a budget and sticking to it ensures that you'll spend your money wisely.

8. Don't: Leave trash behind. Every year multiple beaches are left with liter after the spring breakers leave. Have fun but respect the area and pick up after yourselves.

9. Do: Try something new. Now is the time to try jet-skiing or renting scooters to drive around town. Spring break is a time for adventuring and trying new things with friends.


10. Don't: Forget about your families. For those that do not live at home, chances are that you don't get very many chances to see your family. Although taking a trip for a few days with friends is great, plan a few days to spend time with your parents and siblings.

11. Do: Make sure that your reservations are in order. Arriving a destination and not being able to get your rental car or hotel room will put a damper on your plans and can make for a stressful time.

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.
