The Senior Year Darty Season

My last will and testament!

With the Spring season finally here and warm weather upon us, that could only mean one thing. Darties are everyone's favorite seasonal activities. For girls, it's the first time the knit tanks get thrown on and paired with a trendy pair of sandals while the guys are running around in boat shoes and pastel colored khakis. Good vibes only. As a senior this upcoming darty season will be the one of the lasts times it will be acceptable to wake up in the morning and have a glass of sangria for breakfast...lunch...and most likely dinner as well.

For those who are unaware of what a "darty" is, it is a party that takes place during the day. The most glorious feeling of a darty is raging with all of your friends in one place because the fact of the matter is ever since you turned 21 you probably haven't turned up with any of your "20 minus" friends.

As graduation rapidly creeps up behind us it's incredibly difficult to say goodbye to this phase in our lives. Our four collegiate years were filled with amazing memories, long reckless nights, and friends that turned into family. This darty season will be weeks of celebrating the past and welcoming the future or in other words, out post-graduate lives.

How do we really go out with a bang this darty season? For every night spent in the library over the past years will be replaced with a keg-stand, for each 8AM we had to wake up and endure, a jell-O shot, and for each time we passed up a night to go out, we will make up for it each weekend afternoon surrounded by our best friends and classmates.

Lastly, the darty season true significance is to bring out the college student in you. Once we graduate, there will always be a bar to go to, reunion parties to attend but to return to the backyard to your favorite frat house will be a rare opportunity that must be taken advantage of now. So as the sun gets warmers and the sunglasses get bigger, grab your favorite Tumblr and get ready for the best spring season of your lives.

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.
