Instagram does Spring Break wonders.

From the Girl Who Spent Spring Break With Her Best Friends... AND Her Mom
Lindsey Pyatt

Spring Break looks so fun. The Spring Break I am referring to is the Spring Break image that pops into your head when you hear the two words: 1) Spring 2) Break. We all know the reputation it brings to the table.

We drank. We partied. We had the time of our lives.

Just like everyone else's, my Spring Break consisted of these three things, EXCEPT we broke the "Spring Break" walls.

We drank water. We partied with our moms. We still had the time of our lives.

Senior year of high school is notorious for wristbands in Mexico and parties on the beach, and while that may have topped everything under the sun for the typical high schooler, I was perfectly happy hanging low with eleven of my sweetest friends. Sure, our one beach house got crazy, but not that crazy.

We biked. We beached. We laughed.

The beach welcomed us with open waves (and lots of wind kisses). It was almost as cold as home, but you could not have paid us to stay inside. We certainly had our swimsuits on, but the blankets and towels would have said otherwise. The extra few dollars to heat the pool was absolutely life changing, let me tell you. If we weren't poolside, our feet were peddling away on the bikes we rode around. Of course, we did not come away from a gadget on two wheels without a few bumps and bruises.

We shopped. We ate (ice cream). We made memories.

Too much money. Too many calories. Too much fun (and way too much sun). We girls know how to party. And by party, I mean musical ambiance for our wild game of Catch Phrase with 45-year-old (being generous) high school girls, aka moms. We were fully aware that our stories didn't compare to the craziness that went down for our school friend's Spring Break memories, but we were fully content with the craziness that went down for ours. Good fun can be classified in many different ways for many different people. For me, this was my kind of party. I call it Spring Break — and no, it's not the Spring Break you're thinking of.

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.
