Things To Do Instead of Spring Cleaning

Things To Do Instead of Spring Cleaning

Spring is quickly approaching and I find that my friends are starting to participate in a sadistic trend known as, "spring cleaning." Now I have nothing against cleaning, I find I often do it when I'm nervous or want to blow off steam. Still, I don't understand why it is known as spring cleaning. Does this mean that we live in a dirty house all winter? Still I digress, here is a list of things to do this spring when you want to procrastinate the cleaning aspect of it.

1. Study for finals! We need to do it anyway, and I find this to be productive instead of cleaning.

2. Go out with friends! Instead of having them over to your dirty house insist on going out and having a Girls Day Out!

3. Facebook stalk old high school friends/ex's. Judge their life choices instead of the current mess you live in.

4. Go shopping! Treat yo self! Do you deserve it? No probably not, but hey it's time for a new spring wardrobe.

5. Visit your family! Go and enjoy a home cooked meal, a clean house, and the chance to do laundry for free!

6. Go to the park! It's now spring time, so there is no better chance to go outside and get some fresh air.

7. Go see Get Out. Seriously, go see it. It got 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes for a reason. Go see it.

8. Create some DIY projects from Pintrest. This will take a while, and be sure to pencil in some time to cry when your project is finished and you realize you will never be Lauren Conrad.

9. Go on date night! Get your boyfriend or girlfriend and go out for the night. Don't have a boyfriend? Not a problem! The gods of the internet created Tinder for a reason.

10. Change your physical appearance. Dye your hair, get a piercing, or a tattoo. Sure it seems a little extreme, but you know the saying. New spring, new you.

Or you could just clean your house. The choice is yours, and yours alone.

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.
