Oh my god! Spring break is coming up, where are we going!?

Top 5 Spring Break Locations You've Never Considered
Student City

Whoa, whoa, whoa, relax about your spring break plans already. I’m here to inform you that I have mindfully selected the best and most affordable destinations in North America. These rage places will strike large amounts of envy when pictures are posted on Instagram with captions like “no caption needed” due to the breathtaking backdrops, and overabundant signs of a great time.

So pack your bags and grab a case of Let's Party. Here are the top five places you must hit during the four, maybe five, spring breaks you are afforded here in college.

1. Kananaskis Country, CA

Have you seen "The Revenant?" The one where handsome DiCaprio looks like he needs to blow his nose the entire movie, but he never does? Well, if you've been on spring break ever, this is the place you’ll want to go next. Imagine a six day hike through some of the exact terrain as in the movie that will leave you wanting more raw fish in your life. You’ll leave this place changed. This could be due to the finger you lost to frostbite, or the missing part of your calf that fed a starving bear (all part of the fun). If that's not enough adventure, don't worry. Periodically, throughout the night, the natives will make sure you don't sleep, because you never do on spring break. Really, what makes this place so different?

2. Sebring, OH

Thirsty? Good, cause we got nothing but alcohol in our next party town, Sebring, Ohio. Recently, it has been discovered that lead has been contaminating the lame drinking water out here in Sebring. This has influenced a major increase in alcohol importation, resulting in stores staking themselves with liquors from all over the world. Order up a shot of Absinthe, lose yourself, and go crazy in this all too quiet town. Don’t hydrate your body and immediately destroy that belligerent buzz you’ve worked hard for. It's spring break, who drinks water?


3. Holladay, UT


So maybe you’re not trying to drink yourself to death in Sebring. This next place, located in Salt Lake County, will leave you wishing you were born Mormon. Followers/locals of said religion will not be partaking in any sexual intercourse that is premarital. So if you meet a girl outside a strictly PG movie theater, take her out and buy her a glass (or two!) of juice and get to experience the unbelievable stories she has to tell. Another great thing is no tanning! Don't even stress about having to re-apply and getting burned; showing any skin is a sin in this hoot of a city. Just make sure you leave before Sunday, as the entire place shuts down and no mode of transportation exists. Come spend your holiday in Holladay, land of the correct spelling and real religion.

4. Mansfield, MA

I don't know how you could resit pounding back glasses of juice out in the desert sun fully dressed, but if so, this next town will be the one for you! You can go out, get smashed, and while you are stumbling back home at 5 a.m., people are waking up and on their way to the bar (or work, who knows). Everything is totally normal here in Mansfield, they even have a super neat and unique way of checking IDs. If you plan to go here, don't forget your fake passport. Out-of-state IDs are useless unless you are over 25. Man up, show off your spring break bod, and take the trip of a lifetime out to scenic Mansfield.

5. Portland, OR


The last and most expensive place to spend your spring break is... Oregon. Some people think that the show "Portlandia," on Netflix, is a comedy, when in reality it's a bunch of mini documentaries promoting this city. Take a few friends to Portland and make sure you leave everything behind. In Portland, they don’t accept anything commercial made (what an escape!). Oh, you’re trying to pay for homemade brew at the convenience store? Try bartering that empty water bottle you tried to throw away in a compost pile a few blocks back. In six days, you can learn how to craft anything, from your own grass-woven, slightly itchy underwear to your own wooden toothpicks! Come and debunk the theory that Portland is strictly for bicycle and artisan food enthusiasts.

There you have it. Try not to have too much fun.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
