What Your Spring Break Destination Says About You

After spring break, we can all reminisce about the good times -- or the mistakes (hopefully not too many). Your choice of destination says a lot about what kind of person you are and probably how your week turned out!


The Spring Breakers.

You spring breakers are what every horrified parent thinks of when they picture a college spring break. You are the type that want the party you have every weekend to continue on through your break, and you feel that you have just the beach body to do it. You return from your break with the biggest hangover you have had in your life, and have been drinking to get rid of it since the first morning you arrived. Your trip consisted of getting sunburned, getting sand on everything you own, and spending much more than you had originally anticipated. All in all, it was a successful trip. You laughed with your friends and, hopefully, made a few more throughout the week. Don't you worry -- your sunburn might just fade into a tan.

The Do-Gooders

You decided that the crazy week at PCB was not for you because you wanted to make a difference in your community, your city, your nation, or the world this spring break. Props to you for the ambitious world peace goals. Because you are in the do-gooder category, you are more selfless than the rest of us and are probably nicer on a daily basis. You probably also returned with a sunburn and more dirt on your Nikes. For your week of freedom, you chose to subject yourself to maybe not being the most comfortable over spring break, but rather to use your talents and work to help others in need. Y'all rock. Never change.

The Foreigners

Because you have thousands of dollars lying around (or can acquire it by a due date), you want to go out of the country for your spring break. You are eager to immerse yourself in another culture and usually enjoy trying new things. This category covers a wide range of trips. You are either going to a foreign country for some sort of study purpose, or you are going to a tropical place, such as Cancun, where you plan to spend your break just like the spring breakers. Either way, you need a passport, a much larger suitcase, and maybe a few key phrases in a different language memorized, such as "Where is the bathroom?" and "Hey, how you doin'?"

The Road Trippers

Adventurous ones tend to fall into this category. Because you are more daring than most of your peers, you are looking for a trip just as off the beaten path as you are. Since you seem to be ready to take to the open road, I hope you have a convertible and nice weather for your break, like the people in this picture. I also hope you are just as ecstatic as they are and have a third wheel to take an Insta-worthy picture like this one. Your trip could be spontaneous or planned, but regardless, it is an awesome week filled with new experiences. Picnic lunches, interesting stops along the way, and riding around singing at the top of your lungs is a great way to come back feeling completely exhausted and completely rejuvenated at the same time.

The Stay-cationers

One of the great joys of spring break is the chance to take a break from schoolwork -- unless you have work due the Tuesday you return. You stay-cationers needed a true break. What better break from school than to be at home? Your time away from school ranged from sleeping, eating, watching Netflix and staring at your animals, wishing they could be with you all the time. You wanted to come home for spring break because you live far away and only see your family on Facebook, have nothing else to do so why stay at school, or you have a hard major and need some time to rest your brain. There is nothing wrong with going home. Don't let your spring breaker friends make you feel bad about yourself! You are cool, too.


However you chose to spend your spring break, I hope you had a safe and fun week, full of adventures that you may or may not tell your children one day!

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.
