When Your Spring Doesn't Consist of a Break

An ode to all of us who don't make it to the beach for fun-in-the sun during spring break.

When Your Spring Doesn't Consist of a Break

Ahh, Spring Break 2015 is finally here. I can already feel the warm sun on my skin, sand beneath my toes and not a care in the world. “It's going to be such a week with all of my friends, #perf."

LOL, jk.If any of you are suffering the same issue as myself, aka no actual break in my spring, then you understand my pain.

Yes, the majority of college students do plan spring break trips before they schedule their exams, and beaches across the coast will be filled with them all. However, there are those others students, like myself, who have either other obligations (work, family events), or those students who hate all other students (so of course they won't be there) and those who simply just don't care or maybe missed the “sign up for the condo by this mandatory deadline" memo.

Whatever situation you may be in, either way you are still a part of us “spring-fakers."

Us spring-fakers, we must unite together to pretend like we are having the time of our lives during spring break when in all actuality, we probably aren't. We must come together to enjoy the spring heat, our backyards, and sip our super “cutesy" DIY spring break drinks, (our glass of milk before bed), and we must overall stick together because at the end of the day, we are still not actually breaking in the spring. Shocker, I know.

So take this simple tribute, Spring-fakers and run freely (not to the beach, obviously) with it, because we apparently DO get tired.

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.
