10 Reasons Every College Student Is Itching For Summer Break

We get those few days of warmth in March, and suddenly remember how great it feels to have the sun soaking into our faces. Its the home stretch for classes and daydreaming of summer days begin. Here are 10 reasons we are craving summer, in all of its beauty.

1. Lack of responsibilities

It's like music to my ears. Summer means little to no school work. It means finding that great book to read on the beach.

2. Warm days have blessed us

url

We have been teased with the few warm days that spring has to offer us and the need for that summer sun is real.

3. Sick and tired of the cold

There is no better feeling than leaving the house in a bathing suit, sundress, and flip flops. Having to put on a gazillion layers to leave the house is getting old.

4. PALE.

The worst effect that winter throws at us. Being tan is one of the summer's many attributes. There is also no better feeling than taking a shower after the beach and admiring those tan lines.

5. Friends from home

It has been a long school year. We only see our lifetime friends over breaks and sporadic trips to each other's colleges. It's about time we get together with friends from home to blast music in the car and belt at the top of our lungs with the windows down.

6. Being home

As wonderful as college life is, it is always the best feeling to go back to the place you grew up and adore.

7. The beach

If you are lucky enough to live close to a beach, spending the entire day in the ocean is something much needed while we drown in dreaded school projects and exams.

8. BBQ's & Bonfires

Nothing compares to those family & friend BBQ's with hotdogs, macaroni salad, and lemonade. Then to end the night with a bonfire in your favorite sweatshirt, listening to Springsteen.

9. Sunlight until 8 PM

It is exhausting when the sun is setting at 5 PM. Now that the sun has graced us with a couple more hours of sunlight, moods have been lifted!

10. Summer concerts

All I can say is... Stone Pony Summer Stage. If you live within driving distance to Asbury Park, take the trek. It is worth it!

Buckle in. We only have a little over a month left of classes and then we are FREE!!

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.
