Spring break is a long-awaited and glorious event during the school year. Students of all ages are packing their bags and longing for the beach and sun that await them. This list includes everything you'll need to have a fun-packed successful spring break.

1. Sunscreen

This is one of the basics, but it's important to point it out because the majority of college students think they're invincible and don't need sunscreen.

2. Aloe

If you're one of the students mentioned above, you're going to end up needing aloe after you burn in the sun from not using sunscreen.

3. Bathing suits

Duh.

4. A fanny pack

It will hold all of your valuables and make quite the fashion statement.

5. Your decorated water jug


Whether or not you choose to fill it with water is your choice, but this jug will keep you from having to run around all day looking for a refill.

6. The perfect hat

7. A flag


Whether it's for a sorority, fraternity, school, or America the great, a flag will make for some great pictures.

8. Koozies

There will be drinking.

9. Sunglasses

Make sure you have the perfect pair that's a mix between protection and fashion!

10. First-aid kit

Trust me, you'll thank me for this one. Better safe than sorry!

11. Plenty of tanks

12. A cooler

13. Disposable cups

This will ensure that you're not too upset over losing your favorite cup.

14. Plenty of drinks and snacks

Keep yourself hydrated and well-fed!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
