30 Things I'd Rather Do Than Go On A Spring Break Diet

30 Things I'd Rather Do Than Go On A Spring Break Diet
Alive Campus

Someway, somehow, Spring Break is rapidly approaching. Eight entire days of nothing but beaches, sun, sand, drinks-- and bathing suits. Normally, there's a bit more time to mentally prepare before having to slip into a bathing suit, but this year, the days are escaping a little too quickly for my liking.

Last week as I was eating my weight in mac and cheese, or drinking my weight in Bud Lights/vodka sodas, my mind flashed to the bathing suit sitting in my closet, and the all too close date of when I'd have to put it on. Should I cut back on the chicken cutlets? Maybe limit my alcohol intake? Should I be on a spring break diet? And then, something fantastic happened. Just as quickly as that thought had entered my head, it disappeared, as if it never existed in the first place.

And then I started laughing to myself. Because the more I thought about it, the more I realized I'm going to enjoy this life (and my body!) while I have it. So there are quite a few things I'd rather do than go on a Victoria's Secret Angle-esque diet before spring break:

1. Finish another series on Netflix

2. Take a (much-needed) nap

3. Organize the mountains of clothes piling up in my closet

4. Accidentally like a picture of your ex-boyfriend's sister's best friend from four years ago

5. Wear nothing but crocs for the rest of my life

6. Look for all the bobby pins I've lost over the years

7. Wash my car by hand

8. Go to the dentist

9. Step on a Lego

10. Shave one eyebrow

11. Get my haircut by a toddler

12. Have a hangover for three weeks straight

13. Be trapped in my freshman philosophy class for an entire day

14. Dry shave my legs

15. Wear a groufit for the rest of my life

16. Be forced to use a dorm bathroom for the rest of my life

17. Do the cinnamon challenge once a week for the next year

18. Sit through an opera

19. Join Farmer's Only or Christian Mingle

20. Lose all of my phone contacts

21. Have someone countdown each minute until graduation

22. Listen to an entire playlist consisting of entirely of recordings of my own voice

23. Go on a juice cleanse

24. Drink nothing but Four Lokos every time I go out

25. Lose all of my leggings/yoga pants

26. Never use hot sauce again

27. Pierce my own ear

28. Drunk text every contact in my phone

29. Be a contestant on "The Bachelor"

30. Not go on spring break

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
