Seven Tips to Stay Spring Break Smart

It's all fun and games till someone gets hurt.

1. Keep the P.I.K.

Have your phone, ID, and key on you at all times. Let the lost puppy inside of you be free.

2. Buddy Ol' Pal.

Keep up the buddy system, and be smart. Never go anywhere alone. Remember that more buddies are the best buddies.

3. Be Responsible.

Take mom's words into consideration this time, and be smart about what you do. After a long day of shenanigans don't let your spring break choices kick you in the butt.

4. Keep the Damage Under-Wraps.

Don't allow yourself or those buddies of yours to do any damage to where your staying for the week or the night. Breaking things that aren't yours doesn't always go over well, and as poor college students our spring break budget doesn't account for a sofa hanging in the pool.

5. Hydration Station.

After a long day of hanging out on the beach being SUPER safe and smart with your friends, make sure you hydrate. There's no need to wake up the next morning wanting to lay in bed all day and not want to go out experience more.

6. Stay Aware.

Be well aware of your surroundings and the people you are with. It's important to know where you are at all times and don't let anyone (especially strangers...) convince you to follow along and go some place unknown.

7. Have Fun.

We only have 4 years to live out some of the best spring breaks of our lives, so make smart decisions, and don't regret it. It's about having fun and making the most of your time.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
