11 Things Everyone Says On Spring Break

It's a marathon, not a sprint so make sure you pace yourself.

Spring break is upon us and everyone is getting excited! Spring break is the time of year where you gather all your friends, pack your suitcases, and head off to your destination. Here are a few things that people typically end up saying on their trip.

1. "Are we there yet?"

If you are traveling to your destination by car then I'm guessing you have said this a time or two.

2. "I'm not ready to be seen in a bikini."

Spring break comes around the corner fast and there is never enough time to get that desired beach body that everyone wants, but liquid courage can help with that.

3. "Bringing a fanny pack was the best decision I have made."

You can only carry so much in your two hands and having an easy-access bag is always handy. Bringing a fanny pack is a good decision because it can carry all the necessities like hair ties, chapstick, gum, cash, your ID, and sunscreen.

4. "Wow, did everyone go swimsuit shopping at Target this year?"

Everyone knows that target is the place to go for inexpensive, trendy swimsuits but when you see 5 girls walk by you in the same swimsuit you are still in shock.

5. "I actually need to put sunscreen on today."

Nobody enjoys sunburns, they are uncomfortable and itchy. One of the only ways to prevent a sunburn is applying sunscreen. Having a sunburn won't stop you from going out but you will have a better time if you aren't drenched in aloe vera.

6. "It's a marathon, not a sprint."

Saying it's a marathon, not a sprint versus actually following the saying is two completely different things. Actions speak louder than words so make sure you pace yourself or else you will hate yourself in the morning (or even at 2 PM).

7. "I can't wait to take a nap."

When 3 PM or 4 PM rolls around it's time to head back to the hotel to take a quick nap. A nap is essential because without one you won't be able to have as much fun at night.

8. "Time to rally."

Rallying is extremely important to successfully do spring break. At the time rallying might seem like an impossible task but once you get out of bed from your nap you are golden. Chug some Pedialyte, get dressed, eat dinner, walk out the door, and never look back.

9. "Where did my sunglasses go?"

Losing a pair of sunglasses is devastating and we all have the potential to do so. Bring an inexpensive pair with you on vacation so when they go MIA, it's not the end of the world.

10. "Sorry, Mom and Dad."

Spring break has the potential to influence bad decisions. Would Mom and Dad be proud of what I'm up to? Probably not.

11. "I'm ready to go home."

Spring break is all fun and games but it has to come to an end and it's probably time to go home anyway. The memories will last forever but the bruises are temporary.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

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

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.

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.
