10 Things To Pack This Spring Break

Where did I put my checklist?

Spring is only two weeks away! I can picture it now. The warmth hitting my skin from the sun and the sweet taste of a fruity drink.

If you are like me, you start deciding what to pack weeks in advance.

I thought it would be helpful if I listed some of these things for everyone else to have some kind of idea.

1. Sunglasses


Protect your eyes from all the rays of the sun. Plus who doesn't love a classic pair of Rayban aviators?

2. Flowing sundress


Sundresses are easy to throw on and they show off your perfect sun-kissed tan. Wear it with some cute wedges or sandals.

3." Norts"


Yes, I wear "norts" even on vacay. Nike running shorts are every college girl's go to/ They're super comfortable and the best to just lounge in.

4. Sunscreen and tanning lotion


I love tanning lotion just as the next girl, but I ALWAYS wear sunscreen to protect my skin. Getting sunburnt on vacation is the worst. Not only are you in pain, but you now look like a lobster.

5. LOTS of t-shirts


T-shirts are perfect for every occasion. Pair perfectly with norts. You can throw it over your bathing suit or wear one to bed.

6. Big beach towel


I hate being unprepared so when I travel all the way to the beach and my towel isn't long enough to wrap around my body or cover my chair, I get super annoyed.

7. A good book


Personally, when I am on vacation I want a good book to read. I recommend reading "THE HATE U GIVE" by Angie Thomas. It is funny, witty, but most importantly eye-opening.

8. Flip flops


Last year I made the mistake of taking my expensive sandals to the beach only to have a little bit too much wine coolers and losing them.

9. A cute dress or outfit


On vacation, most people have that one night where they all go out to have a nice dinner. A dress or jeans with a flowing top are usually my first choices.

10. A camera


College does not last forever, but the memories we make will. Take some pictures of you and your closest friends so you will have pictures to cherish for years to come.

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.

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.
