Spring Break - The Ultimate College Checklist

T- 2 weeks until spring break, are you ready? Mentally yes, but physically no. The same amount of midterm preparation goes for spring break.

You probably have about three tests, 15 projects and an interview for your summer internship before you can truly start thinking about Spring Break.

Most people have already booked their round-trip tickets to Cabo and their bank accounts are dwindling as they order the latest $100 Frankie’s Bikinis.

The only thing missing that can’t be packed in my suitcase are those washboard Instagram abs I promised myself I would have this break. The pressures of spring semester are real, when spring break is just a preview of your summer bod.

Waking up at 8 a.m. for the third day of full legs at kickboxing will be worth it. Pass on the chocolate covered strawberries and feel proud you resisted the urge for today. Just under 3 weeks to go.

Next on the checklist is booking the pre-spring break spray tan- so either way, you have some contrast from the sand. After all, what is spring break without those hot beach pictures?

Most girls are already sharing secrets of gluten-free diets or trying the latest tea trend. The hardest part is giving up Thursday pasta nights and trying not to drink your weight every weekend leading up to break.

We are going to be so proud once we get through the stresses of school and can finally relax and live it up whatever you choose to do during the break.

Picture yourself sipping on a pina colada at Mango Deck making memories with all of your close friends and being far away from your weekly psychology papers.

Just remember, most of the state of Arizona will be in Mexico...so bring your A game. Time to get fit, tan and fun.

At the end of the day our parents aren’t too thrilled about us heading to Mexico but that week might be a week of questionable decisions. Make sure to stay hydrated, rally/nap when needed and have a Spring Break to remember.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself.
