Spring Cleaning... Your Life
Katie Kelley

The birds are singing, bees are buzzing and the flowers are blooming. Hopefully, everything around you is starting to be a little brighter and happier. With that, that means Spring has finally arrived and it's time to say goodbye to a few things. Old clothes, crappy friends and bad habits. Just like that New Years resolution you made just a few months ago... and never completed? Well no need to worry, its time for your new resolution! New spring, New You... Right?

Old Clothes

Spring means warmer weather and warmer weather means bringing back out all of those cute short sleeve tops and those adorable shorts you tucked away last November. Bringing out your old clothes and doing a little shopping means you have to get rid of some old things. Think back to the past couple of cold months and then take a look at your wardrobe... Is there anything you didn't wear? Anything that didn't fit? If so, it's a goner.

Crappy friends

While you're getting rid of those clothes that you didn't need anymore, why don't you get rid of those friends who maybe aren't 'fitting' anymore. It is okay to get rid of friends... Maybe not get rid of but just hide in the back of all your other friends for a while, just like that shirt your mom got you for Christmas that comes around every once in a while, but isn't the best thing you could wear. That crappy friend may be that shirt you never want to take out of the drawer. So why not just get rid of it while you're getting rid of other things? In the long run, it will help you if you take away the crappy friends who just drag you down. Gotta start working on that New You.

Bad Habits

Remember that annoying habit you do when you're nervous? Or when you tell yourself that you're done having late night snacks that include chocolate, ice-cream and your favorite candy? Well the New Spring, New You says no more! It is time to break those habits that you and everyone around you can not stand. It takes 30 days for someone to break a habit and the first day of Spring is today, March 20th. Even if you're reading this a couple days late, if you start changing your bad habits into good habits today, by the end of April, the New You is in full swing.


No one ever said it would be easy to get rid of some clothes you never wear, friends who aren't making you better and habits that no one can stand. But it is time to get your life in shape, summer is fast approaching. Keep in mind that if you get rid of these things now, you won't be wasting your time when summer break is here and you could be sitting outside in the sun. Just keep telling yourself New Spring, New You.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
