It's midterms!! Everyone's favorite  part of the semester where the libraries are swarmed with overworked, sleep-deprived students, anxious to prove all the valuable knowledge they've retained throughout the semester thus far. Kind of hard to prove especially if you haven't done half of the readings or stayed awake during lecture. And even if you were on top of your game and know your information front and back, there's always the bell-cure to knock you down.  Don't even get me started on the bell-curve. Oh and most of the questions are at least ten times harder than they were in class. Plus, you're probably sick right like the rest of the student body. Sooooo I've decided to focus on Spring Break instead.  Way easier than studying. I'm tellin ya these are the must-haves of the season. Get your credit cards ready; you're about to do some damage.  source Guarantee if you got your swimsuit from Victoria's Secret, Buckle, or Target

Some of my best memories as a little kid come from summer camp. Every year, I would anxiously await the day I could finally head off to camp in search of new adventures. Soccer camp, Girl Scout camp, Camp Olson- I did it all, and loved every second of it.  As a little girl, it's safe to say that I wanted to be like my big sister. Cute, I know. We're actually completely opposite, but that didn't stop me from wanting to try everything that she did while still balancing everything that I loved to do. Anyway, one summer my sister went to an acting camp and absolutely loved it. Me being the annoying sister that I was, immediately decided that I had to try it as well. Luckily, one of my friends from school was also in the camp with me, giving me someone else to dive into it with me. I quickly realized how fun acting, dancing, and singing can be while surrounded by about 20 other random kids. Back then, it was easy to let loose, be silly, and carefree even in front of people I

I'm gonna cut to the chase on this one. If you have a potential Valentine, you have approximately 8 days to kick him to the curb. Ready- aaaand go. Here are 8 reasons not to have a Valentine, one for each day leading up to the 14th. It's all about the pros and cons. And in this case, the cons win. 1. Save $$$ Think of how much money you'll be saving. You won't have to buy him a gift or a cheesy Hallmark card. Seriously though, that money could be used for far more important things than what? Cologne? A shirt? Think about it, you're only buying those things to improve him. He's definitely not worth your time if 1) he smells and 2) he has no sense of style. Why not improve yourself instead by using that money for a manicure? Better yet, you could put it in your savings account. Think of how responsible you'll feel! Or...you could pick out a super sexy outfit and see what cupid has in store for you. Okay so I guess you don't really save any money per s
