{Original Image} Over the years, spring break has been highly romanticized in pop culture. We often associate spring break with wild parties, bikinis and beaches, or doing dumb stuff with your friends. While I wasn’t able to get any of the former two things, I was able to get the latter: fun with friends. You…

We’ve all seen one, talked to one, and perhaps fallen for one, but in the end once a jerk always a jerk, right? As a member of the female gender, I find that we always tend to fall for the “bad boy” or at least the vast majority of teenage girls. A lot of the…
I think you already know what I’m going to talk about.
