The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and we are all donning our newest and cutest rain boots. Spring has certainly sprung!

The only thing getting us through the last couple of weeks of classes are the shirtless soccer players practicing on the green and the scent of summer in the air.

To get yourself through these last final weeks of classes, unleash your adventurous spirit and go on a picnic! Grab a friend, pack a lunch and look up some great local picnic areas or go find your own.

This past spring, I spent the entire semester in Los Angeles participating in an internship-focused “abroad” program. The goal of an internship is to gain experience in a field you’re interested in, make connections, build your resume and hopefully have some fun along the way.

Prior to coming out here I'd had one small internship before, so this was my first truly immersed experience, and trust me, I’ve gotten a lot out of it. Here’s what I’ve learned.

It's been a busy month for us at U Chic -- we've been sharing our career advice and hope our tips help you with your job search!

As I'm sure you've heard many times before, getting involved on your campus is extremely important.

Involvement not only helps you find experience that you can put on a resume but can also become a great way to make friends.

But what if, on top of all that, you're also working for a greater cause? Many colleges offer service organizations that allow you to do some good and get that experience you need.

With warmer months ahead of us, young women are starting to get concerned with their wardrobe, their bikini body and a multitude of other things. The thing I’m becoming worried about? My curly, frizzy hair.

When I was in college, I would often heard girls jokingly say, “I’m giving up on my major and am just going to get my MRS degree.”

Hardly any of them meant what they said, but I’m sure there are quite a few girls out there that would jump at the chance to be whisked off their feet by a rich, smart, handsome man and be taken care of for the rest of their lives.

However, especially in this age of "girl power," many of us strong-willed ladies intend to finish college with a degree in something we are passionate about and then, in turn, obtain a full-time job doing something we love with that degree we all worked so hard for.

Choosing a major in college is one of the most important decisions any student makes.

It's a declaration of what you will be planning to do with your career, and it's a decision that should take thoughtful consideration and time.

When it comes to choosing your major, I encourage you to delve into the future.

Spring has arrived and that means the sun is starting to get stronger. Before you know it, summer will be thrust upon us, and we’ll be hiding from the heat.

Even though with summer comes glorious tanned skin, we all have to remember that even though we might like the way we look with a bronzed glow, we have to protect our skin from the harmful UV rays.

Some of us might forget that even when aren’t laying on the beach, the sun is still shining and it still poses a danger to us and our skin.
