What To Expect For Spring Break

We've all been there.

What To Expect For Spring Break
Blogspot

It's finally coming. Spring Break! Midterms are the price we must pay for our freedom, but it's worth it. Live it up and have a week of amazing memories to reflect upon sitting incases after you return.

1. Air Sickness?


Let's hope not. If you're going somewhere exotic then you can expect to be flying in a tiny puddle jumper plane at some point. Then you'll be landing in an equally tiny airport that offers all the souvenirs or keychains you can imagine, for the tourists to waste money on. Just take some Prozac and you'll forget why you were so nervous.

2. Infested Hotel Room

On a budget? Don't worry, so is every other college student, but if spring break is anything like the legend, you'll hardly even be in the room. Maybe just to bathe, but you can sleep on the beach, right? Who knows what stains are on that bed, I wouldn't risk it.

3. Feel The Burn

You forgot tanning lotion isn't the same as sunscreen. Thought you'd impress everyone back at school with your glowing tan skin and naturally highlighted hair? Haha-- you're funny, you also forgot about your Irish heritage. Whoops, your bad.

4. Perks

Time to day drink and do nothing else, cause guess what? You're legal here!! It's 18 and up, baby. Life is good. Just don't think about how you'll feel when you wake up to see the hundreds of people crowding the beach because they're also on spring break.

5. Don't Drink the Kool-Aid

Going to distant lands is fun, but they have different bacterias and parasites, so you'll want to consult your doc to prevent a week spent in the bathroom instead of the surf and sand. Avoid tap water and ice if you don't know where it came from, or just chug the alcohol to kill the devil inside you.

6. Throw Some Mo'


Don't be spending all that cash in the first two days. You have to survive for a whole week on your own for the first time in your life. So avoid the strip clubs and spending money at restaurants and bars. Go to a grocery store to stock for the week in preparation.

7. Freedom, maybe?

You are officially away from the folks, on a friends only vacation where you won't be told no or ridiculed for errors in judgment made the night before. You had better still check in every so often or those long distance parents will be knocking on your hotel door to make sure you're still alive so they can kill you themselves.

8. Don't Die

Hydrate, try not to drown or be eaten by a shark. The week was a success, and you wouldn't change anything about it because in the end these are the memories you'll never forget. Time to celebrate your survival!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
