5 Ways To Spend Spring Break Stuck In Your College Town

Sometimes break just creeps up on you

Ugh, it's finally Spring Break. Bless up.

Some of you have travelled to sunny places (lucky you).

Some of you have gone home (say hi to the fam).

And some of you let Spring Break creep up on you and you got no plans.

Same.

And that's okay. Here's some things to do if you're stuck in your college town.

1. Sleep

With no classes and a lot of people away, it's the perfect time to sleep. Yes. ALL the sleep. Catch up on it because it's going to be hard to find between post spring break and finals.

2. Work out

I know that doesn't sound like fun at all. But as someone who feels like they haven't utilized the wellness facilities on campus, I know I'm going to at least try to go to the rec center over break.

3. Binge that show you've been holding off on

You might not have been able to watch your favorite new binge because of classes and work and all that fun college stuff. Now is the time to binge it. Or, at least binge it without being stressed about using it as a procrastination method.

4. Explore your college town

Plenty of us are confined solely to campus during the academic year. There's so much more to your college town though. I mean, have you been to Main Street? Go bowling, get 4 Queens or Scratch, get off campus for a day and just explore.

5. Plan ahead


If college hasn't given you any time to think ahead, this is a good time. Granted, it might be a little stressful during a time where you're supposed to be on break. But take time to figure out what you could see yourself doing for the summer or (if you're graduating) a career starter and start looking into those jobs and internships and apply.

*For real though: anytime anyone tries to do anything in preparation past lunch the next day...*

Whatever you do, just do it! Enjoy break!

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
