Spring Break is the most important element to any college bucket list! However, a spring break trip can be so much more than just a few days of partying on the beach. This spring break, make a promise to let yourself explore and see everything that the world has in store.

1. You will experience something new.

That "something new" may be an experience that changes your life. From traveling upstate for a few weeks to going somewhere warm, it will most likely be a new experience.

2. You will meet new friends.

When traveling, be open to meeting new people. Often they have different views, life experiences, and paths that challenge your own. This is a good thing.

3. You will bond with old friends.

If you take a trip with friends from school, you will most likely become closer than ever before. When people leave school, a bond is formed through joint experience and a lack of social expectations.

4. You will have some great stories to tell.

From long nights to exploring a hidden path, you are bound to amass a collection of fantastic stories to tell. Life is short so the best way to live it is fully.

5. You will have some amazing and terrible pictures.

Yes, some of those pictures will look great on Instagram. No, that one from the beach at 4am after a few Margaritas is not one of them. However, all of them are a reminder of that life changing experience.

6. You will figure out the places you love and the places you hate.

You may fall in love where you visit... or you may hate it. Either way you will have developed a preference and taste that will alter and shape your life.

7. You will grow as a person.

Creating new memories, meeting new people, and having new experiences will result in a better you. You shouldn't travel because you are young. You should travel because it keeps the soul young and growing.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
