7 Things To Do At Home For Spring Break

If you're like me, and some other college students, you're too broke to go to Mexico or go to Europe for spring break cause ya' know #brokecollegestudent and mom isn't going to pay for it. Anway, going home for spring break can be fun, I promise! If you're going home for it and have no idea what to do with your time at home, here are a few examples:

1. Watch Netflix 24/7:

I mean, think about it. When during the school year can you just watch Netflix for a whole week and not feel bad about it or have to pause a show because you have to go to class. Just imagine how many series you can get through! I say that's a amazing way to spend spring break.

2. Sleep:

One other thing you probably can't do during the semester is just sleep all day and not set an alarm. Now you can do that! Just imagine how great it's gonna be to sleep in your OWN bed and not a twin XL dorm room bed.

3. Play with your dog (or whatever pet you may have):

I cried going to college saying goodbye to my dog. We all fear that they will forget about us as we head off to school. But now you get to spend a whole week with them! I can't imagine having a week off and not going home to see my dog. Sometimes you just need your pup.

4. Eat:

Eat at all your favorite hometown restaurants! I mean more then likely the next time you'll be able to eat there is summer....so why not eat them as much as you can during spring break?! And forget #springbreakbod. I rather be full eating happy then working on that bod. So start making a list of everywhere you plan on eating.

5. Hangout with friends:

This is a no brainer. I don't know why you wouldn't want to do this.

6. Go visit all the hangout places from high school:

Just for old times sake and sweet, sweet mems. It'll be be worth it, I promise.

7. Go shopping:

Another bonus of going home for spring break is that your parents are paying for your stuff again. Tell your mom you need some mother/daughter bonding and go shopping!! Now you have all these cute new going out clothes.

There are a few ways to turn that frown upside down if you're mad about going home for spring break. Also, find fun events going on when you're home and go to them! Or visit a state park. You'll end up appreciating spring break. I promise.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
