It’s Spring Break 2017 and you don’t have big plans. While everyone is going to the Bahamas on a cruise or renting a condo on some exotic beach, you’ll be going home, hanging out with family and friends, eating your weight in home cooking, and doing nothing. Even though you may have some FOMO from all the adventures you might be missing, there’s nothing wrong with kicking back, relaxing, and have no plans at all. After going through hell this semester, taking a break and laying on the couch sounds like the best option. Nonetheless, here are 7 things you shouldn't have to feel guilty about doing on Spring Break

1. Being with Family and Friends

After being away from your family and hometown friends, it’s okay to just hang out and catch up with them. Don’t feel like you missed out on a ‘wild spring break’ because you took your grandmother out to lunch.

2. Eating

Forget the Spring Break body. Eat your heart out and fill up on some homemade food. Never feel guilty and remember that your stomach is bigger than your eyes.

3. Sleeping

Your body needs a recovery week after spending midterms staying up all night in the library writing papers, finishing projects, and cramming a half a semester worth of information into your brain in a matter of one night. It wouldn’t kill you to get on a normal sleep schedule for once.

4. Doing Nothing

Being an involved college student, as cliché as it sounds, can be draining. It’s possible that your Spring Break plans are indeed doing nothing.

5. Drinking

Enjoying a cocktail or two is always a great idea for a Spring Break plan. Whether it’s by the pool, with your breakfast, or wine and a movie, Spring Break isn’t complete without a little concoction.

6. Binging Netflix

It’s been a while since you’ve been completely able to binge watch your favorite shows without a care in the world. Time to catch up and see how many episodes you can fit into a 24 hour period.

7. Getting Ahead

Although you should definitely give yourself a little break, we all know that post-Spring Break will be equally as stressful as the one you left behind. Your problems aren’t going to disappear and it’s okay to prepare for what is to come.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
