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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
