Drowning in school work right now? Don't worry— soon you will be off for Spring break. Something to look forward to, right?? If you are feeling like even Spring break does not seem too exciting at the moment because you are staying home, now is the time to start getting excited. Motivate yourself to finish all of the work you have now by planning your very own ultimate staycation. Nobody ever said you had to break the bank to have a little fun!

Pack the car. It's road trip time.

Skip the stress of expensive travels, delayed flights, and missing luggage. Pile your friends in the car, get on the road, and don't look back. It doesn't matter the destination. The ride is most of the fun anyway!

Live music is the best kind of music

Buy tickets now, and kick off your Spring break with an outdoor concert.

Play tourist

There are so many tourist attractions right under your nose. We tend to take our own hometowns for granted. Enjoy all the perks of being home, and play tourist in your own neighborhood.

Put your skills in the kitchen to the test

Not much of a cook? No time better than the present. If you are a little unsure about any real cooking right now, start easy by getting together with your friends to make smoothies and/or açai bowls. With these tropical treats, you might as well be on a hot beach on vacation!

Take a hike

Now that you are outside the walls of classrooms, you might as well enjoy the great outdoors. Cheer on the incoming warm weather with a local hike.

Shopping can be a lot of fun, but shopping on a budget is even better! Head over to a local thrift store and start shopping. Turn that old jean jacket into a trendy piece for your closet.

Start chasing sunsets

These days sunset time is just around dinner time. Grab some take-out Chinese food (or your dinner of choice), and sit back to enjoy the show.

Do not underestimate the fun of an amusement park

Maybe you haven't been to the amusement park nearby since you were a little kid. Now is the time to relive the nostalgia (and adrenaline!) at your local amusement park.

Throw your own paint night

Painting just for the fun of it with your friends is completely underrated. Add drinks and snacks to the mix and you have yourself a memorable night with your friends, not to mention a pretty painting to remember the night with.

Excited now?? Me too. Don't empty your wallet this Spring break. Good fun does not have to mean big money.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
