It's the week we've all been waiting for. That longed-for piece of freedom after midterms you thought you'd never make it to.

It's spring break.

Maybe you're going to party on the beach. Maybe you're taking a quick trip around the world. Or maybe you're just going home and have nothing planned at all. If that's the case, here are some things to do in case you get a little bored.

1. Binge watch a TV show

Netflix and Hulu have an almost endless amount of popular shows just waiting for you to click on. Get the popcorn and snacks ready cause you won't wanna leave the couch for a solid few days.

2. Restock your summer wardrobe in advance

It won't be long until we're home for the summer and have to transition from jeans to shorts. Plus, what better way to celebrate the end of the semester than coming home to a closet full of new clothes?

3. Take a quick road trip

Get some buddies and hop in the car for a few days. You can leave behind the stress of school and listen to some awesome jams while on the road.

4. Redecorate your room

Maybe your tastes have changed since you've been away. Take down the pop star posters and put up something that relates to what you're studying right now. Make it so that you look forward to coming home to it in a couple months.

5. Go tanning

If you're going to school in a more northern area and you're from the south, what better time to tan? You'll get to go back and have the best tan there.

6. Try restaurant hopping

I don't know about you, but I can always scarf down a meal. Drag your family around town and find some new places to eat out.

If anything, these things will take your mind off the fact that you'll have to go back to school in a few days to face the rest of the semester.

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

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.

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.
