A Broke College Student's Guide To Spring Break

Have no money to go anywhere over spring break? That's O.K. I feel that. So I am creating a list of things for people to do if you're like me. You have no money and really no friends since all of them are going to different places for spring break. You need something to do to keep yourself entertained. I have a list that will make not being in Florida a little more bearable.

1. A picnic on campus

Pack some sandwiches, some fruit, grab a bag of chips and some muffins and find a beautiful spot on your campus. I bet there are some unknown places you can go for some peace and quiet and good vibes.

2. Go to the lake

If you're near a lake or ocean, go enjoy the beach. It might not be Florida warm weather but at least you get out into nature and just sit in peace at the sound of the lake or ocean waves.

3. Go hiking at a state park

Even if you don't have a state park near you, it could be a fun mini vacation to drive to a state park. It gets you active and outside. It only costs you a couple dollars but a ton of fun.

4. Go on a hometown tour

If you go away for school you might have forgotten parts of your hometown. Spring break is the perfect time to re-explore your hometown and hit the tourist attractions. It could be fun to see what you haven't seen in a long time.

5. Bake with your friends

Hopefully, some of your hometown high school friends are staying home too so you have someone to bake with! Baking is always the move.

6. Make a homemade pizza

I know so many of my friends have done this and it's a fun, cheap thing to keep you occupied. It also involves food so automatic WIN.

7. Camp out in your backyard

Weather permitting, you can go out into your backyard set up a tent and sleep under the stars. So many adventures could arise.

8, Actually do your pinned Pinterest

Admit it. You have a hundred Pinterest boards with a thousand DIY crafts. Well, now you have an entire week off, so do it now! You have probably pinned enough DIY crafts to last you the whole week.

9. Get a manicure and pedicure with your friends

It's okay to treat yourself.

10. Binge watch an entire series on Netflix

Suggestions include: One Tree Hill, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Stranger Things, Grey's Anatomy, Gilmore Girls and Shameless.

11. Snapchat your friends who are on vacation

If all your friends are in Mexico or Florida and you're stuck at home, blow up their Snapchats with pictures of your dog.

12. Color in your adult coloring book

You probably have had no time to actually use all your adult coloring books but now you have a lot of time.

13. Lay in bed and cuddle your dog all day

Honestly, this is the move.

So don't frown if you are not going anywhere for spring break, your girl has you covered.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
