With spring break just around the corner, everyone is getting antsy. Girls are starting to eat only a granola bar a day, the gym is busier than I've ever seen, and people are trying to get their plans in order. The best part about spring break isn't just that it's a week off of school (which is amazing don't get me wrong), but it's a week off where college kids can basically go wherever they want with some of their best friends. Here's some of the classic places you'll find college students heading to in the coming weeks.

1. Destin

Destin, or basically any Florida beach is a classic move for spring break. It's an ideal place to go because how cheap it is to get a condo and cram all 15 of your friends in there for less than $250 for the week. Although spring break is in March and it'll still be kinda cold, you can catch pretty much every freshman chilling on the beach all week.

2. Cancun

There's always that one group whose parents are obviously not worried about money and send their kids off to Cancun for the week. Don't get me wrong, this does sound absolutely amazing but no way I could afford that on top of tuition. Props to you if you're going though.


3. Haiti

Definitely can't forget about the people heading out to serve for the week. Many of them spend the week playing with kids or building a playground for them to play on. I admire them so much to give up their potential beach trip to go to Haiti or somewhere else and give back. Hopefully, I'll get the chance to do this in the next 3 years.

4. Home

One thing you can't deny you low-key want to do is just take the week off at home. Although it may not be the crazy beach weekend everyone dreams of when they come to college, it exactly what you need. There's nothing like a home-cooked meal and a couple great nights of sleep in your own bed.

I am personally doing the classic freshman thing and heading to Destin in a few weeks for a much needed week of relaxation. Of course, I'm squeezing in some time at home too for the last few days before heading back to Ole Miss for the remainder of the semester. I'm sure you'll see many posts of all of the colleges' kids heading to various parts of the country for spring break, so you're bound to see the ones I mentioned too!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
