How To Crush Your Spring Break Even If You Are Staying Home

It's less than a week till Spring Break and I can tell you, I have never been more excited.

We need this break.

We deserve this break.

People have been talking and there are people headed to Florida, Aruba, the Bahamas, and every other warm spot in the world. I, however, am headed back home to Central Indiana. Exciting, I know. As lame as it sounds, I am pumped to go home. Indy is no Florida, but the break from school is what truly counts. Here's how I am planning on having a great spring break no matter where I am.

Relax time.

This is it, guys. The moment we've all been waiting for. I don't know about you, but this semester has been hectic and much harder than the last. I am most excited to lay in my bed and watch Netflix day in and day out and just relax. This is by far the best thing to look forward to during break.

Home cooked meals.

The most important thing in the world to college students. My mom is a former chef, so everything she cooks is to die for. When I'm at college nothing is even NEAR as good as her food. She makes everything homemade and nothing compares to her food at school. I can't wait for that white chicken chili and lots of food cooked on the grill.

Spring weather.

Let's be real, the weather is not going to be hot. Although, spring weather is really nice. Generally sunny and sometimes breezy. That is the kind of weather I live for. People spend so much time trying to get tan over break when really they should be enjoying the weather, riding their bikes, and taking their dogs for walks. Spring break can be just as great with warm-ish weather.

Seeing friends from home.

While lots of friends will be gone, if you stay home, you'll likely get to see each one of them at some point whether they come home for the whole break or for a day or two. This is always something I look forward to because, during the school year, I don't get to see many of my friends from home.

Making extra cash.

We're all broke college students and whether you like working or not, money is always the motive. Making extra spending money, or saving money if you're smart, is always the best thing to do over break. We can all use some extra cash.

Whether you're headed to the Caribbean or back home to Indy, you're bound to enjoy spring break. It's how you take it that matters. Enjoy the break and relax. School isn't out, but only nine more weeks till summer. Live it up!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
