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!

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
