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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
