8 Activities To Do If You Are Stuck In Houston For Spring Break

Spring break is coming up. For seven days, 158 hours, 10,080 minutes you will be free from class, professors, and that annoying kid that sits next to you in your English lecture. Phew. Unlucky for you, however, you will be stuck at home for whatever reason it may be. For me, being on a dance team I don't have the liberty of taking a week off. So, before you drown your sorrows and start your Netflix and ice cream binge, here's some local fun things you can get into:

1. Eat

Well, duh. But eat well. You're on vacation right? Why not stuff a 2,000 calorie burger down your throat? Pictured above is from Shake Shack, which recently opened in the Galleria. Besides Shake Shack, however, there's a million and one amazing eateries here in Houston

2. Drink

This one is another no brainer. Off of school, time to party! I would suggest one of the many outdoor bars we have here in Houston. Pictured above is Axelrad, a beer garden with a patio and outdoor entertainment

3. The Rodeo

Not a huge fan myself, but this year Alicia Keys, The Chainsmokers (Baby pull me closer in the backseat of your rover...), and even Blink 182 will be making appearances. Get your tickets in advance and be sure to get a deep friend oreo!

4. Cool off with some shaved ice

I haven't been here myself but I heard it was the best in Houston, and honestly there's no other cool delight than flavored ice. Yum.

5. Shop Outdoors

Houston has a plethora of outdoor shopping malls that I know your empty wallet is just calling for you to get out to. Pictured above is Houston Premium Outlets, which is outdoors AND discounted.

6. Miller Outdoor Theater

Perfect for date night! The opening will be on March 17th, be sure to bring blankets and snacks and enjoy a show in this beautiful outdoor theater.

7. Rent a bike in downtown Houston

If you've ever walked around downtown, you might have stumbled upon some bike racks, where yes, you can rent bikes hourly. Not only are you getting some fresh air and light cardio, but you get a chance to explore the beautiful city that we all know and love.

8. Outdoor yoga

Discovery Green offers outdoor yoga on Saturdays and some Mondays, just be sure to check the calendar on their website. Because who doesn't want some namaste with the scorching Houston heat penetrating their backs?

There ya have it, now when you're scrolling through countless beach and bikini pictures on Instagram, at least you can say you did some outdoor yoga and biked around downtown Houston. Live it up, friends!

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.
