Why Everyone Should Take A Spring Break

Every college student should take a trip somewhere for their spring break. After the beginning of a new semester we all hit the midterm sorrows. We are all stressed and worn out. Spring break is a time for us to get away from reality and relax for a while. When we get away we don't have to think about school or work. All we have to think about is what the weather will be like on the beach. For this week or so the only person you have to worry about is yourself. This can be a breath of fresh air for most of us!

Spring break is a time to be with friends or family and make the best of the time we have off. Think of it like a vacation from school where you shouldn't be worrying about assignments or tests. Doesn't that sound great? Wanna know what sounds even greater? Being on a beach, in the warm sun, with the sand on your feet. Yes, that sounds amazing! You can't tell me that you wouldn't love that.

Many students book trips in groups which makes it super fun because you are going somewhere with a bunch of friends, making tons of new memories. Each year there are always spring break destinations in the United States. Can you say road trip here we come? Driving can be longer than flying, but can definitely be more rewarding in the long run. You make more memories and create new experiences. Being in a car with people for hours upon hours really gives you a sense of who they are. Figuring out an airport can also bring new memories to a friendship. Traveling with friends can create bonds that last forever.

As broke college student it may seem impossible to pay for a spring break vacation. Asking your parents for a little help never hurts and start saving ahead of time. You can always use that extra financial aid too. No matter the amount of money you spend on spring break just remember that the memories are truly priceless. You won't get these chances every year and you need to take these opportunities when you can because they will bring you great times and even better memories.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
