In life, you will come across many questions that you just can not find the answer to. Such as, what is the meaning of life? Does a bear poop in the woods? If a tree falls down in the forest when nobody is around, does it make a sound? Why do nachos taste so much better at hockey games? What can I do to have the best spring break in college?

Spring break is the time in your college years that you spend doing whatever you can to get your mind off of the stress of classes, tests and homework. This was my first spring break of my college experience and I could not have had a better time at home.

Most importantly, I got to spend some quality time with my family. I miss them so much when I'm away at college and I cherish every minute I spend with them. I would trade anything in the world in order to have some time to spend with them.

I also got to see some of my closest friends from back home. I hadn't seen them in what felt like forever and it made me overly excited when I saw them. Along with seeing my friends, I also saw 2/3 of them at the musical that my high school had put on. They did an amazing job and I'm beyond glad I got to take a trip to see it.

I got to go to my very first hockey game with my dad and my brother. It was probably the most amazing experience of my life so far. Getting to see my favorite team play at home and win was the perfect experience for my first game. I also had some delicious nachos and I still have no answer to why they taste so much better at hockey games.

Also, as any responsible college student, I spent three days of my break working to make some extra cash. I won't say it was the highlight of my break, but it wasn't terrible either.

All in all, my first spring break in college was a success in my opinion. I honestly do not know what else I could have done to make it an even better experience. Just being able to come home and spend some quality time with my family and friends was a good enough break for me. I'm overly thankful for the opportunities I had that made my Spring break an even more fun and exciting time. It's going to be rough having to move back into college and leave my friends and family behind, but I know I'll be home again soon and I'll then be able to make more memories.
