Reason Staying Home For Spring Break Is The Better Option

Laying on the couch all week never felt so good!

Reason Staying Home For Spring Break Is The Better Option

It's finally here; spring break! Everyone is running the opposite way of campus, but where are you headed? Most are off to the beach, Daytona, woo! Good for you for wanting to spend a week blowing all your money on a below average hotel! I'm sure you'll have so much fun beachin' with the entire university!

But I have to admit, I am completely content with not going on a road trip this year, and where I am headed is right to bed. Going home for entire week may not seem like fun for some, but I absolutely can't wait for these exact reasons.

I need a break.

After these nine weeks of nothing but school work without even a single day off, there is nothing I need more than to just lay on the couch for an entire week of binge watching the whole first season of "Fuller House" that I haven't had the time to sit down and enjoy yet.

Being at home means real groceries.

The fridge has actual, real food, and you can eat it on actual, real plates! Is this what heaven looks like? Because I think so. You can't get a home cooked meal at the beach now can you? While you're at home, you can indulge on some of your favorite hometown restaurants too. And yes, your dog will be just as excited to see you as this one is to see this plate of meat.

A week of relaxation means no alarms.

Sleep. And sleep some more. That week of midterms has burned you out and it's time to sleep for about three days straight because you have no obligations to get up for.

Or it means the complete opposite.

Or if you're like me, being home for break means you get extra days to work. Yes, this means a little less sleeping, but don't pretend we don't all need the cash. And the best part about my job is that there's great food here too! The moral of the story is you never go hungry while at home.

Your liver needs a break.

A beach vacation is doing nothing but continuous harm. Not only do you need rest, but so does your body. A week at the beach means a week of belonging to the drinking class... Don't you have enough of this at school?

Mommy is there to take care of you.

When I called my mom bawling last week, I think she got the hint about how stressed I am. She told my she was cleaning my room and would schedule us a spa day. Isn't she the best?

No matter what, spring break will be great. If you've never experienced a week at the beach with your friends, you should most definitely pile into a van and head down to Florida! But if you're on your way home for #SB2k16, you have it the best, in my opinion.

Enjoy a week of good food and a clean house while you relax before these last six weeks of school. Happy spring break everyone! Enjoy it no matter where you are!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
