8 Reasons Why Easter Deserves Some Appreciation

Easter is right around the corner. It’s time for all the all awkward family get togethers, the sickening amount of pastels, and excessive amounts of white chocolate. Even if you don’t celebrate Easter you most likely go home and get the candy on sale. Easter is a weird holiday without the religious background. You look for eggs from a rabbit meanwhile rabbits don’t lay eggs. Everything is pastel white chocolate and nuts and fruit. No one cares more about pastels then Easter time. There’s this odd obsession with carrots but carrots aren’t the main food. We get candy carrots. The main dish for Easter is ham. It’s just a dish completely unrelated to eggs and bunnies and carrots. Thanksgiving makes sense. Christmas is always family dishes but Easter is this weird combination of things. It’s a pastel mess.

1. Extra Break

It’s great to have another break from school. I don’t care if it’s labor day or Flag Day I’m glad I have another break.

2.Candy


As weird as the candy is some of it delicious: Reese’s eggs or Cadbury anything or Chocolate rabbits.

3.Non-Cafe Food



This doesn’t need an explanation

4.Meet Other Families


Most holidays are bug events like Christmas everyone knows to spend with their own family but Easter is the best holiday to go home with your friends from college or meet your S.O’s family. It’s a more relaxed holiday.

5.Room for Creativity

You get to find weird places to hide eggs for the kids in your family or paint eggs in cute ways. You can make Disney themed eggs or tie dye them.

6.It’s Less to Carry


Christmas at someone else’s house is awful because you have to bring not only the food but the gifts. Easter it’s just some food and maybe baskets but it’s all together and easier to carry. It’s not an assortment of boxes and bags and pots.

7.Less Stress


No one really rushes or stresses about Easter dinner/lunch. Thanksgiving dinner is always a busy kitchen. Easter is a very relaxed dinner with easier foods that don’t have to cook for 12 hours. Plus you have the weekend to prep unlike Thanksgiving when everyone has work and classes the Wednesday before.

8. Kids are Hilarious


Kids either hate or love the Easter bunny. Sometimes it's the funniest thing. Kids are just all over the place from the sugar but they have other kids to be entertained with. Eventually they crash from their sugar rush.


No matter what you do for Easter break enjoy your time off.

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.

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.
