Six Tips For Spring Break
HerCampus

Spring break is finally around the corner. I haven’t had much luck in going on a nice trip for spring break the past few years, but this year I plan on doing something other than going back to my hometown. From my experience, I have complied a list of tips to help you make the most of your spring break.

1. Go somewhere where you have family.

Most college students do not have money to go to a nice extravagant place. We don’t save our money because we need it for expensive textbooks and food. If you want to go on a trip try to go somewhere you have family that way you can save money on a hotel room. A hotel for six nights can add up to a lot of money. You will be doing your wallet a favor by staying with family and saving the rest of your money for food and activities.

2. Don’t wait until your last year of college.

Do not be like me and wait for your final year of college to do something for spring break. Take any opportunity that you have to go on a trip no matter how small it is. You are only young once. You will never have this opportunity again to enjoy spring break at the ages from 18 to 21.

3. Binge watching is a must.

Let’s be honest, if you have Netflix you already binge watch shows all the time. This happens most when you are supposed to be doing your work. Spring break gives you the chance to not feel bad for binge watching for a whole week. You do not have any work to worry about, so go ahead and watch ten hours of "Gossip Girl" or "A Different World." I will not judge you.

4. Sleep is essential.

I have lost so much sleep these past few weeks. I can’t wait for a week of sleeping in. I challenge you to sleep in at least an extra hour. You’re going to thank me when finals week come.

5. If you an over achiever (like me), get ahead.

Although I plan on sleeping and binge watching my current shows, I do plan on doing homework over the break. I will not be able to relax knowing that I have two papers due when I get back from break. If I knock those papers out early on during break I can have more time to relax during break. I want to come back from break with a sense of relaxation not stress.

6. Enjoy your break.

The most important tip would be to enjoy yourself. As I said earlier, you are only young once so enjoy spring break. As you get older spring break will mean something different to everyone. Take the time to do something you really want to do.

Have a great spring break!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
