While you are home, why not make the most of it?

1. Remember how much money you are saving

Take a moment to realize just how much money you are saving yourself. Your friends might be going fancy places for spring break, but their bank accounts are suffering. Yours isn't so at least that's a plus.

2. Spend time with family

For most of us, spring break is the first time in weeks we are actually able to go home for longer than just a quick weekend trip. So why not spend time with the people who have been missing you the most while you have been away. Family time is important and this is the perfect time to catch up on lost time.

3. Catch up on school work

School doesn't end just because spring break has begun, so why not take a day or two to catch up on school work, or even get ahead. Nothing sucks more than getting back from break and realizing the deadlines for assignments and tests are coming up quicker than expected. Take some time to get ahead.

4. Reunite with your hometown friends

Going to a different school from the people that you hung out with before college isn't fun and makes things hard. Why not spend time with the people that have been there from day one. Go have a coffee take, shopping spree or go on adventures with the people who you miss most while away.

5. Have some much needed "me time"

Being in college means that you never have any free time or time just relax and pamper yourself, and spring break is the perfect time to treat yourself. Go get your nails done or go shopping, me time is important and you should take advantage of all the free time you have because you will miss it once you head back to school.

6. Complete that task you have been putting off for so long

We all have that one thing we have to get done, but use the excuse of "I'm too busy" and never complete it. Make use of your time and get any tasks that you have been putting off, done. You'll thank yourself later.

7. Work

This might be the last thing you want to do on your week off, but who doesn't want a little extra spending money to bring back to school?

8. Organize your life

Whether this is done figuratively or literally, nothing feels better than getting yourself and the things around you in order.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
