Spring break is the time that all college students look forward to.College students love spring break because it feels as though they haven't had a "relax" period in a long time. However, the extra time to work and make money and go on vacations doesn't hurt either. Here's a checklist of all the fun things we college students can do on spring break.

1. Roadtrip.

The destination doesn't matter. It could be a 3 hour drive or 13. Grab your friends, put them in a car, and make the most out of this break.

2. Work.

I know it's not glamorous, but that paycheck will be nice when you can work double hours.

3. Catch-up on that Netflix.

Most college students don't have time to watch netflix during the week and when the weekend comes we are loaded with homework. SO binge watch that One tree Hill or Scandal.

4. Sleep.

During the normal week of college what is sleep? Sleep is slim to none so when you get the chance to sleep in or just sleep more than 4 hours, take it!

5. Do what you love to do!

I don't know what you miss out during the countless hours of homework, but whatever your favorite thing to do is, find time to do it!

6. Go somewhere you've never been.

Some of these trips can be spendy; however, sometimes you can get lucky and find a steal at Disney world, on a cruise, or a cross country trip.

7. Relax.

Just relax. Take a bubble bath. Lay in bed and read. Watch movies. Hang out with friends.

8. Don't have a tight schedule.

This is your break, don't have this need to fit in one hundred things. Go with the flow, and have a good time.

9. Hang out with friends and family.

I know I don't get a lot of time during my busy schedule to hang out with my friends and family. Use this time to do something fun with the most important people in your life.

10. Lastly, take a break.

It's called a break for a reason. I know some professors still gave homework and you may still have to work. However, they call it spring break for a reason. Use some of that "down" time to have a mental, physical, and an emotional break from all the chaos.

Have a safe and fun Spring Break!

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
