Why You Should Actually Stay At College For Spring Break

Staying at your “college home" may be better than going to your parents' home, or even vacationing.

Why You Should Actually Stay At College For Spring Break

In This Article:


There's this allure around spring break. Many people associate this time in college with parties, beaches, or going home to see their families.

While these are good options, staying in your own space such as your college apartment may be even better. Here are four reasons why:

1. Relaxation

Staying home alone can be good. It gives you the time to just relax and enjoy some 'you time'. You also aren't required to wake up according to anyone else's rules or time schedule. This gives the perfect opportunity for you to catch up on some much needed rest!

2. Get caught up

While spring break is typically taken to be for hanging out and relaxing, this time can also be used to get caught up on homework and any job-related tasks. Staying at home will not present the distractions that come with family and vacationing.

3. Explore the town

Another cool thing about staying in your college town during spring break is that you can enjoy the local stores, museums, and everything else that the city has to offer, without too much of a time crunch due to classes and homework.

4. Clean your space

Lastly, but not least, you can use this free time to clean up and declutter your personal space, which is something that can be let slide during the busy school week. While this is work, it can be relaxing and therapeutic to make your space a clean and clear one. This can help reduce stress when spring break is over and classes resume.

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.

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.
