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

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.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
