Spring break is a week dedicated to making memories with friends and visiting family. It is a time given to take a break from college and enjoy the warm weather. Although it should be a week filled of fun, many college students forget about responsibilities and go a little crazy. It's important to remember to take care of yourselves and plan your time wisely. Follow these Do's and Dont's for a successful spring break.

1. DO: Wear sunscreen. You definitely do not want to get a sunburn on your first day at the beach and ruin your spring break by spending the rest of the week hiding from the sun.

2. Don't: Caption all of your pictures "Spraaaang Break." No one wants to see the same thing over and over on their timelines. This isn't "Spring Breakers" and you are not James Franco.

3. Do: Plan ahead. Traveling with friends and family to new and exciting places is an amazing experience. By planning ahead you can be saving money and ensuring an eventful spring break full of fun activities.

4. Don't: Post anything on social media that you would not want your mom to see. Remember that future employers can also check social media accounts before hiring.

5. Do: Leave your expensive items at home. You do not want to lose your diamond earrings in the ocean or leave your Prada sunglasses behind at a bar.

6. Don't: Forget the buddy system. Many places during spring break can easily get crowded and confusing so make sure to remain with your friends and watch out for one another.

7. Do: Make a budget. Drinks and souvenirs can be expensive and you will not want to run out of money halfway through your week. Making a budget and sticking to it ensures that you'll spend your money wisely.

8. Don't: Leave trash behind. Every year multiple beaches are left with liter after the spring breakers leave. Have fun but respect the area and pick up after yourselves.

9. Do: Try something new. Now is the time to try jet-skiing or renting scooters to drive around town. Spring break is a time for adventuring and trying new things with friends.


10. Don't: Forget about your families. For those that do not live at home, chances are that you don't get very many chances to see your family. Although taking a trip for a few days with friends is great, plan a few days to spend time with your parents and siblings.

11. Do: Make sure that your reservations are in order. Arriving a destination and not being able to get your rental car or hotel room will put a damper on your plans and can make for a stressful time.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
