Things To Do Over Spring Break

If you're just staying home, that is.

Things To Do Over Spring Break

A lot of students travel during spring break in college. Some just stay home. I go to college in my hometown, so I don't have to travel more than a few miles from school to home. Since I won't be spending hours in a cramped car driving to see my parents, I will be doing several other things that I've been putting off all semester.

Sleeping In

This goes without saying. Although I have several obligations to work on over my break, I will definitely make up time for this one by not turning my alarm on.

Catching Up On Homework

If you're anything like me, you get overwhelmed and need a break sometimes. That break replaces some of the reading that I have to do for my classes. Personally, my break takes place in the form of sleep.

Four of my five classes this semester are reading-intensive. The only one that I've read consistently for is French Literature because the class is too small to get away with not reading. As a literature course, the entire class is centered on the reading. I've neglected some reading for my English Literature class, quite a bit for Modern Philosophy, and most of the reading for French Film. So, over break, I will be catching up on these readings. I suggest the same to all other procrastinators!

Getting Ahead And Studying

After catching up, I plan on getting ahead. I'll be reading ahead for the classes that I previously mentioned, studying the next chapter for my German class, and making more of an effort to get ahead in my French classes and English class. I'll probably try to work on papers that I'll have due after spring break.

Creative Work

Because I will have time, rather than struggling to make time as I do during the semester, I will be able to work on things that I like doing. These things include trying to analyze and understand characters in stories, shows, and movies that I like, as well as trying to create fictional characters in my own writing. Obviously, for me, keeping up with required school work is a major task, so creativity gets put on the back burner pretty quickly.

Playing With My Dogs

This is one thing that I do all year, but that I will definitely have more time for over spring break. Even if I'm not playing with my dogs for the entire time that I'm home, I can still be with them during my entire week out of school. That's a huge bonus for me and I'm sure that it is for them as well.


As of noon on Friday, March 4th, until I go to sleep the night of March 13th, I will be free to enjoy some much needed free time and I will be doing homework without fear of failure. I hope that everyone considers doing the same things, as I believe that most are beneficial and I hope that everyone has a fun and safe spring break.

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.
