Spring Break is a time that every college student looks forward to since it's a time of rest and relaxation.

A time and place of utter bliss, if you will. While many students retreat to tropical places and trips, there are also students headed home for their well-deserved break. While at home, there are so many things to do and places to see.

So if you find yourself looking for some inspiration for what do you over your Spring Break, here you go:

1. Take a day-trip or weekend trip to a nearby place.

There's nothing I love more than taking a trip to a new place or some of my favorite places near home. It's great to hop onto the train and go into the city for a day. It's a place filled with new adventures each time you go.

2. Go shopping.

It is the absolute best time to start stocking up on new clothes for the spring and even start your summer shopping. Treat yourself; you deserve it after all the work you have had for the past couple of weeks.

3. Start or finish the book sitting on your shelf.

I have about six books that are currently sitting on my shelf. I mean to read them, but I never have the time at school. Curl up on your couch or even outside (if it's warm enough) and get reading.

4. Spend time with your friends from home.

Have a girls night and get together with your friends from home. Nothing's better than lying around and watching a movie together. Rest and relaxation at its best.

5. Spend time with your family.

Break is the best time to catch up with your family. I love getting to day-trip to go see my family and spend time with them. Even taking the time to catch up with family that you don't get to see often is so nice. It's the perfect opportunity.

6. Go visit friends who aren't on Spring Break.

Everyone always has different time off for spring break, so take advantage of the opportunity. Travel to a friend and stay the night. See what their campus has to offer and meet some new people.

7. Sleep.

Honestly take a nap, sleep until one o'clock in the afternoon; your body needs the recharge. Take advantage of quiet, uninterrupted hours and hours of sleep. Your body will thank you later.

8. Start that new series on Netflix.

You have a whole week to binge watch. While it is dangerous and serious damage can be done, take the opportunity and start the series you have wanted to watch. The options are endless, so take advantage people.

9. Go outside.

Go for a run around the neighborhood or walk your dog. It's time to go outside, get some fresh air and recharge. Even just eating a meal outside with your family can help you relax.

10. Get organized.

Clean out your closet or your room. Maybe catch up on some schoolwork. I know, I know, nobody wants to do homework over break, but it's a good opportunity to get ahead on your work. Clean out your closet or your room. They don't call it spring cleaning for nothing.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
