Why go somewhere when you could stay home?

Top 10 Reasons to Stay Home for Spring Break

Spring break is the one break that everyone looks forward to; the one where everyone has plans to go to Florida with their roommates, or go hiking in the mountains. While all of these are great adventures that will create lasting memories, these trips are not the best thing to do on spring break.

The best thing to do on spring break is stay home.

Here are a few reasons why:

1. You can stay home and watch Netflix without the impending nervousness that an assignment is due.


Okay, let's be real. Even when you're not on break, you're at home watching Netflix. But there's nothing as great as watching Netflix when you don't have to worry about homework due tomorrow! You can sit back, grab a snack, and stay under your favorite blanket all day while watching your favorite shows. No added stress.

2. Sleeping in.


Need I say more?
Nonetheless, there is nothing better than waking up at 10:30 in the morning and realizing you would have slept through a class or two if you weren't on break.

3. Playing Sims for hours on end again when it's been months since you've last played.


Or any game you prefer, but let's be real: this generally happens with any given Sims game.

4. You have loads of time to work on your personal hobbies.


Whether it be crafts, reading, fishing, or any other hobby we all find ourselves engrossed in, you have at least one week to do it without having any other obligations. All hobby- no interruptions.

5. Since most of your friends are away for spring break, you aren't obligated to hang out with them.


We all love our friends, okay? But sometimes it is just so nice to not have to go out of the house or hang out with anyone, regardless of who they are. The fact that most of them are out of town just makes this seem less rude.

6. You don't have to deal with any classmate or person in general who annoys you.


So maybe the people aren't as annoying as you think. But when you've been with them for half of a semester, it's nice to have a break.

7. There is more time to take care of yourself.


There is nothing like having a few days where the only thing you have to focus on is yourself. Whether you're spending some money on yourself or just taking some more time to take care of yourself, it's a win-win situation.

8. You get to be as goofy as you want to be without other people judging you.


Sing into your hairbrush as loudly as you can. Make yourself some glasses out of paper. Who cares? It's your break, you do you.

9. No pants required in the comfort of your own home.


It's your house. Do your thing comfortably.

10. Indulging yourself in your guilty pleasures with no embarrassment.


Whether you're writing fanfiction, or perhaps reading it, anything that is a hidden guilty pleasure is now free reign with no fear of anyone else seeing it.

So stay home and enjoy yourself this spring break!

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
