8 Ways I Enjoyed Spring Break At Home

Spring break is the time that's actually before spring, but many college students use this time to enjoy spring in warmer places. A lot of my friends jetted off to warmer locations, but I spent a relaxing time at home with my family, enjoying the perks of home.

I spent quality time with my dogs.

These two cuties are always so happy to spend time with family.

Especially if you don't come home a lot during the school year.

I took breaks from constantly doing schoolwork.

I got to listen to some new music.

COS

By the way, this album is GREAT.

I got to see "Captain Marvel".

Captain Marvel - Imdb

The movie was really great. I highly recommend.

I slept in every day.

I even took a (chilly) trip to Point Pleasant Beach in New Jersey.

I love visiting the beach when it isn't so crowded, even if there are 15 mph winds.

I continued binging my favorite shows.

Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry, the expert bakers that judge every cake, biscuit, scone, and pie the contestants make.

PBS - Great British Baking Show: Season 2 Episodes

I have recently been continuing to watch PBS's "Great British Baking Show".

I enjoyed some delicious food.

Here is a delicious dish with rigatoni pasta, ragu, beef brisket, sausage, and meatballs. So delicious!

I ate well the entire break from my favorite local restaurants and even cooked a couple of times.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.
