What Your Spring Break Destination Says About You

Answer: a lot more than you’d think.

What Your Spring Break Destination Says About You

Whether you spent weeks eating salads and working out or just decided to roll with the one-piece trend, you’ve been thinking about this week off all semester. Whether you decide to fiesta in Cabo or siesta in your bed at home, your choice of destination says a lot more about you than you’d think.

1. Home

The FOMO that you experienced all week was torturous unless you live in Hawaii. Passive aggressively commenting “crop me in” on all of your friend’s pics made you feel a little better, but not quite as good as the twelve hours of sleep that you got every night (plus the two-hour naps that you took because being awake for more than six hours at a time is hard).


2. Another School

This time of year, it is inevitable that one of your friends’ schools will be having their “Super-Big-Party-Alcoholfest-Weekend.” It's especially fun because you get to post pictures of you and your best friend with the caption “reunited” like the high school hero who you are. You know that there’s nothing better than old friends who will undoubtedly get some photos of you at your (not so) finest moments and tell embarrassing stories about that one time at prom.



3. Skiing

You had snow much fun, didn’t you? Skiing is a totally classy move and it will probably lead to a lot less untagging on Facebook than a beach trip because you won’t be in a swimsuit 24/7. You definitely know what’s up because you basically got to hang out in waterproof sweatpants all week. Even though you came back a little jealous of your super bronze friends who went to Cancun, a tan something that money can buy.


4. The Beach (US)

So, you packed up the car and made your way down to a condo in the Gulf Shores for the sea, sand, and sun, right? Wrong. This trip is going to be about one thing and one thing only for you: Instagram. You can “throw what you know” in your sleep and probably took some real keepers on the beach while holding your sorority’s flag. You absolutely killed the IG game before your SPF 3 Bronze Goddess Extra Dark Tropical Babe tanning oil let you down when you fell asleep on the beach and turned into a human lobster. Oh well, that’s what filters are for.


5. The Beach (Mexico)

Since PCB is no longer a thing and there seem to be no actual rules in Mexico, it’s clear that you came for a good time. Your Snapchat story was at least five minutes long at any given time (it's a good thing that you deleted your grandma/mom/middle school aged sibling first). You now truly know what it means to rally, especially if you drank the tap water. I hope that you didn’t accidentally open your mouth in the shower.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
