Every year countless of college kids go on Spring Break. While some go to Mexico, Miami or other tropical paradises, some decide to spend their break in their hometowns. While drinking in bikinis on the beach may be nice, here are 10 reasons why next year you should consider spending your spring break at home.

1. Eating real food.

Admit it, your mom's food is incomparable to anything you or anyone else can cook.

2. Saving money.

Who needs to spend hundreds of dollars on plane tickets and hotel rooms, when you can go home and have your parents pay for everything.

3. Taking a real shower.

At last a shower you don't have wear shower shoes in. You can finally take a long hot shower (and maybe even a bubble bath) without being totally grossed out.

4. Hanging out friends from High School...

Or Not (whichever your prefer).

You finally get to tell all your high school friends all your frat parties and hear about theirs. Or you can spend the week in your pj's. Either one is good.

5. Seeing your family.

They love you, you love them. Enough said.

6. Sleeping in your bed.

It's bigger, it's better, and odds are the sheets have just been washed.

7. Living in a clean place for once.

You come home to a clean house and somehow it magically stays clean the whole week. Shoutout to your mom am I right?

8. Getting to be lazy and watch TV all day.

Ok, you can do this anywhere but at home your parents bring you food and your couch is probably way more comfortable.

9. Jamming out in your car with your friends.

It's a right of passage. You butcher dozens of songs by screaming them at the top of your lungs, but who cares, odds are there are at least five other cars doing the same thing

10. Probably the most important... cuddling with your pets.

Ok, let's be honest. The only reasonable explanation as to why anyone would choose to come home instead of spending their Spring Break drinking on the sunny sandy beaches is they most likely have a dog. The minute you walk through your door you immediately embrace your dog, leaving your parents standing awkwardly above the two of you waiting for you to even acknowledge their existence. Dogs. Nothing can beat them.

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.
