10 Things To Do On Spring Break Instead Of Hot Spots

Spring break is more than flying to an exotic destination. It's a time to relax, refresh and cross a few things off of your local to-do list.

1. Explore your hometown.

When you go home, go look at what is new in your home town. For example, maybe they built a new restaurant, or maybe that old park has been redone, you never know.

2. Catch up with old friends.

We lost contact a while ago, well let us go get coffee and become close again. Even if we ended on bad terms, we have probably changed.

3. Go visit a friend from school who doesn't live by you.

They might live in rural Illinois, while you are up by Chicago. Well maybe we need a sleepover.

4. Watch a Netflix show, or three.

I don't need an explanation for this. Netflix is fun.

5. Start a hobby.

I kinda want to create one of those boats in a jar.

6. Read a book.

I know, I know, we read a lot as college students, but reading for fun is cool also.

7. Start free writing.

As an English Major, I never have time to go write, but now I have a whole week of freedom.

8. Have fun with your parents.

They missed us, and we are gone for most of the year. Maybe take your parents to dinner or just watch a movie with them for a night. This would probably make them happy.

9. Exercise.

Not that I particularly fond of exercising, but maybe since I have some free time I can go for a run or do a sit up. No more than one sit up though, it is spring break.

10. Take a break from drinking.

In college, we drink quite a bit. I am guilty of this also. So maybe this break I'll relax and have fun without alcohol. (it is possible).

BONUS THING!

Go out and vote!

The election is coming up, so go and make a difference and make sure your voice is heard on this next election!

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
