What college student doesn't love Spring Break. Personally I've been counting down the days until break since like the second week of classes. This year though I have nothing big planned, and I am completely okay with that. I plan to spend most of the week in my hometown and hang out with my dog (kidding kind of.) But here are 10 things to do if you're not going on vacay for Spring Break.

1) Hang out with your family

I only live an hour or so from my family so I see them pretty often but if you live faraway from yours spend some quality time with your parents or siblings.

2) Go on an overnight trip

If your friends from home have the same break schedule as you maybe try to get everyone together and go on a quick getaway somewhere not to far

3) Explore your city

Go see what new places have been added to where you live. Visit some local places or tourist attractions in your area.

4) Volunteer

Maybe the week your off you could see if any local food bank or animal shelter needs an extra hand for that week.

5) Work

If you have a job at home for when you're not at school maybe see if they need you to fill any hours the week of break.

6) Catch up on much needed rest

College is stressful and Spring Break is basically an excuse to relax being that you're not at college surrounded by the hundreds of things that need to be done

7) Hang out with your friends from home

I am still close with my group of friends from high school and if you are too hang out and do things with them.

8) Spend quality time with your family dog

I miss my dog so much when I'm at school and if you do as well then spend some much needed quality time with him or her.

9) Catch up on schoolwork

This is something I probably will not be doing. But if you need to catch up on 300 pages of reading or a huge paper that is due after break this is a good time to do it.

10) Deep clean your bedroom at home

Out with the old, in with the new. You may have a lot of time on your hands so use it wisely by cleaning your bedroom at home/

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.
