It’s no secret that there’s a ton of hype for spring break. From tropical vacations to late nights out, it’s often the peak of party-central all year long.

That said, come spring break, there’s a good chance you’re pretty burnt out from all the work you’ve done so far in the semester. So, if you’re simply heading home for break, don’t think you’re missing out. In fact, a spring break staycation might do you better than hitting up a boozy beach for a week straight, and here’s why:

1. You get to see your family.

After all, they’re the folks you miss all year long.

2. You get to catch up on some much-needed sleep.

You’ll practically recover from midterms – and flu season –overnight.

3. You don’t have to do any planning.

No worrying about coordinating travel plans – and we all know just how stressful that can be.

4. There’s no worrying about where your next meal is coming from.

From home-cooked meals (made not by you) to hitting up your favorite restaurant, you’re set.

5. You can hang out with your pets.

Especially if you're a cat or dog person, you know just how gratifying this can be.

6. You won’t return to school with a ton of laundry.

It’ll be a HUGE relief when you can return to school with clean clothes.

7. You get to save some cash.

All you’ll have to do is pay for your flights home and back.

8. You’ll have time to binge-watch a show on Netflix.

The best kind of Netflix and Chill.

9. Or you can even read a book for fun.

Reading something other than a textbook…can you just imagine?

10. You’ll be one of the lucky students returning to school without a sunburn or a horrible tan line.

Definitely not a cute look.

11. You’ll have less to do, making the break feel extra long and luxurious.

It'll be the kind of vacation where time slows down a bit in the absolute best way possible.

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.
