Not going anywhere for spring break? Not a problem! If you (like me) are at a loss for what to do during your spring break at home, here are some ideas!

1. Try a new recipe

If you live in a dorm, now is the time to take advantage of a REAL kitchen to make your own food! Take this opportunity to try out some of those food videos you’ve been watching!

2. Go on a day trip

Take a mini-road trip with family or a friend to a nearby city! It will get you out of the house, and will make you feel like you’re sort of on vacation for a day.

3. Work

Everyone needs a little extra cash, so now is the perfect opportunity to make some money for when you head back up to campus. After all, as a college student, every bit helps.

4. Go on a hike

If the weather is nice enough, check out a local park and see what trails they offer. Hiking is great exercise and it lets you decompress from the small stresses of every-day life

5. Explore your town

Is there a restaurant you always drive past but never go in? A shop you have always thought was cute but never checked it out? A new one that popped up? This is a great time to go and see all of these things.

6. Movie Marathon

If you have an ever-growing list of movies you want to watch, take a day to knock some of them off!

7. Shopping day!

If you’ve got the cash for it, why not treat yourself? Go to the mall or your favorite shopping destination and have a ball!

8. Relax

Draw a hot bath, put on some chill music, light some candles, and relax. If you want, you could even use a face mask to keep your skin looking healthy.

9. Hang out with your family

If you go to school out of state, they hardly get to see you! Make sure to spend some quality time with mom and dad before you have to head back to school.

10. Clean

Do some spring cleaning, even if it means just cleaning out your closet and getting rid of clothes you don’t wear!

11. Exercise

If you have gotten out of the habit of working out on a regular basis, now is the perfect time to start back up again! If you don’t have a gym membership, just look up some youtube videos for a good workout!

There are tons of ways to enjoy your spring break that do not include a pricey trip to somewhere tropical, it’s just a matter of finding the right activities!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
