11 Ways To Spend Spring Break At Home

So you’re not fratting it up in Laudy, what to do now that you get to spend spring break with the parents? Just because you will not be dartying all day long does not mean spring break can not still be great. There are plenty of things to do over break that will help you in the long run and can still be fun. You may not come back to school with a tan, but you also will not come back with a massive hangover. So you might win a little bit.

1. Exercise

Everyone else was working on their spring break body pre-break and while they gain calories from all the 'ritas they will be consuming, you can be working on your back to school body.


2. Catch up on your DVR

Netflix is awesome while you are away at school, but Netflix has the one downfall of not-every-show-you-watch-is-on-there. So take this time to catch up on all the episodes of "The Real Housewives" that you have missed.


3. Be with your dog (or cat)

This week is the perfect time to spend with your furry best friend.


4. Spend time with your parents

You only have so many years left of living in their home and they miss you, so take the time to hang out with them. You probably missed them too, even though you may not be willing to admit that.


5. See the friends you never do anymore

Spring break is a great time to spend with all of your college friends, but you also see those people all the time. Take advantage of this free time to spend it with friends who are also at home and that you never get to see anymore.


6. Take advantage of your town

Do the things that if you were a visitor you would do. You might think anything that is unique to your hometown is stupid, but take a chance and do it.


7. Sleep

In your own bed, the most glorious place to be.


8. Eat (Good Food)

Nothing is better than your mom's cooking.


9. Read

You can actually read books that are not school-based. You can also read the book without feeling guilty that you are not reading business law.


10. Be productive


You can cross off the items on your list that have been in your planner for months.


11. Cleanse

This is a great time to cleanse your life, spirit, body, attitude.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

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.
