40 Relaxing Things To Do This Spring Break

So mid-terms are done. You're home, but you still feel stressed and on edge about just about every aspect of your life. It's normal to feel like that. It's hard to truly be able tot relax on spring break after weeks and weeks of stress and knowing you are heading back to stress in just a week. Spring break, however, is a great time to truly unwind and give yourself the break you need.

If you're like me and didn't go on a fun vacation for the week and are just heading home, it's also pretty easy to get a case of FOMO and feel as though you have nothing to do at home. Relaxation is the major key and going home is a great way to relax! But obviously you can't just sleep the entire week and if your family is at work all day, the long days at home can start to get a little boring. I hope that this list helps to realize all the thing that you can do over break to relax and unwind, without getting a case of boredom! Enjoy!!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
