5 Ways To Spend Spring Break Stuck In Your College Town

Sometimes break just creeps up on you

Ugh, it's finally Spring Break. Bless up.

Some of you have travelled to sunny places (lucky you).

Some of you have gone home (say hi to the fam).

And some of you let Spring Break creep up on you and you got no plans.

Same.

And that's okay. Here's some things to do if you're stuck in your college town.

1. Sleep

With no classes and a lot of people away, it's the perfect time to sleep. Yes. ALL the sleep. Catch up on it because it's going to be hard to find between post spring break and finals.

2. Work out

I know that doesn't sound like fun at all. But as someone who feels like they haven't utilized the wellness facilities on campus, I know I'm going to at least try to go to the rec center over break.

3. Binge that show you've been holding off on

You might not have been able to watch your favorite new binge because of classes and work and all that fun college stuff. Now is the time to binge it. Or, at least binge it without being stressed about using it as a procrastination method.

4. Explore your college town

Plenty of us are confined solely to campus during the academic year. There's so much more to your college town though. I mean, have you been to Main Street? Go bowling, get 4 Queens or Scratch, get off campus for a day and just explore.

5. Plan ahead


If college hasn't given you any time to think ahead, this is a good time. Granted, it might be a little stressful during a time where you're supposed to be on break. But take time to figure out what you could see yourself doing for the summer or (if you're graduating) a career starter and start looking into those jobs and internships and apply.

*For real though: anytime anyone tries to do anything in preparation past lunch the next day...*

Whatever you do, just do it! Enjoy break!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
