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!

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.
