7 Things To Do If You're Not Going Away For Spring Break

This year, like all of my other previous years of college, I will not have the luxury of going on some awesome spring break trip to a beach far, far away. Soon social media feeds will be filled with pictures of people sitting on beaches and soaking up the sun. Just because you might not be spending time on the beach doesn't mean you can't have a fun and relaxing week. Here are some things you can do if you're not going away for spring break:

1. Go on a mini-road trip.

A full-fledged road trip might be a lot to handle in a week, but
look into hitting different locations close to you that you've never been to,


or even make the journey to your neighboring state!

2. Catch up on your reading.

Reading is probably the last thing on your mind, but reading for enjoyment is much better than reading for class. Make a trip to your local Barnes and Noble and pick up that book you've been wanting to read.


3. Spend time with your family.

If you're home on spring break, you should really make time for your family. Plan a game night or just sit around together and watch a movie.

4. Get together with old friends.

If you're lucky enough to have the same spring break as your friends, this is the time for you to catch up. Use this week to do anything and everything together.

5. Try something new.

Start a DIY project, go to a new restaurant, start to learn an instrument, anything

that you pinned on Pinterest that you haven't gotten to yet.

6. Binge watch a show on Netflix.

A whole week to binge watch a television series guilt-free? Yes please.

7. Sleep.

Honestly, you're a college student and don't have classes for a week. You can *finally* take that nap you've been waiting for.

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.
