It’s Spring Break 2017 and you don’t have big plans. While everyone is going to the Bahamas on a cruise or renting a condo on some exotic beach, you’ll be going home, hanging out with family and friends, eating your weight in home cooking, and doing nothing. Even though you may have some FOMO from all the adventures you might be missing, there’s nothing wrong with kicking back, relaxing, and have no plans at all. After going through hell this semester, taking a break and laying on the couch sounds like the best option. Nonetheless, here are 7 things you shouldn't have to feel guilty about doing on Spring Break

1. Being with Family and Friends

After being away from your family and hometown friends, it’s okay to just hang out and catch up with them. Don’t feel like you missed out on a ‘wild spring break’ because you took your grandmother out to lunch.

2. Eating

Forget the Spring Break body. Eat your heart out and fill up on some homemade food. Never feel guilty and remember that your stomach is bigger than your eyes.

3. Sleeping

Your body needs a recovery week after spending midterms staying up all night in the library writing papers, finishing projects, and cramming a half a semester worth of information into your brain in a matter of one night. It wouldn’t kill you to get on a normal sleep schedule for once.

4. Doing Nothing

Being an involved college student, as cliché as it sounds, can be draining. It’s possible that your Spring Break plans are indeed doing nothing.

5. Drinking

Enjoying a cocktail or two is always a great idea for a Spring Break plan. Whether it’s by the pool, with your breakfast, or wine and a movie, Spring Break isn’t complete without a little concoction.

6. Binging Netflix

It’s been a while since you’ve been completely able to binge watch your favorite shows without a care in the world. Time to catch up and see how many episodes you can fit into a 24 hour period.

7. Getting Ahead

Although you should definitely give yourself a little break, we all know that post-Spring Break will be equally as stressful as the one you left behind. Your problems aren’t going to disappear and it’s okay to prepare for what is to come.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
