7 Things You Shouldn’t Feel Bad About Doing On Spring Break

Spring Break doesn't always have to mean Bahamas, Keys, or Cruise

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.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
