A Broke College Student's Guide To Spring Break
GlassDuffle

Have no money to go anywhere over spring break? That's O.K. I feel that. So I am creating a list of things for people to do if you're like me. You have no money and really no friends since all of them are going to different places for spring break. You need something to do to keep yourself entertained. I have a list that will make not being in Florida a little more bearable.

1. A picnic on campus

Pack some sandwiches, some fruit, grab a bag of chips and some muffins and find a beautiful spot on your campus. I bet there are some unknown places you can go for some peace and quiet and good vibes.

2. Go to the lake

If you're near a lake or ocean, go enjoy the beach. It might not be Florida warm weather but at least you get out into nature and just sit in peace at the sound of the lake or ocean waves.

3. Go hiking at a state park

Even if you don't have a state park near you, it could be a fun mini vacation to drive to a state park. It gets you active and outside. It only costs you a couple dollars but a ton of fun.

4. Go on a hometown tour

If you go away for school you might have forgotten parts of your hometown. Spring break is the perfect time to re-explore your hometown and hit the tourist attractions. It could be fun to see what you haven't seen in a long time.

5. Bake with your friends

Hopefully, some of your hometown high school friends are staying home too so you have someone to bake with! Baking is always the move.

6. Make a homemade pizza

I know so many of my friends have done this and it's a fun, cheap thing to keep you occupied. It also involves food so automatic WIN.

7. Camp out in your backyard

Weather permitting, you can go out into your backyard set up a tent and sleep under the stars. So many adventures could arise.

8, Actually do your pinned Pinterest

Admit it. You have a hundred Pinterest boards with a thousand DIY crafts. Well, now you have an entire week off, so do it now! You have probably pinned enough DIY crafts to last you the whole week.

9. Get a manicure and pedicure with your friends

It's okay to treat yourself.

10. Binge watch an entire series on Netflix

Suggestions include: One Tree Hill, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Stranger Things, Grey's Anatomy, Gilmore Girls and Shameless.

11. Snapchat your friends who are on vacation

If all your friends are in Mexico or Florida and you're stuck at home, blow up their Snapchats with pictures of your dog.

12. Color in your adult coloring book

You probably have had no time to actually use all your adult coloring books but now you have a lot of time.

13. Lay in bed and cuddle your dog all day

Honestly, this is the move.

So don't frown if you are not going anywhere for spring break, your girl has you covered.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
