A Broke College Student's Guide To Spring Break

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.

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.
