How To Crush Your Spring Break Even If You Are Staying Home

It's less than a week till Spring Break and I can tell you, I have never been more excited.

We need this break.

We deserve this break.

People have been talking and there are people headed to Florida, Aruba, the Bahamas, and every other warm spot in the world. I, however, am headed back home to Central Indiana. Exciting, I know. As lame as it sounds, I am pumped to go home. Indy is no Florida, but the break from school is what truly counts. Here's how I am planning on having a great spring break no matter where I am.

Relax time.

This is it, guys. The moment we've all been waiting for. I don't know about you, but this semester has been hectic and much harder than the last. I am most excited to lay in my bed and watch Netflix day in and day out and just relax. This is by far the best thing to look forward to during break.

Home cooked meals.

The most important thing in the world to college students. My mom is a former chef, so everything she cooks is to die for. When I'm at college nothing is even NEAR as good as her food. She makes everything homemade and nothing compares to her food at school. I can't wait for that white chicken chili and lots of food cooked on the grill.

Spring weather.

Let's be real, the weather is not going to be hot. Although, spring weather is really nice. Generally sunny and sometimes breezy. That is the kind of weather I live for. People spend so much time trying to get tan over break when really they should be enjoying the weather, riding their bikes, and taking their dogs for walks. Spring break can be just as great with warm-ish weather.

Seeing friends from home.

While lots of friends will be gone, if you stay home, you'll likely get to see each one of them at some point whether they come home for the whole break or for a day or two. This is always something I look forward to because, during the school year, I don't get to see many of my friends from home.

Making extra cash.

We're all broke college students and whether you like working or not, money is always the motive. Making extra spending money, or saving money if you're smart, is always the best thing to do over break. We can all use some extra cash.

Whether you're headed to the Caribbean or back home to Indy, you're bound to enjoy spring break. It's how you take it that matters. Enjoy the break and relax. School isn't out, but only nine more weeks till summer. Live it up!

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.
