Destination Spring Break vs. Spring Break at Home

We're all sharing the same week but having very different experiences

Destination Spring Break vs. Spring Break at Home

About three-fourths of everyone I know had the privilege of going somewhere warm and sunny for spring break. The other fourth (myself included) had the month of March sneak up on us, thus, we never made a plan, asked our parents for help or saved the money.

Thankfully for those of us at home, we have a handful of friends in town to share the FOMO with. In-between the hours of gorging ourselves with food and sleeping until the middle of the afternoon, we'll probably go on the Internet and look at all the pictures of fun we aren't having in our Midwest home.

So while our peers are soaking up the Mexico/Florida/tropic sun and making decisions they'll only remember through Snapchat stories and back-to-school gossip, the rest of us are hanging out with our moms and cleaning out our refrigerators.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
