Finally, midterms are over with and a extremely needed break from school can begin. Most college students can agree that spring break is essential to our mental health, after weeks of stressful work we are definitely ready to chill out and relax. While spring break is a time in which thousands of college students across the nation pack their bags, get in a car and drive away, that is not to say you can't have a great time from the comfort of your hometown. The short list provided below overs great ways to make a vacation out of your time back home.

1. Check out local restaurants that you've never tried.

This is a great way to expand your horizons. Trying out local restaurants will show you a side of your hometown you'v never seen. Apps like Yelp are a great resource to find the hidden gems of your area and enjoy some good food. Bon Appetite!

2. Take this time to read a book that's not for school.

I know what you're thinking. After weeks of reading and reading you probably don't want to see a book any time soon, but reading is a great way to relax and wind. There are tons of great novels and books out there that will allow you to travel from the comfort of your couch.

3. Take day trips!

Just because you're not going on a week long trip to some far away place does not mean you cant be a tourist in your own special way. Day trips are a great way to see another side of your state. If you use the internet wisely, you are bound to find awesome places not too far from where you live. So get a group of friends, make a bunch of sandwiches, make sure to grab an aux cord and go enjoy!

P.S. I strongly recommend this website.

4. It's bath time!

Baths may seem somewhat childish but in fact they are essential to surviving adult life. Whether you're a bath bomb fanatic or not, baths are bound to help you feel like you're on the vacation you deserve.

5. If all else fails...Netflix!

Spring break is a great time to watch up with your favorite shows and watch new movies. This is the opportunity you've been waiting for to binge everything that's been on your list since the end of winter break. Also, now that you're back home you can invite a bunch of friends over and have a movie night!

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.

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.
