How To Make Use Of Your Spring Break
ipfh

If you are like me and have a different Spring Break than everyone around you and therefore haven't got anything exotic or great planned, don't fret - you can still enjoy and make use of your Spring Break in the comfort of your own home.

Take a mental break

It's a given that college brings about an ethereal feeling of stress and responsibility; that is why Spring Break is the perfect buffer period to recollect and recover before tackling the final homestretch of the semester!


Visit some new places in your state

Going somewhere you've never been before shouldn't have to require going out-of-state or out-of-country; try and search for a place, whether it be the mountains, the beach, a restaurant, and so forth, that you have never had the time or opportunity to visit. If you've already exhausted that itinerary beforehand, then visit a place in your home state that you've only been to once or twice.


Go to local places that make it good to be home


Before you know it you'll be back at college and may find yourself missing home. Do things that used to be part of your routine before departing for college like going to local restaurants and doing things you can't do back at college.


Knock out assignments that are due after break

Before you know it you'll be swimming in assignments and tests, so save yourself the stress and get a head start so you don't feel stressed on the last day of break, and so you can finish the second half of the semester strong!


Plan out your Summer


If you are anything like me, then you like to plan ahead. Make plans so that by the time summer comes around, you won't be sitting idly at home wasting the days away when you could have been doing something fun, productive, new, and adventurous.

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.
