There is a lot of pressure to figure out what to do on Spring Break for college kids. There are many options on what to do over the free week. Sometimes it can be difficult to make plans, especially when there are limitations. However, there are still many options that could be useful for anyone.

Going back home is always an option. While it may not be very glamorous, there would be plenty of time to catch up on homework and get organized. This also presents an opportunity to plan for the upcoming summer. Looking for a job, applying for internships, and figuring out living situations can take some time.

Going home gives you an opportunity to take the time to go to the coffee shop and work diligently.

Working isn't always a bad thing. Picking up extra hours could be beneficial. You can take off time if your schedule becomes too crowded at some point, because you already put in the time to work. Making some extra money also never hurt.

If you want to travel, you don't have to buy an airplane ticket in order to find an adventure. Exploring your home state can always be surprising. The internet is a great source so look to see if there are things to do that you never knew about. Traveling the nearest city is not a big deal. There are plenty of things to do in the city.

If traveling is an option, take the time to plan. One of the most popular destinations is Florida, which has Disney World, beaches, Universal Studios, and lots of shopping. Mexico is another popular idea, especially the vacations spots that welcome college students.

If you want to go on a destination trip, make sure everything is in order and make plans months in advance. These are very popular ideas among college students. Therefore, booking hotels and flights early are a good idea especially because they will be cheaper than if they were booked closer to the Spring Break date.

Going with someone to these places will also make the experience a lot more memorable. Ask friends if they want to join or even your family members.

Volunteering is a great way to spend time over Spring Break. There are many options that colleges offer through different organizations and clubs. Working with the school will allow your references to grow and it also gives you an insight to other projects that your school is involved with.

This idea would also help you get more involved with your school in areas that you may not have known about before. There is also volunteering opportunities abroad. There are many options online and you can look for volunteer projects that would best fit with you. These can be costly but many also do fundraisers to help with the costs.

Volunteer trips will build a resume and give you exposure to helping out in diverse communities. Again, if you're not planning on traveling far, there are always opportunities available in town like at hospitals, community churches, and humane societies.

Spring Break offers a great amount of time to get things done, get involved, or to travel. There are many options that all differ in both cost and itineraries. Take the time to pick something that will be beneficial for you at the time.

What ever you do, make sure there is the time to relax, whether it is on the beach in Florida or on your living room couch.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
