Spring break is the time that all college students look forward to.College students love spring break because it feels as though they haven't had a "relax" period in a long time. However, the extra time to work and make money and go on vacations doesn't hurt either. Here's a checklist of all the fun things we college students can do on spring break.

1. Roadtrip.

The destination doesn't matter. It could be a 3 hour drive or 13. Grab your friends, put them in a car, and make the most out of this break.

2. Work.

I know it's not glamorous, but that paycheck will be nice when you can work double hours.

3. Catch-up on that Netflix.

Most college students don't have time to watch netflix during the week and when the weekend comes we are loaded with homework. SO binge watch that One tree Hill or Scandal.

4. Sleep.

During the normal week of college what is sleep? Sleep is slim to none so when you get the chance to sleep in or just sleep more than 4 hours, take it!

5. Do what you love to do!

I don't know what you miss out during the countless hours of homework, but whatever your favorite thing to do is, find time to do it!

6. Go somewhere you've never been.

Some of these trips can be spendy; however, sometimes you can get lucky and find a steal at Disney world, on a cruise, or a cross country trip.

7. Relax.

Just relax. Take a bubble bath. Lay in bed and read. Watch movies. Hang out with friends.

8. Don't have a tight schedule.

This is your break, don't have this need to fit in one hundred things. Go with the flow, and have a good time.

9. Hang out with friends and family.

I know I don't get a lot of time during my busy schedule to hang out with my friends and family. Use this time to do something fun with the most important people in your life.

10. Lastly, take a break.

It's called a break for a reason. I know some professors still gave homework and you may still have to work. However, they call it spring break for a reason. Use some of that "down" time to have a mental, physical, and an emotional break from all the chaos.


Have a safe and fun Spring Break!

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
