7 Ways You Can Enjoy Spring Break At Home
Buzzfeed

Not everyone is going to be able to go out and party and take a nice vacation for spring break. Most of us college students spend break at home. This may be a good thing or bad thing. Whether it is or not, here are the best ways to spend spring break at home.

1. Take a day trip

You may live near a major city, like for me Boston or New York City, so a trip to a tourist city may be just what the doctor ordered. If you go to school in one of these cities, go to the countryside and just take a relaxing ride.

2. Visit a friend at his/her college

Like me, your break may be at a different time than most of your friends, so it's pretty much time to stay at home. Instead, if they go to college nearby, try and spend a few days with one of them. This will give you a different college experience and maybe visit a new place as well.

3. Take a beach trip

It may still be a little cold, but there has to be a beach nearby to at least go and walk on, and maybe even some shops by the beach that are just opening up for the season. It will make you feel like it is closer to summer, and maybe even give you that drive to finish off the semester.

4. SHOPPING DAY

Take a day to shop and prepare for the warmer weather coming up. Buy some sundresses and shorts and tank tops. Make sure that when you go back for warmer weather, you have the clothing for it. Also, shopping is relaxing for some people. You deserve to spend some money after making it through the first half of the semester.

5. Catch up with family friends

Some college students haven't seen some family friends since the summer. Now is a good time to take a break and make the time to see family friends you have not seen in a while. They want to know how you are doing too!

6. Spend time with family

I know that this may be the last thing you want to do, but I know that it is my first. I never go home, so coming home to see my family is a blessing. Your family members really do miss you, and want to be able to spend as much time as possible with you. Make sure that you do not forget to spend time with them too.

7. Relax

This is finally your time to relax without being at school since winter break. This is the time to finally compose yourself and make sure that you are ready to go back to school when you have to. Take time for you and just relax.

Having Spring Break at home is not the end of the world. Just make the most out of it!

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.
