Spring Break: Home Edition

March has arrived, and we all know what that means. Yes, March Madness is starting (GO UCONN), but it’s officially spring break season. It’s the middle of second semester, midterms are over, and the hot white sands of tropical beaches are calling our names. Scratch that! The one and only is calling my name, and this is my bed. I couldn't be any more excited than I am now.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to stay home and do absolutely nothing. Although I’ll be busy, I’ll be able to relax when I want and have a refrigerator full of food at the cost of no points or swipes. I’m not worried about having FOMO because I still have spring breaks ahead of me, and there is nothing wrong with taking a week off and just focusing on myself. I’m considering treating myself this whole week, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Whether it's in Mexico or in your hometown, you should treat yourself as well, because chances are you deserve too!

When your parents are at work and your siblings are at school, you can wake up at eleven o’clock in the morning to peace and quiet and start your day how you want. You don’t have to rush anywhere unless you’re mom schedules a lifetime of appointments in one week. No Mom, I am not going to the dentist, orthodontist, etc. Instead of sitting around and doing nothing, although it’s relaxing, maybe you want to take this time to get yourself organized for the home stretch of the semester. Summer is right around the corner! Are you ready?

Things I would like to accomplish: Go to the gym with my bff for much needed motivation, catch up on my sleep, hop on a health kick and make healthy food, catch up with my family, go on hikes with my dog, and not spend a absurd amount of money.

Things I’ll actually accomplish: Go to the gym with my bestie and probably leave a half hour in to get a chocolate peanut butter smoothie that equals my body weight and still believe it’s “healthy”, stay up all night watching reruns of Parks and Recreation or Grey's Anatomy, eat a salad with a side of absurd amounts of home made mac n cheese, roll around on the floor with my dog, and spend generous amounts of money on sushi, ice cream, and clothes.

I will actually spend a large amount of time catching up with my family. My grandparents tend to like good food, and my gramma is literally the best person to shop with, so how can I go wrong? We all might be biased about our grandparents being the cutest people ever, but seriously, just look at them. My sisters are also my best friends so they will join me in eating twenty pounds of sushi as we watch Jaclyn Hill.

I’m currently sitting in my back porch with my feet up, and the sun is beaming on my face. I don’t need my toes in the sand to be happy this break. I have my family, my best friends, and good food. I simply can’t complain.

Coffee! Coffee! Coffee!

Lorelai Gilmore and I are kindred spirits.

Coffee! Coffee! Coffee!

When I was in high school, I was the occasional coffee drinker, if you could call it that. I would drink Starbucks frappuccinos and iced mocha drinks, which were more like snacks than coffee, BUT they had coffee in them, so I said I drank coffee. I progressed from my love of “snack drinks" to a more general appreciation of coffee, and would have a cup of coffee once a week or so. My “cup of coffee" would consist of a little coffee and a lot of cream and sugar, but it was coffee nonetheless. Then I started college.

14 of the Most Revolutionary Short Films of All Time
JoinOneLove

Today's society places a ridiculous amount of importance on social media and what we see on our computer screens. Some of these short films you might have seen shared on Facebook. Some of them you may have never even heard of. Whatever the case may be, these productions have used thier position of power in our world today to spread a message. The messages vary from domestic violence, LGBTQ acceptance, self-love, the role of men in society to end the unfair treatment towards women and even the promotion of the furtherence of medical discovery in our country. Regardless of the message, each film advertises something that needs far more screen time than Victoria's Secret Fashion shows or Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Here are 14 of the best and most revolutionary short films to date:

Well, this school year has come to a close, and it's off to having fun in the sun. For college students, summer offers a few different options: get an internship somewhere AMAZING like NYC, India or somewhere else awesome, travel, stay in your college town or go home for the summer. Whatever the reasoning, many people do end up going home and living with their parents during the summer. Many things are different when you go home for the summer. After almost a whole year being an adult, it's time to return to your parent's home and follow rules that you threw to the wind the second you stepped on campus last fall. And you get to see all your old friends, the ones who came home anyway. You'll also see people you haven't talked to since you graduated that you were really okay with never seeing again. If you are going home for the summer, here are some things that will happen to you.
