Don't have spring break plans yet? These 5 ideas will help give you inspiration for what to do instead of just going home and chilling on the couch. Now is the time to have an adventure, even if it means staying around campus. Whether it is hitting the beach, going to an amusement park, hiking, or volunteering, everyone can have a worthwhile experience over break this year.

There is not much better than a trip to The Happiest Place On Earth. Bring some friends along and drive to Sleeping Beauty's castle. This will be a great time to meet your favorite Disney characters, go on some fun amusement park rides, eat delicious food, and enjoy your break with your closest pals.

2. Mission Trip

There are always a ton of mission trips to get involved with over break. This is an amazing opportunity to get away from campus and bring some help to people in need. Every area across the globe has places that need volunteers and missionaries. Not only will you be helping others, but you'll get to apart of God's mission and love for this world.

3. National Parks

Road trips are a great way to get the gang together and go somewhere exciting over break. National Parks bring an amazing sense of adventure that will get you into nature. They have beautiful sights and fun hikes that you can enjoy. Go to one or visit a few that are close by to see even more of God's creation.

4. Stay On Campus

There are great things to do right on campus or around town over break. This is an awesome time to relax, catch up on reading or shows you haven't been able to watch due to a busy schedule. Take the time to visit local restaurants or coffee shops you've been meaning to go to. Have movie nights with friends or go to the lake for some time in the sun. This is also a chance to go volunteer at a local shelter to do something helpful with your time if you can't go out of state for a mission trip. No matter what you do, staying on campus can still be a really fun and rejuvenating experience.

5. Go Overseas

If you have the budget, spring break is the perfect time to go on your dream vacation. This could be anywhere around the world that you want to travel to. There are areas that are less expensive that will still give an amazing experience overseas. This can be a time to go with friends or family to see another culture and check a bullet off of your bucket list.

Spring break is one of the best times to take a vacation from school and responsibility to do something exciting and worthwhile. Some may want to relax and hang out around town, others might enjoy traveling, and some may take this time to reach out to those in need. Regardless, I encourage everyone to make the most out of this upcoming week off to recharge and return to school prepared to finish off the year strong.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
