Spring Break Options

Although many students get excited for Thanksgiving break and Christmas break, Spring break is where the anticipation lies. Students, nationwide race through their midterms, eagerly awaiting their spring break plans. While it is a notorious time to make memories with college friends that will last a life time, it is also ok to do other things over spring break. Regardless of what you're doing, it's spring break. The official beginning of Spring. Warm weather. Summer is just through the tunnel.

Beach

Many people vacation to the beach over spring break. Whether it be to Panama City, Destin, Florida or Gulf Shores, Alabama, there are many beaches that are popular spring break spots. You can see students letting loose, enjoying themselves, and making college memories that they will never forget. Finally, you're away from the cold air and in the warm sunlight, feeling the crisp ocean breeze as it blows through your hair. Ahhhh.

Mountains

Whether you're in the mountains of North Carolina camping out or in Vail or Aspen, Colorado skiing, you are bound to be having a totally awesome spring break. One of the first times to catch good camping weather and one of the last times of the season to catch good skiing weather, the mountains are the best of both worlds.

Home

Many people just venture from school lives to home lives and let me tell you, this is one of the best spring breaks. Stepping away from the busy life of classes and academics, you are finally able to kick back and relax. Life is easy and you can forget about the important things for a little while and finally have a chance to think, and sleep.

Visit a friend at college

While you may be on spring break, some of your friends may not. Venture to another school for the weekend, visit an old friend and have the time of your life.

Another country

If you're into getting cultural, there's always the option of visiting another country with a family or a friend. Whether it be the Bahamas or England, go for it.

Overall, spring break is here my friends. It's here, and it'll be done in a flash, so enjoy it.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
