Spring break is just around the corner, which means time for relaxation and a week’s worth break. When we think of the term “spring break”, we usually think of parties and drinks. But that’s not everything, nor should you have to feel pressured to do that if that’s not your thing. I personally like to use spring break as a time for self-care (i.e. journaling).

Here are some helpful ideas to have a relaxing spring break.

  1. Going on a walk - Now that spring is almost here and the weather is getting warmer, it’s a great opportunity to explore nature by taking a walk in the neighborhood, hiking, exploring the beach or a setting of your choice. The important thing is to take a breather and reconnect with nature.
  2. Reading - As a bookworm, I love using this time to catch up on books that are on my bucket list. There’s nothing more exciting than to delve into another world and escape reality.
  3. Watch a TV Show - This would also be the perfect time to catch up on your TV shows that you haven’t had the time to watch.
  4. Digital detox - You might want to use this time to unplug from technology, including social media and allow yourself to just be present with friends and family.
  5. Trying out a new hobby - This is also a great time to get into a new hobby. For myself, I’ve been wanting to practice web and graphic design.

When you allow yourself to rest and truly be present, you find that you’ll be better refreshed in the long run. Self-care should be an everyday occurrence but when we do have long breaks, we should make the most out of them.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
