It's the last day of school for a while and everyone is on their way to their Spring Break trips, whether it be South Padre, Cancun, or even Florida.

If you are just like me, you're just going home. You're a broke college girl/you have over protective parents, so the final destination is: home. Here's a list of all the things you can do if you're stuck in your hometown for the next week.

1. Sleep

We all love sleep, so now is your time to sleep in! This is a good time to go to bed whenever you want and sleep till whenever you want.

2. Netflix Marathons

Forget binge-drinking, we all love binge-watching. Start a new show or finish an old one. Netflix Marathons are always a good idea

3. Work

College is best known as the home of broke students, so this is a good time to go back home to that job you hopefully still have and get a few hours in to make some money and occupy your time.

4. Spend time with family

Go bowling, have a movie/game night, or do something fun with your family while your home. This will make you forget about not being at the beach or at least convince your parents into taking a fam summer trip to a beach.

5. Take a little road trip

Go to a big city that isn't too far away from you and take a day to do some exploration of your own. Make a day trip and have some fun.

6. Go shopping

A shopping day is always a good day. Go with friends/family or have a little time for yourself so when you go back to school from spring break you may not be tan, but you'll be sporting some cool new clothes.

7. Relax

Spring break is a great time to just relax, forget drama, and disregard school work. Take some time to clear your head and take a bubble bath to get ready for the other half of the semester.

8. Enjoy your city

Take time to go to the local zoo, museum, lake, or anything interesting your town has to offer that you haven't utilized since you left for school.

9. Workout for that "summer bod"

You may have not been working out for your spring break bod, but you could at least get a head-start on your summer bod. Maybe do a spring break cleanse.

10. Have fun!

This is a huge key to your happiness so don't forget to use this time to slow down. Don't be bored unless you want to. You can make memories of your own without having to go somewhere big for spring break.

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.

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.
