When you aren’t partying on a beach like in the movies.

What Spring Break Is Really Like

Spring break has become a notorious time for college students to swarm to warm places like Florida for epic beach parties and chaotic fun. But not every spring breaker is sunbathing and drinking cocktails with colorful umbrellas in them. For a lot of people, this is what spring break is really like:

Pajamas. All. Day. Long.

No need for a bikini or a spray-tan when the only living creatures to lay eyes upon you in your natural habitat will be your family and your pet.

Embracing your bed-head

Rather than taking five hours to create the perfect effortless-looking beach waves, you throw your hair up into a bun (brushing it is optional and not recommended).

Skipping "cake by the ocean" for the real deal

Who needs cake by the ocean? You can enjoy an actual piece of fluffy cake snuggled on your sofa under layers of cozy blankets.

Sleep, sleep, and did I mention sleep?

You won’t be rolling up to the beach in a Jeep with the windows down, you’ll be rolling out of bed at noon, probably with drool on your chin.

Mom's cooking

A nice, balanced diet of alcohol with a side of more alcohol can be swapped out for Mom’s homemade cooking. Nothing is tastier than that!

Hardcore binge watching

The only thing getting “lit” will be your TV as you binge watch Netflix from the time the sun sets to when it rises the next morning.

Living room dance parties

Grinding to loud music in a crowd of intoxicated spring breakers? How about busting out your best corny dance moves like “the sprinkler” or “the shopping cart” with friends in your living room.

Bubble baths

You avoid the possibility of getting attacked by a shark while swimming and settle for a nice bubble bath instead.

Sleepovers with pizza and friends

The closest to a rager you’ll get is having friends over to eat pizza and watch rom-coms.

Spring break forever sounds good to me, just not the kind that most people envision. So here's to lounging around your house and taking some much needed relaxation time before school starts up again.

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.

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.
