Who says you can't live it up from the comfort of your home?

Spring is coming upon us, which also means that spring break is somewhere around the corner. Maybe you're not hitting up the sunny beach this year, maybe you're staying at home. That doesn't mean you can't have the best spring break yet.

So without further ado, here are some ways you can spice up your staycation!

1. Spring Cleaning

It's in the name. Having a clean work-space does wonders for your productivity. In addition, with a little creativity, remodeling or revamping your room doesn't have to take too much time or money.

Pro Tip: Fairy lights are a must. They'll add a warm glow to just about any corner of the house.

2. Explore the great outdoors.

Just because it's a staycation, doesn't mean you have to stay inside. Go on a hike, and take your friends with you! Embrace spontaneity and adventure. Check out this picturesque four mile hike at the Indian Seats


3. Movie Marathon

Now that you have plenty of free time, why not treat yourself to a movie marathon? Last year, I decided to do just this with my friends during break, and I had my first "Star Wars" experience. Needless to say, I've been hopelessly hooked on "Star Wars" since.

4. Go shopping!


Spring cleaning means going through your closet and preparing for the new season. Preparing for the new season means buying new clothes. So, logically, spring cleaning only means one thing... spring shopping! Worried abut spending? Check out a thrift store. There will be no shortage of fashionable, unique and affordable picks there.

5. Have a photoshoot.

Why wait for a special occasion to strike a pose? Grab your friends, make a cute backdrop and smile big. There's no better way to commemorate a meaningful staycation.

6. Amp up your fitness game.

Try out that new juice cleanse everyone's been raving about. Sign up for some Flywheel classes (that you might regret the next morning when your legs die of soreness). The options are endless.

7. Attend a concert.

There's nothing like hearing your favorite artist live for the first time. But, if you're anything like me, you probably have several favorite artists, and you just can't see them all. Be extra adventurous, and attend a free concert of an artist you've never heard of before!

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.
