Spring Break is what college students wait for all year. After the workload we are beaten with, Spring Break is the time to go crazy and worry about nothing. Everyone goes to Florida or Cancun and has the time of their lives. Others, just go home. Luckily, there are some things not so bad about staying home this break. Here are some reasons you shouldn't mope about not being in Mexico this week:

1. You can save money.

You don't need to spend money on plane tickets, hotels, food or anything vacation related. You can go back to living off of your parents. Sucks for your friends who are currently broke!

2. You can see your family.

What up 'rents! You're stuck with me for a full week! Brace yourselves.

3. You can see your high school friends.

Lifelong pals, I've missed you all. Let's do high school things again because I miss the simpler days.

4. You can eat home cooked meals.

No gross dining hall food. No Mexican food that runs through you like lightning. Just your mom's chicken cutlets. I love you chicken cutlets.

5. You can drive again.

You kinda lose your driving skills after all this time. You step behind the wheel of a car and feel like you forgot everything you know. Once you're back at it, you feel like a free bird.

6. Home is where the WiFi is.

Your campus' WiFi probably stinks. It takes 20 minutes for the next episode of Netflix to load. I'm not really sure what the WiFi is like in Florida, but I'm sure your house is better than that hotel.

7. You get to sleep in your own bed.

Back at it again with the full sized bed!

8. You don't have to pack a suitcase.

Hands down the most stressful part of going away. No one likes packing. Too much work. Too much thinking.

9. You get to spend time with your dog.

There's so many fun outside activities to do with your best bud in the Spring. Now you have a full week free to do it.

10. You don't have to do any school work.

Probably the best thing about being on break.

11. Knowing this is all a lie and crying yourself to sleep every night because all your other friends are having the time of their life and you are a bum.

Cause in reality, none of these things are as great as being on vacation. So you suck. Spend your time home planning next year's break.

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.
