Spring break is a week dedicated to making memories with friends and visiting family. It is a time given to take a break from college and enjoy the warm weather. Although it should be a week filled of fun, many college students forget about responsibilities and go a little crazy. It's important to remember to take care of yourselves and plan your time wisely. Follow these Do's and Dont's for a successful spring break.

1. DO: Wear sunscreen. You definitely do not want to get a sunburn on your first day at the beach and ruin your spring break by spending the rest of the week hiding from the sun.

2. Don't: Caption all of your pictures "Spraaaang Break." No one wants to see the same thing over and over on their timelines. This isn't "Spring Breakers" and you are not James Franco.

3. Do: Plan ahead. Traveling with friends and family to new and exciting places is an amazing experience. By planning ahead you can be saving money and ensuring an eventful spring break full of fun activities.

4. Don't: Post anything on social media that you would not want your mom to see. Remember that future employers can also check social media accounts before hiring.

5. Do: Leave your expensive items at home. You do not want to lose your diamond earrings in the ocean or leave your Prada sunglasses behind at a bar.

6. Don't: Forget the buddy system. Many places during spring break can easily get crowded and confusing so make sure to remain with your friends and watch out for one another.

7. Do: Make a budget. Drinks and souvenirs can be expensive and you will not want to run out of money halfway through your week. Making a budget and sticking to it ensures that you'll spend your money wisely.

8. Don't: Leave trash behind. Every year multiple beaches are left with liter after the spring breakers leave. Have fun but respect the area and pick up after yourselves.

9. Do: Try something new. Now is the time to try jet-skiing or renting scooters to drive around town. Spring break is a time for adventuring and trying new things with friends.


10. Don't: Forget about your families. For those that do not live at home, chances are that you don't get very many chances to see your family. Although taking a trip for a few days with friends is great, plan a few days to spend time with your parents and siblings.

11. Do: Make sure that your reservations are in order. Arriving a destination and not being able to get your rental car or hotel room will put a damper on your plans and can make for a stressful time.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
