14 Things To Do At Home Over Spring Break
Tumblr

Are all the spring break vacay Instagram posts getting you down? Don’t worry, I know how you feel. Here are some things to try to spice up your break at home, instead of just sleeping all day (which is definitely still a valid option).

1. Try out some new recipes

Take advantage of the fact that you don’t have to eat dining hall food for a whole week!

2. Start a new series

And probably finish it with the amount of time you’ll spend in bed binge watching

3. Go on an adventure

Grab some friends (or even just yourself) and your car keys and go explore somewhere new!

4. Shop till you drop

Taking yourself on a shopping spree is a great close second to a tropical island vacation. Go treat yourself!

5. Do something creative

Maybe re-decorate your room or try your hand at knitting (maybe you have a secret talent for it that you never even knew).

6. Make some new playlists

Discovering new music and making playlists is personally one of my favorite pastimes, try it!

7. Have a Disney movie marathon

Because who doesn't love rewatching old Disney movies and feeling like a kid again.

8. Read a motivating book

Self-help books are some of my favorite types of books to read and always leave me feeling so empowered. I swear once you give it a try you will not regret it!

9. Hit the gym

While lying in bed all day is always an option, so is working on getting that six-pack ready for summer!

10. Learn a new skill

Whether it's sign language or rollerblading, learn something new to do from a friend or even take a class!

11. Go on a picnic

Picnicking is something that is so underrated. Grab some friends and head to a local park and picnic (weather permitting of course).

12. Have a spa day

Make "treat yourself" your motto for spring break

13. Go to the zoo

Hey, it's something different and fun! Who doesn't love animals and taking some Instagram-ready pics?!

14. Take a breather

Just because it seems like everyone else is having an action-packed spring break doesn't mean you have to try to compete with them! Just take a break and enjoy the fact that you don't have to deal with schoolwork for a week!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
