This Is What You Really Need To Do This Spring Break

Because anything else just isn't good work.

It's finally spring break. This semester is seriously flying, and I need this week more than I need to find a full-time job in two months.

Spring break for some people is the perfect time to drink a whole lot with your friends. The perfect time to lay on a beach somewhere. The perfect time to travel. The perfect time to relax.

But for other people, spring break is the perfect time to get those extra work hours in. The perfect time to play catch up or get ahead in your classes.

All those things are great. They're really good ideas. I'm glad I came up with them for you.

Now, what I'm about to say only applies to the second half of that list.

Don't do any of that.

Okay, now, what I'm going to say applies to the last thing on first half of that list.

DO THIS!

Spring break is meant for us to RELAX. We all need it.

Especially all my fellow seniors out there. This is our last college break. We need to enjoy this. We need this.

I mean, sure, I've had my share of nights out both during the week and on the weekend. However, they always manage to be followed by going to work painfully hungover or having to spend the day doing everything you need to for the week ahead.

I totally get that not everyone can afford a vacation or a week off of work. But you can 100% afford to just relax.

You can afford to spend all your time in bed binge-watching that Netflix show you've been dying to watch all semester. You can afford to hang out with all your other friends who are off this week.

You can afford this break.

In seven days, you have to go back full swing.

So why not enjoy these next seven days? Don't go on Canvas or Blackboard. Don't open a textbook. Don't do any of it.

Trust me, you'll feel a whole lot better if you go back to school next week completely refreshed from the pure relaxation you endured for the last seven days.

Do what makes you happy. Go fishing. Read a book. Watch a movie you've been dying to see. Catch up on the current season of your favorite show.

No matter what it is, you'll be happy you did it.

Because when it's all said and done, you'll realize you did need it. You'll see how much happier you are.

Trust me. I promise.

Just thank me later.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
