Vacationing At The Beach Vs Vacationing At Home
Our Weekly

It's often a tradition for college students to go on an epic beach trip over spring break. I, however, will be staying home. It's not that I don't want to go to the beach (trust me - I DO), it's just that it's expensive, I don't really have anyone to go with, and quite frankly, I've missed my home! I've missed my bed, I've missed being able to walk around in the ugliest clothes I have without anyone there to judge me, I've missed my friends, and I've really missed my dog. I don't necessarily see it as not having an epic spring break, I'll just be having my fun in a place that's a little more average than one would expect for a vacation. Regardless of where you'll be this vacation season, here are a few things you're sure to experience!


Some Awesome Food

One of the greatest things about vacation is you get to eat food that you don't normally have every single day. You get to take a break from cafeteria food and get something at an exotic new restaurant or a guilty pleasure from the freezer section. Either way, it feels good to treat yourself.

Or...


The PERFECT look

Every vacation has its own set of outfits. Some you spend weeks preparing, some you pull out of your drawer praying that it's a match (and knowing you'll wear it even if it's not).

Or...


Sunbathing

Whether it's in the sand or in the backyard, everyone loves to soak up some rays.

Or...


Getting to Watch Cuties Strut By

When a solid 10 in a swimsuit walks past, it's natural to stare a little. You're entitled to look, but you can't touch. When your adorable dog walks past, on the other hand, you can scoop them right up and snuggle!

Or...


Late Night Adventures

Staying up until the wee hours of the morning is great if you're doing something fun. Maybe it's making memories with your friends, maybe it's getting through another season of the show you're binge watching. Either way, it's definitely worth being tired the next day!

Or...


Finding Treasures

Stumbling across something unexpected is always exciting! Seashells make awesome souvenirs, and getting a couple of extra dollars from around the house can make you feel rich (well, it will if you're in college).

Or...


Beautiful Memories

Besides a break from reality, vacations give you something else very special: memories. No matter where you went, you'll always be able to reminisce about the wonderful times you had on your vacation.

Or...


Be sure to enjoy your vacation time, wherever it may be!

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.

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.
