If you’re anything like me, you’ve seen the numerous films advertising the grandiose spring break lifestyle and said to yourself, “I should totally do that.” This was probably followed up quickly by a look at your bank account and the realization that you can’t live the caviar-and-champagne week-long dream on $30 and some odd change. If so, this list is for you.
1. Binge-watch a TV show
Can’t find a way to get to the beach this break? Craving the sun? How about a Snuggie, ignoring your family and watching all seven seasons of “Mad Men” in your underwear? Far more doable, I’d say.
2. File your taxes
Did you know that you can file your taxes before April 15? Yes, it’s possible to be a golden example of a fine citizen, and you can avoid getting audited. Man, oh boy, is that a one-two punch!
3. Go to the bar if you’re legal
Nothing beats going back home and checking out all those kids who peaked in high school and make the bar their second home. Frank from high school? You haven’t changed a bit!
4. Put off your semester-long assignments like any other week
You’ve been doing it so well for the last seven weeks, why not put it off again? Due at the end of the semester means to do it at the end, right? What was that? Netflix has multiple new series coming out? That’s far more interesting than my micro-economics project!
5. Schedule all those doctors appointments you keep putting off
Did you know that dentists advise you make an appointment every six months? Can’t remember the last time you went to the doctor? Well, no worries, because that’s what spring break is for. Be prepared for three solids days filled with every conceivable medical test that you’ve put off until now.

I’ve worked in a grocery store since April 2020 — right at the start of the pandemic here in the U.S. It’s terrifying, and not just for the fear of getting sick, but also in seeing empty shelves that make it feel like we’re in some kind of apocalypse. |
Making friends can already be difficult during in-person social scenarios, but what about with online classes? It’s possible to make class friends, though challenging. It can depend on the professor, your effort in making friends, and the comfort of those you connect with. |
An ongoing debate is whether or not astrology is an actual science. I may lean toward “no,” but the question isn’t that straightforward. Astrology and science have different definitions, obviously, but also different aims. |
The term is outdated. It no longer applies to what family is today or what family has become over the century since the word was popularized. |

"If you go to therapy for an issue, you have to be able to realize it’s not going to be fixed the next day. It’s going to be a process; just accept the process."
