I'm certainly used to thinking, using my mind actively, asking how I can be a better citizen and make a change in the world… but let us be honest - over Spring Break, if you're staying at home, you're most likely binge-watching reruns of The Office or Gilmore Girls. Don't let your mind turn to mush this spring break…learn something!!!!

10. Vocabulary.com
As an English major with a concentration in creative writing, increasing your vocabulary is a must!! I read this somewhere, I honestly do not remember where, probably somebody else's blog or a book or website but somebody said that the more words you have the more thoughts you can think, and the more detailed and intelligent those thoughts will be because people use their words to have thoughts. So basically, the smarter your thoughts are the smarter you will become - which all starts with building your vocabulary. Genius, right!? Arghh, I wish I remember who said that…. I'll keep trying to remember…. *sigh* :p
