Springing For A Break

Don't Forget To Fly AWAY by londonchristian on Polyvore.com

Happy Spring, ladies and gents. This weekend brought something we all were dreaming for:a break. Goodbye winter storms and hello sunflowers. So, enjoy the weather!
Sadly, spring brings spring cleaning. Even though we are in college we can't forget this huge task before us. This brings me to my first rule for the day!

Rule 17: It Is Time To Give Up The Barbies

You are in college now, so get rid of those old toys. Keep a few items from your childhood but dump the rest. My favorite part of spring cleaning is giving all my stuff to charity. If you haven't worn it for over 6 months, then give it away. We are pack rats. Even though that sounds like a group from Grease, you can't pull it off like John Travolta . In the end, Barbie will have a better home and someone might actually wear that Nsync tshirt you got at age 13. But if you have to keep the odd- colored, stuffed animal from grade school, then pack it up in a little container and give it to Mom to hold for you. For some reason, Mom's like those little things. She will know exactly where to store it. *Cough cough* In her room!

Rule 18: Spring For Free
Spring brings warm weather. Warm weather brings outside activities and free fun. So this Saturday night, take your date to the park for some fun and games. Pack a lunch, a frisbee,and a soft blanket. She will find it romantic and a nice time to be alone with you. That, my friend, is called a job well done. So, while she isn't looking, pat yourself on the back and then thank me. And I will thank my friend for suggesting this fun activity to me the other day. So, let us help you!

My last rule is for those who are on spring break
Rule 19:Finish first, party last.
Spring break isn't really a break. Its just an excuse for professors to pile on more homework for you to do during the 'break'. So, as you weep loudly over the load of assignments due, think about this. Days don't make the work just disappear. So finish the work on the first few days of break and then you have the rest of the week to relax. I maybe the queen of procrastination,but I have learned to follow this rule. If you feel like partying first and doing homework last, good luck. Because after awhile, those weeping noises become louder the longer you wait.

So good luck with life, spring cleaning, and please stop crying. Summer is almost here and you know Mom will be happy to remove "Mr. Snuggles" from her bed to yours. Like I said, Mom's like to hold onto your old items. They say it's for their future grandchildren, but you know it's a lie. Poor Dad has shared a bed with a stuffed animal for a full semester.
But remember, it all works out in the end!
Good luck and God bless,
TheJunior
