A trip away from USC was in the cards for me this Spring Break, and I was lucky enough to travel to Delray Beach, Florida. My friend Anthony calls it home and invited a group of our friends to come stay with him for the week. If you ever find yourself in Delray Beach, here are some exciting attractions and relaxing spots to visit during your stay.

It’s that time of the semester where you can unwind after all those midterms and projects. If you’re in California for spring break and are tired of the Fryft zone, Santa Monica, Downtown LA, or just LA as a whole, consider making your way to LA’s sister-city, Miss Orange County!

I was born and raised in the OC moving from Westminster to Fullerton – so here are my best recommendations for traveling locally this break.

It’s almost spring break, Trojans! Many of us have taken one or two midterms, outlined key term papers, or are gearing up to take a relaxing week off from our studies. For myself, I stress more than ever before winter break, summer break, or spring break because I try to balance relaxing and being productive before the vacation period even starts.

Instead of making up a fake trip to the Bahamas with your fifty best friends, here’s why/how you should embrace going home for break:

We land in Baltimore one early, early Saturday morning, and what do we see first but a Trump family? This trip did not get off to a favorable start. After flying for 6 hours from chilly, windy California the first day of freedom after two and a half grueling months of school, I don’t think anybody was ready for what was to come our way in the next week.

My last spring break at USC has come and gone. I posted a picture encapsulating my trip with the caption, “good friends is what brings you pleasure in paradise.” I’m so fortunate to have taken a trip to Hawaii with my USC Beach Volleyball teammates. They are my best friends and amidst competition, we still find a way to have fun.

Hello friends, I know Mondays can sometimes be a source of struggle. Especially if you spent time watching Leo win his first Oscar instead of doing your homework, like myself. I wanted to leave you with some inspiration to get through the day, week, month, and maybe even college.
