With February quickly coming to a close, we can’t help but realize that Spring Break is right around the corner. There is no need to fret with trying to whip together some last minute plans that will inevitably fall through and leave you spending every night babysitting the kids next door. Text your friends and let them know that there is still hope for an affordable, reasonable spring break that you don’t have to travel too far to get. While these spring break trips don’t involve you draining your entire life savings, they will still leave you with memories that you will never forget.

These are just a few options for spring break that you could make with your friends.

Spring break is your chance to let your mind have a rest from your hectic life at school. But even if you just stay home with your family and hometown friends, it is nice to have the time to sit back, relax and enjoy the recharging break. Whoever says spending time with your parents and your dog would be a drag? Now push through these next few weeks and get ready for your seven day getaway!

 

 

Meet Bianca, I am currently a Junior at Utica College in Utica, NY.  I am a Criminal Justice major with a concentration in Homeland Security.  Crime investigation has always been something that interests me.  I’m dedicated and passionate and it’s hard for me to quit things. I get that from my father so don’t hold it against me- he was a veteran and police officer for 20 years.   Growing up in a family centered around law enforcement has helped guide me in this direction, and I will forever be grateful.  After graduation I intend to continue on to law school where I can further my education in hopes of becoming a criminal defense lawyer and later on a District Attorney.  An interesting fact about myself is that I found the passion to be a criminal defense lawyer from watching the O.J. Simpson case.  The facts and conspiracy theories evoked a whole new passion behind criminal investigation that I intend to use in my future.  One of my most prominent moments in my writing career was when I wrote for an online magazine and had my most prevalent article hit 1.6k shares.  I believe in treating people with the same kind of respect and manners you would expect in return, and in a way it has helped shaped my expectations in life.   When you first meet me I won’t be the loudest in the room or the center of attention, but I will be intently listening to everything you say, for what you have to say may have a purpose. I believe in purpose. I believe that everyone is here to help you grow into who you are today and who you will be tomorrow.
