I would love to embark upon the various sunny and pleasant weather spring break destinations, like Cancún, typically sought after by college students, but I know it won’t be a reality for me this spring break.

My plans are much simpler: I will be back at home in Chicago. There I will be spending my time catching up on much-needed sleep, hanging out with my friends and family, and rejoicing in tons of retail therapy and other sources for relaxation (ahem, party anyone?). I’m hoping to make the best of this weeklong break from classes.
