Spring break is rapidly approaching and whether you are traveling for vacation, going home or staying in Muncie, everyone deserves to have a relaxing escape from classes.
Here are nine tips to help maximize your week off:
1. Host a friend reunion
When was the last time you saw or even talked to your friends from high school? Call a few buddies up on the phone and reminisce on memories you shared with them or even make some new ones.
2. Keep your friends close, but family closer
It’s the last time you will probably see your family for an extended period of time before summer break. They will probably want to spend as much time with you as possible. Spend a couple days relaxing at home with people you love.
3. Grab some peanuts and Cracker Jack and enjoy a baseball game
Spring training is officially underway. Why not use the vacation to see your favorite team gear up for the regular season?
4. Don’t fall asleep on the beach
This one should be obvious. Unless you’re trying to have the shape of a hand burnt into your skin, slather on the sunscreen and keep active.
5. Channel your inner wanderlust
Nothing exciting planned for the week? Just fill up a carload of friends and explore. Nothing is holding you back from discovering the hidden secrets the states have to offer.
6. Don’t spend too much time on social media
Sure we all want to share our amazing selfies, but don’t post too much while you’re there. Take some time to enjoy and live in the moment. The jealous-worthy pics can wait until you touch down at home.
7. Be smart about your money
No one wants to end up miles from home without a penny to their name. Make sure you budget out exactly what you need prior to the trip to ensure that while your friends are swimming with dolphins, you can be cozying up next to Flipper too.
8. Watch some Irish dancing
Staying in Muncie over break? “Rhythm of the Dance,” an Irish dance and music extravaganza that recognizes the history and transformation of the dance, is being hosted March 10 7:30 p.m. in Emens Auditorium. Better yet, tickets are only $10 for students.
9. Remember that you’re still in school
Sorry to bring it up, but someone had to. While you shouldn’t be working all break, keep an eye out for what assignments await you on your return. This way, you won’t be returning jetlagged and unprepared.

In our restless dreams…we go back, to that town, 'Silent Hill 2'
By Aaron Picklesimer / 15 hours agoBloober Team’s remake of iconic Silent Hill 2 is near a masterpiece. It might not achieve the same status as the original, but the game builds upon the foundations of what Team Silent originally designed over two decades ago, giving players, new and old, a fresh lens through which to experience the sorrowfully psychological story of James Sunderland. Any fan of the franchise should look to this game as the potential that the franchise isn’t dead—that hope may yet still reside within the town of Silent Hill.
