Spring Break will be here before you know it.

Charleston Southern’s break is scheduled for March 12-16. So you have plenty of time to make some plans before the break begins, but it will
be here sooner than you think.

We all hope to have a few good times and make some great memories during days off of school, but we also want to set aside some time to
rest and recharge before the second half of the semester gets under way. So the question is what are you doing for Spring Break?

In Charleston, there are a lot of things to do to avoid being bored during the break. Chucktown has beaches to visit, Folly Beach, Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island.

You can reference BucOnline’s article about the 10 best cheap things to do in Charleston for more information on staying away from
boredom.  You can find that article here: 10 Cheap Things

But on the other hand, Spring Break is also a time to enjoy doing, well, nothing. You could finish that book you’ve been trying to read,
catch up on episodes of your favorite TV show or even spend time with your family.

Spring Break is several days looked forward to all semester, so we took some time to ask how students would be spending it.

Zach Clements, a freshman, doesn’t “plan on doing anything.”

Dennis McHone said he planned on visiting his girlfriend and practicing soccer.

Taylor Bass said he was “going to Orlando to do a church plant.”

Despite the difference of plans between students, we can all agree that Spring Break is a great time away from school and an opportunity to
relax.

Over the last few years, Facebook has grown to be the most popular social networking site on the Internet. The website was once following
in the footsteps of sites such as MySpace, but now has taken over the social networking world and completely rewritten the rule book.

Facebook has made many infamous changes to its look, some accepted and some not so much. The newest change is a big one and is slowly
creeping into many people’s conversations.

The new Facebook timeline asks you to “tell your life story with a new kind of profile.”  It has now become available to any user who desires it but will eventually no longer be an option.

With timeline, you’re able to travel back to when you first made your Facebook account and look at statuses, comments, etc. You can also
add “life events,” which are highlights of critical moments in your life, such as moving to another city or state, graduating high school or college, starting a new relationship, etc.

Another new feature is your cover photo, which is essentially a second profile picture. It stretches across your profile like a banner.

Freshman Philip Shutt says that he likes “the set up of it and how you can do more to personalize it”.

On the other hand, Bryan Smith, also a freshman, says that he thinks “it’s cool if you want to stalk someone!”

There obviously have been mixed feelings about the change, but as that new feeling goes away and users start to get used to the timeline, it
will be just Facebook again.

The American Heart Association sponsors heart month each February.  Members of the Future Teacher’s Society supported the movement
this year by participating in “Paint King Street Red.” They visited participating businesses and restaurants in downtown areas to paint a red dress logo on windows and handed out flyers and pins.

The logo of the flowing red dress represents the dynamic nature of the Go Red for Women movement which promotes a heart-healthy lifestyle and education for women about heart disease.

By sharing this visible symbol with others, the FTS ladies helped increase the visibility of the Go Red for Women movement in the Charleston
area.  Heart and cardio-vascular conditions are the leading cause of death in America.
