Active or lightly active??

I currently have my myfitnesspal settings set at active which puts me at 2060 calories for the day burned from normal daily activities. If I would have had it set to lightly active my calories burned from normal activity would be 1920. My question is should I have it stay where it is at active or put it down to lightly active. I am a highschool student and spend my days walking around the school up and down stairs and what not and exercise most every night whether it be running or some other type of aerobics and toning workouts. Right now I am on spring break and am not walking around as much however I still workout at night, sometimes a little during the day because I am bored. Should I temporarily change the setting or keep it the same. Idk, im very confused. Thanks!
