Are you bummed about being stuck at home this Spring Break? Do you feel like there's no way you could have fun this week with all of your friends out at the beach? Think again!
This list should give you hope that you, too, can have a fun filled Spring Break, even at home.
Just kidding, this list below will actually give you some ideas to occupy yourself on your Spring Break.
1. Be A Tourist In Your Own Town
This one is a great way to get to know your hometown (or college town) better. Research the top places for tourists to go visit if they had never been to your town and take a day to go tour around the city! You might even find new attractions you’ve never even seen before.
2. Find A DIY Project On Pinterest
This one’s a classic. I always see cute DIY projects but I never have the time or motivation to actually follow through with making it. Having a chill Spring Break allows you to take the time to actually devote a few hours to making a craft you normally wouldn’t have time for.
3. Take A Road Trip To The Nearest Big City
Round up some friends and hop in your car and take a mini road trip to the nearest big city. New surroundings offer something unique that your hometown may not normally offer. With unfamiliar restaurants, shops and sights, exploring the city for a day could be a great counter to a weeklong beach trip for Spring Break.
4. Hike Somewhere New
With the weather being warm enough to want to be outdoors but also chilly enough to cool you off after hiking to the top of a mountain, it is ideal for hiking! Finding new sights in nature is always something to pursue and is definitely a great way to spend a day over Spring Break.
5. Find A New Recipe To Cook From Scratch
Wouldn’t it be nice to eat a meal that wasn’t Chick-fil-A or frozen pizza for once? You could devote a day to finding a recipe for one of your favorite meals and taking the time to make it yourself. If you’re feeling extra creative (or hungry), you could even make an appetizer or dessert along with your meal!
6. Volunteer Somewhere
Take some time to be selfless and volunteer at a local shelter or food bank. It is so refreshing to devote some time and energy to your community for the better. While it is your Spring Break and your week to relax and have fun, remember those who aren’t as fortunate and take some time to help them out.
7. Read A Book
Reading is NOT out of style folks! With all the chaos of school, work and extra curricular activities, it’s rare to find the time to just sit down and enjoy a book nowadays. Spring Break is an ideal week to just relax and dedicate some hours to yourself and the pages of a good book.
8. Go To A Local Concert
Go see some local music! There are constantly shows and musicians performing all around the city, and they’re normally pretty cheap! (Who doesn’t love saving money here?) Local concerts are a fantastic way to discover new music and to relax and enjoy a good show.
9. Go To A Theme Park
Embrace your inner child and drive to the nearest theme park or water park. Days spent riding rollercoasters and eating overpriced food are always assuring for a good time. Need I say more?
10. Have An Anti-Spring Break Party
I’m sure you’re not the only one stuck at home this Spring Break. What better way to embrace that then gathering up all of your friends stuck with you and throwing an anti-Spring Break party?
