10 Ways On How To NOT Spend Your Spring Break

Her Campus

With spring break right around the corner, it's time to start building a list of how you want to spend it. Where do you start? Where should you go? Can you afford it? You may be overwhelmed with trying to spend to spring break in the best way possible -- don't worry. This list will help you eliminate activities in order to make your list easier to create. These are 10 ways on how to not spend your spring break.

1. The DMV

If you're planning on getting your license over spring break, do it now. You don't want to spend your week off by standing in line and waiting for your number.

2. Going to Vegas (or any big city)

No, what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas -- because we will see everything on Twitter and Snapchat.

3. Skiing

OK, if you're planning on a skiing trip, I'd recommend seeing a doctor shortly after, because that's crazy! This is the week of soaking in the sun and escaping the cold weather -- not embracing it!

4. Homework

Don't procrastinate, get your homework done earl-- oh, who am I kidding, we're all going to wait until the end to finish our homework.

5. Staying indoors

It's spring break! Go outside and enjoy the weather. Or stay inside under the covers and watch Netflix all day. You do you.

6. Working out

No. Bad. This is a week of R&R. Give your brain and muscles a break and unwind. You've earned it. Go ahead and order a triple-cheese pizza -- nobody is judging you.

7. Driving in traffic

Unless moving a few inches over the course of an hour is fun, I would not recommend sitting in traffic over spring break. If you're traveling, try to get a head start before the traffic begins. Otherwise, Stockholm Syndrome will become your new best friend.

8. Tweeting about it

Do us all a favor and don't. We don't need to see that you're using all of the trending hashtags. #NoThankYou.

9. Going to the beach

Yes, you heard me right. Don't go to the beach during spring break. It'll be overcrowded, you'll lose your friends easily, and you won't be able to tell what just touched your leg while swimming in the ocean. Was that a child or something else?

10. Planning on what to do during spring break

This shouldn't require much explanation. Don't invest a lot of time planning. Otherwise, it'll be over as soon as you're ready to start. Enjoy it!

The best thing about spring break is that there are numerous ways to spend it. Use the time to unwind, relax, and breathe. The last thing you need to be worrying about is what's coming up right after the break. Don't worry about those finals, projects, or presentations due right afterwards -- embrace the sun!

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
