Well it's now spring break and the chances you are currently sitting on some tropical island is slim because you are a broke college student after all. Just because you aren't sitting on a beach, tanning, doesn't mean you can't have some fun this break. Gather up some friends and par take in some of the activities listed below to have a fun filled break rather than sitting on that couch.

1. Get Your Game Face On

Have some friendly competition with your friends by going bowling or rollerskating. Don't want to spend the money? Play board games or if the weather is nice get outside and play wiffle ball or kickball.

2. Connect With Nature

If the weather is cooperating and in fact spring-like weather, go for a hike, bicycle ride or just walk around your neighborhood!

3. Relax

Yeah it might seem relaxing to sit on your couch just watching T.V, but why not treat your body by taking a nice warm bath or just reading a book for pleasure for once?

4. Whip Up Some Delicious Food

You finally get to escape the bland campus food so why not take the time to finally make some homemade food? Even if you just make your own dessert I'm sure it'll be better than campus's dessert options.

5. Visit Family

Yeah being around family can be annoying sometimes, but you probably haven't seen them for awhile now. Take the time to go visit them because soon enough you will be graduating from college and will be wrapped up in your new adult life.

6. Explore Your Hometown

Do you truly know everything there is to know about your hometown? Why not visit local stores, museums or attractions your hometown has to offer. Some places even offer discounted tickets or prices to locals.

7. Take A Day Trip

OK, you couldn't quite afford that all-inclusive trip to Mexico, but you can always take a day trip somewhere. I know I like taking day trips to Philadelphia, Washington D.C, and Baltimore.

8. Get Out Those Old Arts & Crafts

Why not get creative and crafty? It's a sure way to keep you busy and can help you to relax after all those midterms you just had.

9. Try Something New

Maybe there was always something you wanted to try, but never quite got the chance to. Well breaks are the perfect opportunity to do just that! This past winter break I finally got the chance to try skiing, and guess what? I loved it!

10. Go Workout

Maybe this semester you haven't been able to workout as much as you would have liked to. Well now that it's break you can workout at release all of those endorphins as well as stress from school.

11. Get Dressed Up For An Evening

You've probably been bumming it most of this semester so why not get dressed up, and go out to dinner with your friends? And to make the most of it, leave your phones in the car or at home so you can have some good, deep conversations.

12. Have A Bonfire

Bonfires are a perfect way to kick off the spring/summer seasons so invite your friends, ignite the fire, and roast some marshmallows!
