Spring Break is that week to do all the things you never or hardly have time to do during the semester. There are so many possibilities but I've pinpointed 14 ways to make the most of your Spring Break!
1. Hangout with friends.
There’s nothing better than catching up with your friends you haven’t seen in months to remind you how much you’ve missed them! Car dates are the best (you literally park your car, sit in it, and talk for hours. It’s a thing, try it)
2. Go see a movie.
Not going to lie, I’m on the 50 Shades plane ride and I’m not getting off!
3. Read a book.
From personal experience, it’s nice to be able to read something that has nothing to do with the human body or the nursing process
4. Go to the beach or skiing.
This is that weird in-between time where you could be in shorts one day and a parka the next. So, if your bank account allows it, take a trip up north or down south and enjoy everything that comes with it!
5. Take a road trip.
Unlike a specific destination like the beach or skiing, taking a road trip allows you the freedom to go anywhere and end up in places you didn’t even plan to be. Let your car roll with the wind.
6. Have a lounge day.
Ahh, a lounge day…sounds like a little piece of heaven to me! A day dedicated to sleeping, movies, pajamas, or just plain nothing. You can personalize it to whatever you want like it’s a Sweet Frog frozen yogurt!
7. Have a bonfire.
This one is a personal favorite. Every time I come home my dad tells me he’s been building it up for me so I can have a bon fire whenever I want. The boys grilling and keeping the fire going, all your close friends sitting around laughing and catching up, smores; perfect night for me!
8. Go fishing.
If you’re like me, you’re like taking a kindergartener fishing. My favorite part of fishing is the casting and reeling back in, so my ideal fishing afternoon is a stocked pond where you can always catch something.
9. Go shopping.
Spring break means summer is right around the corner and you know what that means, time to build your summer wardrobe!
10. Spring cleaning
This week would be the perfect time to deep clean your house, clean out your closet, vacuum out your car. Basically any cleaning you always say you never have any time to do
11. Cook yourself a good meal.
Ohhh yes! Don’t get me wrong, I cook myself meals but during the semester, they’re usually the same meal over and over due to the time crunch I'm always on
12. Go to your favorite restaurant.
Whenever I come home I always suggest my family goes to my favorite restaurant called Lulu Bird's. It's the kind of restuarant you can eat foods you don't like but still love the meal. Although, I always get the same meal because it's just that good! (I’d go on my own but it’s a little on the pricey side
13. Have family quality time.
Spring break is a great time to catch up with friends you haven’t seen in months but don’t forget about your family too! My dad and I always go to our local trail and go running or as a family we go on the boat or sit down for a nice meal and watch a movie afterwards
14. Get ahead or catch up on school work.
Trust me, school work is the last thing I want to be on my mind but if you don’t have much going on during this week, this would be the perfect opportunity to get on top of school work. I usually like to get all my work done in the first three days of break so I can relax the rest of the week.
