4 Fun Things To Do Over Spring Break At Home

As much as we would all love to go on a trip to a new and exotic place over this upcoming break, sometimes for whatever reason, that isn’t possible. Even if this is the case, it doesn’t mean that you can’t have a fun and memorable spring break exploring the place that you call home. So for all of you who are stuck at home, here are some ideas for things you can do locally to make your spring break more exciting.

1. Visit a Museum

Museums are everywhere and if there is not a good one where you live you don’t have to drive far to find one. Too many people discount museums as boring but they can be a great way to learn more about a certain topic in a more interactive and visual way. If you aren’t a huge fan of history then try checking out an art museum or an interactive science museum. Museums also almost always have discounted tickets for students which make them more affordable and accessible than a lot of other activities.

2. Go Outdoors

Especially as spring approaches and the weather warms up, it is the perfect time for any kind of outdoor activity. Some possible ideas for things to do outside include going on a hike, walking your pet, going to the beach, going for a swim, any kind of water activity (such as jet skiing), or any kind of sport. Going outside even if it is for a little bit can brighten your mood and is great for your health (both physical and mental).

3. Learn something new

You might be thinking “I have been in school for the past 2 months why would I want to learn on my spring break?”, but learning includes way more than simply memorizing facts or solving problems. Learning a new skill by taking a cooking class or practicing how to juggle can be a fun way of stepping out of your comfort zone and bettering yourself while still doing something really fun. Who knows? You might even find a new hobby that you love by trying and learning about new things.

4. Make Something on Your Own

There is something that is super satisfying about knowing that you made something by yourself. It is a great way to kill time and feel productive. You might want to try things like knitting a sweater, painting a picture, cooking a meal, or baking a cake. All of these things not only keep you occupied and prevent you from spending your entire break in your room watching netflix but they also ensure that when you are done with whatever it is that you are doing you have something great to show for all the time that you spent.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
