We all know that once finals are done, we all head home for the long month of doing absolutely nothing. We usually wake up at around noon, eat a little snack, maybe shower if we're up to it, and then go back in to hibernation while binge watching the latest show on Netflix. "This break will be different," we say while we have no ideas on what to do. Well I have five ideas that will make this break one to remember.
1. Go bowling and compete against your friends
You can play to get the highest score or see what "cool" moves you can do while throwing the bowling bowl. Bowling alleys also have black lights so wear all white and have an awesome night with lots of laughter.
2. Go ice skating
Ice skating is one of those things that you do not have to be good at to have a fun time. Go with someone who knows how to skate and hold on to them. Afterwards you can get hot chocolate and defrost from all the falling you did at the rink.
3. Have a paint night
Grab a couple friends and head out to Walmart to get all the painting supplies then go back to someone's house to get your painting on. Throw in a movie and make some snacks while you are painting your hearts out.
4. Go exploring at night
Pile into one car with all your friends and see where the night will take you. A fun game you can play is to pick a number between one and twenty which will be the amount of times you will flip a coin to see where you will end up. Once you have that number, flip a coin. Heads is a right turn and tails is a left turn. Once you end up at the destination, do something spontaneous and just have fun. After a night of exploring, always end with getting food somewhere like Applebee's Half Apps or McDonalds.
5. Prank your friends
Enlist some of your fellow friends to pick one person in your friend group to prank. One idea of a prank is filling up balloons and putting them in your friends car all the way up to the top. Another prank idea is to attack them with Nerf guns or silly string when they come out of their house or their work. These pranks are harmless and produce many memories of laughter that will last forever.
With any of these ideas, you are sure to have an eventful winter break without laying on your bed being bored out of your mind. I have successfully tested all these ideas and I found out that they will help you get closer to your friends and you will have a wonderful break. These all produce memories filled with laughter that you will remember for your entire life.
