The time has come for the ever-awaited high school spring break. Those of us still struggling through these four years of hell had to watch our college friends live it up during their break weeks ago, but it's finally our turn! Time to head to the south, forget about all of the schoolwork we probably should've finished weeks ago, and break out the bikinis! Unless, however, you are staying home for the week. Welcome to the club! I have spent many-a-spring break in the comfort of my own home, so here is my advice to you on how to stay sane while your classmates are partaking in illegal activities states away.

1. Don't check Instagram

Unless of course you want to drown in envy of those posing uncomfortably on the beach. I promise that after the third poolside pic in a row, you will begin to wonder if there is a glitch on your feed. There's no glitch, just the same friends using the same filters.

2. Take up a new hobby

Knitting isn't so bad, right?

3. Probably delete Instagram altogether

Inevitably, you're going to check it so you might as well (temporarily) get rid of it. Scrolling past half-naked pictures won't make your break any better.

4. Read some books

Since you will have one less social media account to check, you'll have plenty of time to read!

5. Make up your adventure story

First period Monday morning will be filled with crazy (and most likely made up) stories of how so-and-so can't remember what happened but can remember that it was awesome, so create your own. What they don't know won't kill them.
