Florida, Mexico, and California are some of the most popular and the best places to spend a wild spring break. Most college students get to spend their spring break partying on a beach, tanning in the sun, and having an incredible vacation. In my case, while my friends are out adventuring in amazing places such as Scotland, I get to spend my spring break at home. While this doesn't sound very exciting at first, I'm actually incredibly lucky to get to spend my spring break relaxing and hanging out with friends/family. Without further ado, here are the best things that happen when you spend all of spring break at home.
1. Binge-watching Netflix
The best part about staying at home is being able to brag to your friends about how many seasons of "The Office" or "Friends" you were able to watch. Nothing beats being able to stay in bed and binge-watch your favorite series on Netflix.
2. Sleeping in
Competing for the best part about going home over break, is being able to sleep in for however long you'd like. What's better than getting more than four hours a sleep per night? Absolutely nothing. It's even better knowing that you have no responsibilities for the day and you can binge-watch on Netflix!
3. Eating home-cooked meals
Dining hall food just doesn't cut it sometimes (or ever!), which is why home-cooked meals are just another amazing part of staying at home for spring break! Nothing is better than an incredibly tasty hot dish or some freshly baked cookies. Plus, then you get to bring back some delicious meals to your dorm/apartment!
4. Compulsively watching your friends Snapchat stories
Not nearly as amazing as sleeping in or binge-watching Netflix, you get the joy to watch all of your friends live it up on their crazy spring break vacations! Try not to get too jealous. I'm sure they would much rather trade places with you.
5. Hanging out with friends
Who doesn't miss their high school friends? I know I most definitely do. Another great perk about staying home: Hanging out with high school friends is incredibly exciting, and it's so much fun to catch up!
6. Hanging out with family
Arguably the greatest part about spending spring break at home, next to binge-watching Netflix and sleeping in, is spending time with your parents, siblings, and pets. There's nothing better. Enjoy your time with family before you have to go back to the realities of college.
